If you want a full,
punchy sound that’s
fairly expansive, and
that doesn’t crush
when going loud,
then this is the place
to start. It’s also an
object of desire, and
is available in a great
range of colours.£199, johnlewis.com
JBL FLIP 6Small enough to

about damage when
you use it outdoors.£130, jbl.com

speaker with Wi-Fi

crappy app.£178, electricshop.com

doesn’t really try to
straddle home and
outdoors: it’s clearly

wherever the party is.
It’s waterproof, and
well protected against
grit, dust and beach-
side sand.£78, amazon.co.uk

and light helps too.£330, sony.co.ukSONY WH-CH510While you may not

sound that’s powerful
and upfront.£36, sony.co.ukAUDIO-TECHNICA

a slight extra kick
of bass), plus great
comfort levels, make
these ideal for losing
yourself in music.£179, audio-technica.comJBL TUNE 660NCJBL does great
