Speakers

Fun to chain together but they don't sound very good.

An 11-speaker surround rig for your chair that sounds directional but not high-fidelity, and was a no from Tommy.

The best compromise between size and sound in his testing, with water resistance, decent battery and a MagSafe stand.

Cool-looking, hand-painted speaker with lighting that syncs to music, but the hood covers the controls and the limited edition feels poorly…

Clean-looking and better than laptop speakers, but the audio could be cleaner; his least favourite so far at 6.5 out of 10.

A cool-looking can speaker with USB-C, but it sounds tinny and isn't a good audio buy.

Tiny, cheap speaker that sounds far better than expected, though it is only an okay bottle opener.

Impressed by the set, especially headphones that take over the TV audio with a button hold.

A luxurious unboxing and nice LEDs, but it sounds only a bit better than a $50 speaker, so poor for the money.

Punchy and bassy, but not very clear, and it loses to an $80 fake that is louder and runs on a battery.

A fake that sounds as clear, is louder and bassier, has a built-in battery and brighter lighting, for a quarter of the price.

Convenient in theory and the sound is pretty good, but the transcript cuts off before his final verdict.

Not very transparent, but nice to look at and he likes it enough to keep it on the setup.

Cheap copy gives 65% of the sound and 90% of the design for 20% of the price.

Luxury glass speaker with phenomenal bass for its size and a design flex.

One of his final two speakers, but it lost the blind test to the Anker.

Chosen over the JBL Go 4 in blind tests: sounds a fraction better, costs less and lasts about 50% longer.

Two extra speakers that raise the system to 200 W of surround sound.

Turns surfaces into speakers but sounds inconsistent, so he says to just buy a normal Bluetooth speaker.

Best speaker you could get for around $30 and he would pick it over the flame speaker.

Surprisingly convincing flame effect and decent bass for $30, but the Anker speaker is the better buy.

Directional and 360-degree garden speakers with buried subwoofers keep sound close to listeners without annoying neighbours.

Ceiling speakers and a subwoofer give the gym its nightclub mode.

Ceiling speakers with a wide sound cone that keep the room uncluttered and make a powerful setup.
