neocore A1 Portable Wireless Bluetooth 5.3 Speaker, 24h+ battery, SD Card, AUX, Stereo with Subwoofer for iPhone, Android

On powering the speaker it paired quickly and easily with my iPhone13. When I first played some music I was disappointed with the sound quality however after a few hours use the sound is now very good for such a small unit. Vocals are very clear and it has a surprising amount of bass to give a decent overall sound quality. It’s also loud enough for an average sized room, it’s the ideal speaker to take away on holiday or on a picnic or day trip. It charges quite quickly and the battery seems to last for ages although I haven’t done a full charge-to-empty test as yet. Bear in mind that this is quite a small speaker and not a lot of money but it’s definitely good value. The design of the unit is very pleasing with a modern, sharp looking cabinet with a hard rubberised shell finish. On the top there are four press pads for power, source, vol+ and vol-, there is a useful hook on the left side to attach the supplied carabiner which can be used to hook the speaker onto your rucksack or to suspend the speaker during playback. Also supplied is a funky orange USB charging cable and a mini jack cable for aux input. The ports are located under a flap on the rear panel to give a degree of water protection. So to sum up, the Neocore Wave is a great little speaker for the money, I might buy another to make stereo pair. By the way, I changed the Spotify EQ to Small Speaker.

This speaker is amazing! - So far.I've only been using it for the past day or so and it is undoubtedly the best of the three I've tried in the last month. The speaker is very sturdy with a kind of rubberised base for stability and grip (and bass isolation. there's no rattling!) - It's Bluetooth 4.2 and this does make a difference in terms of speed, reliability and ease of connection - a lot of the cheap Bluetooth speakers on the market use very old BT technology).It's quite large (compared to some) and obviously this benefits the the speaker acoustics as the 'cabinet' itself produces a rich & deeply satisfying sound, whilst retaining clarity - I used it yesterday in a roomful of students doing a Listening Exam and they were very complimentary.The size also allows a bigger rechargeable battery to be fitted, so more time between charges and/or more volume when it's required.The manual is clear, simple and sufficient - connecting to my laptop / tablet / mobile phone was as easy as Bluetooth is supposed to be!There is a 2-year warranty, a useful website and a dedicated page to request a repair so the aftersales support seems to be there if needed!Included in the box were a pretty decent USB cable, a 3.5mm > 3.5mm aux/Line-in cable and even a Carabiner to hang the speaker in a tent or somewhere outside (its IPX6 'waterproof' - so according to the manual - 3-5 minutes water flushing is OK - but don't soak)I'll keep this review up to date if things change*I bought mine from MangoMobile (via Amazon) and they are an excellent seller! - the speaker arrived on-time, well packaged and they sent me a courtesy email with instructions to 'reach out' if I'm dissatisfied. Amazing product too ... :)

This speaker has been with me up mountains, kayaking and rock climbing. Part of its versatility has been its rugged and waterproof design (I don't know if it is strictly waterproof but It has accidentally been in a few lakes) and usefully attached carabiner. However the most useful bit has been the ability to load up a micro SD card with thousands of songs or podcasts so that I can take my music with me everywhere even places I wasn't able to take a phone. The battery life is also fantastic especially when you are playing off an SD card easily lasting a few days of constant playback in my case. In all honesty the sound quality isn't perfect and I wish it was a little bit louder but for the price it is unbeatable. I would recommend this to anyone from people wanting to have some music at a gathering to people doing a whole verity of outdoor sports.P.S. it perfectly fits in a bike bottle cage so its great for listening to music while cycling around.
