This attractive new Bluetooth speaker from Neutron is great for the beach, camping or general outdoor use. It is IPX5 water-resistant - fine in the rain, but do not immerse it in water - can be charged with any micro-USB cable and has a wrist strap which can be secured to a rucksack. It is stylishly designed, looks good in the home or office, but is small enough not to take up to much desk space.

This speaker has a feature new to me which allows two of these devices to be linked together over Bluetooth to work in sync from one audio source. This s a feature of the new Bluetooth 5 protocol found here which also makes pairing simpler, extends connection range and reduces dropouts. The use of Bluetooth 5 for me is the main reason to buy this unit.

Sound quality is excellent, with no mid or upper range distortion and a clean if slightly understated bass response. I found the claimed 10m connection range to be a realistic one with a Bluetooth 5 enabled phone. The sound quality will never be fantastic from a 40mm driver but this one certainly packs quite a punch with a clear and detailed sound that misses nothing. Sound quality for phone calls is fine too and they can be accepted or rejected from the large front panel buttons along with the usual volume and track control.

Priced at a shade less than £20, this is a good buy for anyone needing a good quality all-round speaker for home or travel use.
