Bluetooth & Portable Speakers

A portable Bluetooth speaker gives you the freedom to enjoy music without a permanent audio setup. Connect a compatible smartphone, tablet or other Bluetooth device and play your favourite music, podcasts and other audio wirelessly.

Portable speakers are available in a variety of sizes and designs, from compact models that are easy to move between rooms to larger wireless speakers designed to deliver more powerful sound. Selected models may also offer Wi-Fi connectivity, rechargeable batteries or additional smart features.

Portable DAB Radios

Keep up with your favourite stations with a portable DAB radio. DAB and DAB+ radios provide access to compatible digital radio broadcasts, while many models also include traditional FM reception for additional listening choice.

Compact portable radios are ideal for kitchens, bedrooms, home offices and other spaces around the home. Depending on the model, additional features can include Bluetooth connectivity, rechargeable batteries, presets, alarms and other convenient functions.

Wireless Headphones

Enjoy music, podcasts, films and more with wireless headphones designed for convenient personal listening. Bluetooth connectivity allows compatible headphones to pair wirelessly with smartphones, tablets, computers and other supported devices.

When choosing headphones, consider comfort, battery life and the features that matter most to you. Selected models may include features such as active noise cancellation, helping to reduce unwanted background noise while you listen.

Portable Audio for Home & On the Go

Portable audio isn't only about listening away from home. A compact speaker or radio can be easily moved between rooms, making it a flexible alternative to a permanently installed audio system. Rechargeable models provide even greater freedom where a mains socket isn't conveniently located.

If you plan to use a speaker outdoors, check the individual product specifications for features such as battery life and water or dust resistance. Not all portable audio products are designed for outdoor use, so it's important to choose a model suitable for where you intend to use it.

Choosing the Right Portable Audio

The right portable audio product depends on how and where you like to listen. A DAB radio may be ideal if you primarily listen to radio stations, while a Bluetooth speaker provides an easy way to play audio from a compatible mobile device. Wireless headphones provide a more personal listening experience without disturbing others.

Consider features such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, battery life, physical size, charging options and portability when comparing products. Checking the individual specifications will help you find the right combination of features for your needs.
