Panasonic NA07 Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Blue

While nowhere near the fidelity of any of the UltimateEars portale speakers, I needed a cheaper alternative - something for camping and improving my laptop audio at fraction of the cost but isn't a horrible compromise on sound.
I had been contemplating gambling on a Kmart bluetooth speaker but reviews on this Panasonic speaker tipped the balance in its favour.
Post-camping trip, it has been used by my young one for Spotify music at bedtime.

The best I can describe the sound is that the higher/treble range is a bit lacking (not as "crisp") but bass and mid is fine.

I had been contemplating gambling on a Kmart bluetooth speaker but reviews on this Panasonic speaker tipped the balance in its favour.
Post-camping trip, it has been used by my young one for Spotify music at bedtime.

The best I can describe the sound is that the higher/treble range is a bit lacking (not as "crisp") but bass and mid is fine.
Despite that, I find that despite the size the speaker is capable of pumping out at good high volume when desired.

Two quirks that I've experienced: To re-pair or switch bluetooth devices, you'd normally expect to hold down the bluetooth button. However, this is only used to change mode from wired to bluetooth - it is in fact a long-press on the play button to "disconnect" from the current device and go back to pairing mode. It feels counterintuitive, but not a drama once you're aware.

The second quirk is that I've been finding the 5 minutes auto power-off (in bluetooth mode) a bit inconvenient. This will happen not just when bluetooth isn't connected, but also when there's no audio, so if you've paused music for a bit - e.g. to take a call, I'm finding the speaker has turned itself off.

Works as it says, great price! Works as it says, great price!

A nice looking speaker with a decent sound from a reputable brand. The price was good and although I haven’t had it up all the way it sounds pretty good nonetheless .
