The 10 Best wireless speakers



£300 for a pair, aqaudio.com
Speakers to melt the hearts of hi-fi nerds. The sleek 24W can be divided, becoming individual wireless iPhone/PC docks, or put together for full stereo sound.
2. Bose SoundLink Mobile speaker II
£249.95, bose.co.uk
When Soundlink arrived in 2011, it blew the top off the Bluetooth speaker category, so punchy was the sound. Now it's even better.
3. John Lewis Boom Bar Wireless Speaker
£29.95, johnlewis.com
These are ideal for new students who don't want to take pricey speakers into halls. They have an eight-hour battery life.
4. ION Water Rocker Waterproof Floating
£79.95, johnlewis.com
Pop this in the bath while you're having your evening soak. It bobs in the water, while your MP3 stays a respectful distance away.
5. Nokia Play 360
£95, amazon.co.uk
This has a whopping 24-hours of battery life. Ideal then, for when you are camping or at a music festival (preferably not in the British weather). The sound is 360 degrees.
6. Beats By Dr Dre Beatbox Portable
These have a whacking deep bass. Looks-wise they are unmistakeably Beats, and have little carrying grips.
7. Big Jambox
At 1.23kg it's not as bag-friendly as its little brother the Jawbone. But the loudness sure makes up for the weightiness. It connects to Bluetooth-enabled devices.
8. Logitech Ue Mobile Boombox
£79.99, Logitech.com
This is tiny with a surprisingly warm sound. Has a 10-hour battery life and an option that turns it into a speaker phone.
9. Monitor WS100
£250 for two, monitoraudio.co.uk
When you want to play your music straight from your PC or Mac, there's this nifty pair of 20w speaker with a surprisingly oomphy sound.
10. Libratone Zipp
£369.99, johnlewis.com
Audiophiles argue endlessly about the difference in quality between Bluetooth and home Wi-Fi. This creates its own Wi-Fi hot spot and then links in your iPad or iPod.
