Speakers

Premium-feeling speaker with a showstopper light show, though the sound is quite compressed.

Advertised as 12,000 watts but far smaller and weaker than the listing claimed, at 5 watts times two.

An absurdly dense, heavy and loud speaker that he found impressive, though he never judged its value.

A capable, self-charging shower speaker that is punchy rather than accurate, with most water pressure preserved.

A Sonos-powered picture frame speaker that blends into a room and sounds better than expected; rated 8.

Cited as an ecosystem product that lets iPhone users hand playback straight to the speaker.

Surprisingly good-sounding speaker that displays lyrics artistically, but not worth 2,600 unless you see it as art.

A fascinating player that lets you remix tracks live, but needing to upload music to their site and no Spotify support is a major catch.

A $3 speaker that sounds better than expected and beats his phone.

Not great sounding, but at $5 it makes sense as a way to boost your phone's volume in the shower.

A record-thin speaker, 1.1cm, with surprisingly full sound and an eight hour battery.

Turns any object into a speaker using vibration and delivers surprising bass.

Giant speakers shaped like earphones that he named product of the year and the favourite of the video.

Metal speaker with surprisingly good bass for its size, though he doubts the audiophile claim.

A heavy, wild-looking Wish speaker that looked as crazy as pictured and worked shockingly well.

Sounds the same from any angle with decent bass, but he isn't blown away and wouldn't recommend paying £500.

A $20 Devialet Phantom lookalike that sounds better than expected despite one-sided sound.

Badly named but great-sounding speaker he uses to blast music before filming.

Cited as a cheaper way into Apple's ecosystem that works poorly with Android phones.

A pocket speaker with surprisingly good sound that mounts magnetically and expands for deeper bass.

A clever speaker that splits into a stereo pair and houses earbuds, with great battery life, though the case is bulky.

A Bluetooth speakerphone with six microphones, more useful than he first expected.

Clean-looking speaker with a volume dial, quick pairing and louder than expected, but distorts at max volume.

Bought to prove that different is not always good, a badly designed speaker that makes you use a remote instead of your phone.
