WHAT’S ON TEST…

B&O Beolit 20

We know B&O’s audio gear is solid, and the Beolit 20 sounds fantastic. In terms of looks it’s delightfully retro, you get around eight hours of battery life, there’s easy speaker control via an accompanying app, and you can even charge up your smartphone by putting it on top of the speaker.

Sonos Move

Sonos sets a high bar when it comes to audio fidelity, build quality and ease of use – and these standards are maintained with the Move, one of two Sonos speakers for the outdoors. It can seamlessly join your existing Sonos network or operate independently, but doesn’t require its own mains connection and can last for around 11 hours on battery power.
