The Aether Cone is a high end WiFi and Bluetooth speaker system which lets you play music from smartphones, tablets, laptops and more using Bluetooth and WiFi airplay. With its rechargeable battery you can take it anywhere as well – room to room or out and about with you. You’ll get about 8 hours of music from a single charge, impressive!
£300 TO £39? HOW?
When the Cone was originally released a few years ago it retailed for £300. Aether, the parent brand, made a deal with streaming service RDIO for exclusivity on the device, promising features like voice command and intelligent playlists. Unfortunately, in November 2015, RDIO closed its doors and streaming service shut down. Due to the deal with RDIO, Aether was also forced to close, but not before giving the Cone a final update, changing its functionality and exclusive RDIO playback to work as a Bluetooth and WiFi Airplay speaker and enabling Spotify Connect.
We have bought all remaining stock of the Cone and slashed the price from £300 to just £39, meaning you literally will not be able to find a speaker of this quality or sound for anything near this price. Plus it’s exclusive to us so you won’t find the cone at this price anywhere else.

I don't know about you?, but ...
No.1, £40 for 1 Bluetooth Speaker, is NOT exactly what I'd call cheap???.
No.2, ONLY just under 1.5 weeks ago I came across some 'generic' Bluetooth Speakers at Aldi's for only £25?, and some similarly 'generic' Bluetooth Radio/Speaker for just £10 more!, eg. £35? (both options cheaper than the above ... )
No.3, I've never heard of this Brand also?(so who's to say that this is any better than the 'generic' one's I've mentioned above anyway?).
Your idea of cheap is only relative to your own personal perceptive ideology?, and that's it .....
(Ask someone else the same thing, and they'd blatantly tell you till they're blue in the face, that even at £40, it's still expensive?!, so ..... perception again?, lol). :-)

Word of warning. Connectivity is very patchy. Bluetooth dosn't work with some devices, sometimes it works initially and than it stops forever. Airplay is better but not without problems. Looks and sounds brilliant but it might be an expensive book stop when it stops connecting to your device.
