I have been thinking about a small portable bluetooth speaker for travel etc. since I got a new Android phone a little while ago but hadn't done anything else about it after I went to my local Currys/PC World and asked if I could try a few with my phone and was given a firm 'no' by the salesperson who approached me. However, yesterday I saw an article in the news section of this website that Cyrus has released the Soundcan which, according to their blurb, is their 'first piece of portable hi-fi equipment' (my emphasis on the 'hi-fi') and the Cyrus name had me convinced.
Anyway, I ordered one yesterday and, despite Cyrus saying 7-10 business days, it arrived this afternoon which is fantastic service.
It seems to be very well built and certainly looks good BUT I expected more in the sound quality department. Perhaps I am asking for too much that such a small piece of kit should deliver good sound but it is disappointing considering it has got the Cyrus name attached to it. That said, I have never actually heard another small bluetooth speaker at any price to use as a reference point - the Soudcan was £80 which, I think, is at the top end for such small devices.
Has anybody else on the site got (or heard) a Cyrus Soundcan and what do they think?
