The EC Technology Bluetooth speaker is a nice little speaker that at the time of writing cost just £20. The speaker makes a good first impression as rather than looking cheap and plastic the body is metal and the speaker has a nice weight to it, giving this a more premium than you’d expect for the low cost. The shape also means there are no sharp corners/edges to catch yourself on/catch on your bag.
The speaker comes with a USB charging cable and an aux in cable (the sort that plugs into the headphone socket of your mobile/MP3 players etc) for using the speaker without using bluetooth.
If you do want to use Bluetooth it only takes a minute to pair it with your device. Once paired the speaker will play anything being played on your device, so you can use this with music stored on your mobile or with streaming services such as Spotify or Deezer.
For a speaker so small and inexpensive the sound quality is really good. You won’t get a pounding bass, but impressively you don’t get distorted music when playing at higher volume. It can go loud enough to easily fill a room and it’s diminutive size means it’s very versatile, it could sit on a bookshelf or easily be taken travelling/on trips out.
There are music controls built in allowing you to adjust the volume, change tracks and play/pause. If you receive a call you’ve the option of using the speaker to pickup the call and use it hands free.
A great little speaker for a great little price. Available now from Amazon: https://goo.gl/aCoAQY
