Picked one of these up in my local Aldi this morning and for the price it sounds amazing looks very similar to the Marshall Acton which sells for around £160 and i wouldnt be suprised if it isnt a rebadged one of these.
Been useing the device for the last hour and apart from the fantastic build quality it offers a very warm natural sound compared to similarly priced speakers.
Not portable as its mains powered but a very nice tabletop solution for the kitchen, bedroom or small flat.
For powerful audio and excellent clarity, this Wireless Amp Speaker could be the perfect solution. Featuring a smart retro design, 20W of audio output, a subwoofer for powerful bass and Bluetooth 4.0 capacity, this speaker delivers high-quality sound.

Bought one about a week ago, the sound quality doesn't cut it for me so returned for a refund today. (Comparing to Libratone zipp the sound feels muddy, especially the vocals - although it's probably important to keep the price difference in mind) On the other hand returning to Aldi was very easy, overall a good experience. If someone is looking for an inexpensive bluetooth speaker, this might be a good option, but if you care about the sound quality - look elsewhere.

Ordered 2. Both arrived today and must say although they sound good the build quality is poor. Glue peeling where the leather seams are..no level markers on the bass treble and volume knobs..front grill mesh lifting in some areas. Returning for a refund.

How odd, maybe the quality control is poor, mine had none of these issues and the knobs did have markers on them, no peeling etc I must have got a good one! :smiley:

Just purchased one of these and its going back later. Tried with my Sony Tv using Aux and Galaxy 7 edge phone on bluetooth and very disappointed with both. Also seems a little pointless to have bluetooth but only connect to the mains. Have a Philips docking station speaker currently set up, not bluetooth so the reason for buying this, the philips sounds much better, think i paid a similar price. Also dont like tat if you use the Aux it is on the top so on view at all times. Easy to set up bluetooth and may be good enough for some people but i feel my £30 could be spent better elsewhere.

How good this can be sound wise? Would someone be able to advise how this compares with the JBL Flip from the other deal?

I would get the JBL Flip 3, which is rechargeable too (this one isn't) so more portable.
