The Elac speakers are in formidable company. They do have price on their side – £440 is a notch up from the budget market – but the superb Award-winning B&W 685 S2s are a short jump up at £500. The Elacs are a decent pair, but they need to offer...

Overall, we’ve rather enjoyed our time with the PSB Imagine X1Ts. They’re capable, entertaining performers, and they’re aggressively priced. That said, we would like more refinement, as offered by the Q Acoustics Concept 40s, for example. We’d like a...

The Harman Kardon Onyx Mini is one of the better desktop Bluetooth speakers we've tested lately. It delivers a very healthy bass response in the above-100Hz realm, and thus sounds quite rich. Pair that with bright, crisp high frequency response, and...

Looked at abstracted from its price, the Philips Shoqbox SB7200 is great. It’s sturdy, boasts some fun additional features and has a decent internal battery. At £140, though, its sound doesn’t quite justify the outlay. It’s only worth considering if...

This is a great little unit and I'm very pleased with it so far. The size of a can of beer, weight a little lighter but still nicely hefty for its size, it feels very sturdy, and the sound has plenty of welly for a small room. It looks good, neat and...

Great design and a bunch of thoughtful design features make the Soundbook X3 a solid wireless speaker contender. However, as with many premium wireless speakers, the sound per pound equation is a bit tricky.

The Definitive Technology Sound Cylinder is a versatile and compact portable Bluetooth speaker that also converts into a stand for just about any tablet -- but it's priced a little high for its sound quality.

A basic set of PC speakers with a few quirks, the Logitech Z-5s operate entirely via USB, which means you need a PC to use them. The audio quality is adequate but nothing special.
