Amazon £30 Bluetooth speaker delivers quality sound and is 'so easy to use'
'I can't believe how good this little Bluetooth speaker is.'
For those who are making the most of the glorious weather by hosting a garden party for their friends and family, one essential item to have available is a portable speaker. While people are chatting away enjoying their drinks and grilled food, the mood can be lifted further with some music in the background.
With so many speakers on the market it can be difficult to choose which device will best fit each person's needs. For those who are looking for a device that won't break the bank but will still deliver quality sound, one of Amazon's top picks may be the right choice.
The RIENOK Bluetooth Speaker normally retails for £32.99 and comes in a range of colours - blue, grey and pink. However, Amazon has made this compact device slightly more affordable as the black edition is currently selling for £29.99.
Equipped with 30W high power full frequency drivers, the wireless bluetooth speaker also comes with an advanced digital processor to create a high-fidelity sound system. If the sound quality still isn't as rich as some people prefer, there is also an extra bass button to provide enhanced sound.
Shoppers will also be able to continue their outdoor party late into the night - as long as they don't annoy the neighbours - because the speaker is able to provide up to 30 hours of playtime per charge. However, Amazon does note that this will vary depending on volume, lighting and music type.
If providing background tunes wasn't enough, this bluetooth speaker also comes with RGB lights that will change with the music. Additionally, the speaker is IPX7 waterproof so it can be fully immersed in a metre of water and still keep on working.
Perfect for outdoor fun, the speaker is also said to be resistant to rain, dust, snow, mud and any accidental spills. Whether used at home or while travelling, this portable speaker will become an essential companion for a variety of occasions.
However, for those who are willing to splash a bit more cash on a bigger brand, Amazon is also selling the Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Bluetooth Speaker (2nd Gen) for £149. Available in black, grey, green and blue, this speaker can connect to multiple devices at once even if they are nine metres away.
Alternatively, Argos has chopped £10 off the price of the JBL Flip Essential 2 Portable Waterproof Speaker, which currently has a five-star rating. While now only £79.99, this waterproof device can only provide up to 10 hours of playtime.
However, the great value of the RIENOK Bluetooth Speaker has seen shoppers snapping it up. It has been bought more than 2,000 times in the last month and boasts a 4.6-star rating from almost 30,000 reviews.
One delighted shopper said: "I can't believe how good this little Bluetooth speaker is. It's sturdy, a nice design and comes with a C charger cable, AUX cable and a lanyard, which is basically a black shoelace.
"Sound quality and volume are much better and louder than I expected. It is so easy to use. You turn it on, turn your phone's Bluetooth on, select the speaker and Pair! That's it! Highly recommend."
Another added: "I was extremely surprised by the sound quality of this speaker! The bass is pretty rich, great build quality and looks great!
"I'm usually really fussy when it comes to to sound quality leading me to only really buy Bose in the past, but I really just needed something for when I was working on cars or buses so I wasn't going to spend a fortune on anything, so I'd thought I'd give this a try and I'm really happy I did."
However, one shopper experienced a slight issue despite praising the speaker. They wrote: "This is my second purchase of this speaker, my first one is not 12 months old and has blown up ....but the sound out of this speaker is great and is a lovely portable speaker, hopefully this one will last more then 12 months."
Another three-star reviewer wasn't as impressed: "Honestly, it's ok. Nothing amazing. Sound is adequate but nothing outstanding. Seems durable and looks smart. Battery length is good. Wouldn't recommend it to my friends though."
On the flip side, one five-star reviewer has bought multiple speakers. They said: "I bought two and they synchronise easily, sounding great and very simple to use. They are pretty waterproof as well. Highly recommended."
A further shopper also commented: "Have a couple of these. Used one for work (roofer) now for over two years and honestly so good. Been out in all weather, been dropped loads of times. Robust and sound quality great!"

Amazon data centres to consume ‘as much electricity to power Burnley'
A complex of huge data centres being built by Amazon in Britain will consume as much electricity needed to power a town the size of Burnley, campaigners have claimed. The proposed data centres, near Houghton Regis in Bedfordshire, are projected to consume around 114.8 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity a year. This equivalent to the power consumed by more than 42,500 UK households, according to researchers at Global Action Plan, which is campaigning against the development. It exceeds the number of homes in Burnley, which stood at 41,955 after the most recent Census in 2021. Planning documents show the two data centres in the development will include 42 back-up diesel generators, each around 25 metres tall, that need to be fired up fortnightly to check they are working. It is estimated this will produce the same emissions as 1,079 homes heated by gas. The plans were lodged with Central Bedfordshire Council by Colliers Properties, a known partner of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the retail giant's cloud computing division. The documents name Amazon Data Services UK as the site's eventual operator. Known as Linmere Island, the project would sit on an empty 22-acre greenfield site. While the plans also include 140 solar panels, it is not clear how much power they will supply to the data centres.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag reduced from £35 to £13
Amazon is offering the Bluetooth tracker that's the 'perfect travel companion' Bluetooth trackers are a must-have travel companion, letting users keep an eye on exactly where their luggage, handbag and even their keys are. Amazon has slashed the price of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2, offering a fabulous 62% discount in time for shoppers heading off on their summer holidays. The gadget usually costs £34.99 and can now be purchased from the online giant for £13.20. This is the cheapest price around, with the SmartTag2 costing £20.40 when bought directly from Samsung, while Argos is selling it for £23.99. The tracker can be popped inside a handbag or clipped on to a suitcase, allowing travellers to follow their belongings via the app. It's worth noting, however, that the gadget is only compatible with Samsung Galaxy devices. The SmartTag2 offers up to 500 days of battery, with the handy Power Saving mode extending its lifespan by up to 40%. The device is built to withstand dust and water, making it a robust travel companion. If travellers cannot find their belongings, the tracker's Search Nearby feature provides intuitive step-by-step instructions via Compass View. There's also the Ring Your Tag function that makes the gadget audibly signal its whereabouts to help locate it quickly. If the item still cannot be located, fear not, as the SmartTag2 has a convenient Lost Mode. When this is activated, the Near Field Communication displays its owner's registered contact information on the smartphone of whoever finds it. The Apple AirTag is a similar tracking device for iPhone users. Amazon is currently offering a single tracker on sale for £28, while a four-pack costs £92. Currys is selling the CHIPOLO Bluetooth Item Finder on sale for £11.99. This gadget is compatible with both iOS and Android smartphones. Over 7,300 Amazon shoppers have reviewed the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 to date, awarding it an overall score of 4.3 out of five. One impressed buyer wrote: "Outstanding simple piece of tech, effective and does exactly what it says on the tin… I use these on my keys, in my wallet and even in my car. Easy to locate using the app and an absolute lifesaver in the early morning panics of 'where are the keys?' "Helps add peace of mind for security and is very small to hide. Also helps locate where you left your car when parking. Overall, this is a fantastic piece of kit." Unfortunately one buyer was disappointed with the tracker, as they didn't realise it was only compatible with Samsung devices. They explained: "Never read anywhere this was only good for Galaxy phones. Unfortunately I bought it a few months ago in advance of a holiday, so I only just found it won't work with my Google Pixel phone even though it operates on Android." Someone else, however, is thrilled with the SmartTag2. They commented: "Perfect little tracker to keep an eye on belongings. I have one in my vehicle and also use one on my cat's collar. Battery life is also quite surprising. Location history etc. Fairly accurate, too."
