Portable speakers aren’t a product I would normally post about on this blog but I had to post about these! I received these to review about a month or so ago and have really been putting them through their paces at various summer occasions – and other uses too.
You may have heard of my Operation Lose That Mum Tum plan to get rid of the jelly belly that has been left hanging around for nearly a year after Jack’s birth. Well, I finally decided a month or so ago that I really need to take this seriously. I don’t know about you but when I’m exercising, I need music – fast paced music to spur me on. I had been looking into getting an MP3 player (yes, I am one of those few people who doesn’t own an iPod!) but when I was told about these iLuv portable speakers* for smartphones, I had to give them a go!
I used to have portable speakers with my old Sony Ericsson phone and they were my favourite feature of the phone, to be honest. However, they were tiny and fell easily from pockets, tables. Obviously, to be portable, speakers need to be a fairly small size but their size left them impractical to take places, pretty much defeating the object! I used to actually use them whilst I was on the computer as I could guarantee where they were.
These speakers, however, are large enough not to fall out of a pocket but small enough to still be practical enough to carry around. So what was the sound quality like?
Fantastic. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about these. I have a large amount of music on my smartphone and I was worried about a tinny sound coming from the speakers and whether the bass would hold up.
I needn’t have. These were fantastic for a variety of occasions: barbecue, exercising/running, casual drinks. I know it’s a little late in the year to suggest this now but these would be perfect for festival season – perhaps they’d make a worthy investment for next year?
Do you own any portable speakers? Do you find them useful or impractical?
