The Sony ULT Field 1 has a lot going for it, especially for users who want two distinct sound profiles - one bass-boosted and one more natural - alongside a very healthy stable of features and a reassuringly sturdy Sony build. As an alternative to the JBL Flip 6, it makes a good degree of sense when the price is right.

Sonos Roamwas £179now £136 at Amazon (save £43)Lowest price on black finish

Sonos Roam was £179 now £136 at Amazon (save £43)
Sonos is known for its attractive, full-sounding speakers, and while the Sonos Roam doesn't quite hit the heights reached by the likes of the Era 100 and 300 smart speakers, it's still a nicely made, robust unit full of musical muscle. The Roam 2 is out, but considering that the second-gen unit doesn't make many sonic improvements and costs a good deal more, the original is the one to go for when prices drop.

Sonos Era 100was £249now £225 at Amazon (save £27) Five starsLowest price on white finish

Sonos Era 100 was £249 now £225 at Amazon (save £27) The Era 300's smaller sibling isn't much less impressive. It's still a wonderful speaker that gives a great deal of performance from a relatively small unit, and as a Sonos product, mega deals aren't always forthcoming, so any drop in price on the Era 100 should be snapped up sharpish.

Being a Bluetooth speaker is just one of the many, many things the superb Audio Pro C20 can do. Wireless streaming, AirPlay 2, a built-in phono stage, HDMI connectivity, Google Cast, optical, RCA line in, a sub out, the list just goes on and on. Oh, and it sounds resplendent, too.

Ultimate Ears Epicboom was £330 now £282 at Amazon (save £48)

With its powerful, broad sound complimented by a very healthy feature set and an attractive, robust build, you're certainly getting a lot of speaker for your money.
