Recomendation for a small active speakers under 1k

[cmaluend]

Hi,
I am looking for a small active speaker that I can move around my house easily and play music from my phone using Bluetooth or aux input. It'd be nice if the speakers have Spotify or Tidal connect.
I don't want to spend too much money on these speakers because they will not be part of my main audio system. I am planning to use them in the garden and with my laptop.

The options that I have seen are:
* Q Acoustics M20 HD Wireless
* PSB Alpha AM3/AM5

Regards,
Cristian.

Hi. Look into Ultimate Ears or JBL bluetooth speakers, see which ones you can pair in stereo (I think you could do that with the small Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 at least, not 100% sure).

If it's for inside or "in the garden" means you can hook them up there and provide them with some cover, look into geting some Sonos Play One + Play SL, or whatever Sonos you can get to make a stereo pair.

The two setups you're considering are also worth looking into, but they are more for desktop/inside use.

Sonos Move is weatherproof and will give you the flexibility with great performance. Your budget will allow an additional Sonos Roam which you can carry with you wherever.

Naim Qube has Bluetooth, Aux-in, Spotify, Tidal and more. Depends on budget and having a power supply in the garden.

You must have ruled out headphones then Christian?
Easily carried about the house or garden (with both hands free).
Of course, you may prefer speakers, though you've got them in your main system.

That’s what I thought when I read the heading. But when I read the whole question about what he actually wants then these aren’t right at all.

Everyone brings their own Bluetooth headphones and then the neighbours don't get to hear it.
