PORTABLE SPEAKERS
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
NFC Near Field Communication. Pairing Bluetooth devices requires delving into menus; NFC is easier. Just rub two compatible devices together to seamlessly link them.
USB Bluetooth is great, but smartphones are notoriously weedy around the battery area. A USB port on your speaker lets you charge and play. You hip, you hop, and you don’t stop.
JBL Charge
OUT OF THE BOX
If there were Bluetooth speakers on the Death Star, this is what they’d look like. Its body is mostly made of tough white plastic, with a metal speaker grille and rubberised extremities. It’s light on controls, with just volume and power/pairing buttons on top, but versatile in use, working whether you stand
it up or lie it down. At one end is a big bass port; at the other, a little flap. Open this and you’ll find a USB output for charging devices while you play

Into your ears
Close your eyes and you’d struggle to believe the sound is coming from something the size of a beer can. And it’s not just a
big sound that the Charge produces easily – it’s a very competent one. The high frequencies are crisp, the bass is taut, and everything is nicely balanced. It also gets plenty loud without the slightest hint of distortion, which usually signifies when a speaker wants you to stop. Not so with this one – it just charges right ahead.
