With a wide variety of new brands for portable Bluetooth speakers available at a range of different prices, we at Gimmie believe you should be able to play the music you love with the features you need, without the hefty price tag.

JBL

Our JBL speakers include the FLIP 5, the Boombox 2 and the Partybox range as well.

JBL is a great brand for quality audio whilst you’re listening to your favourite songs. To own some of the most popular media streaming players at a great price, you’re in the right place!

LG

The LG speakers we have at Gimmie are quite popular, specifically the Xboom Go range.

With a reliable battery life for such a small speaker, its capacity to play music with a good level of sound quality is incredibly impressive and one of the best deals available in our stores.

Sony

Sony speakers from the XB range come with various high-end features, including Google Assistant built-in and wireless phone charging in others.

For powerful sound that challenges even Bose Soundlink audio quality, choose Sony – their technology is some of the most advanced on the market right now.

Ultimate Ears

The brand Ultimate Ears is a little less heard of, but their sound is phenomenal.

With the BOOM, WonderBOOM and MegaBOOM ranges, your music has never sounded so good! A great partner for tablets, computers and your TV, too, this brand really lives up to its name.

Not only are bluetooth speakers slowly becoming popular office supplies due to their usefulness, but their multi-use functions make them great for all areas of work – and play!

They’re great for conference calls, allowing you to hear everyone clearly whilst working out home without shelling out for expensive speakers. The ability to easily connect to them also means they’re great for parties, allowing your guest to easily connect and play their own music!

Do Bluetooth speakers have to be plugged in?

Bluetooth technology works wirelessly, so you wouldn’t have to plug in your portable speaker.

However, some products accept multi-device compatibility, meaning that you can connect your speakers to maximise volume and sound. In this case, you may have to connect them via cables, but you don’t have to use a cable to use a single speaker alone.

How do I charge my Bluetooth speakers?

Depending on the speaker, there are multiple ways you could charge your product. Some of the more high-end products allow wireless charging simply by placing it on a compatible pad.

However, most products still use a USB cable for charging.

Can I use my Bluetooth speaker while charging?

Most speakers allow you to still use the Bluetooth function while charging, but you may have to check your specific device.

What devices would connect with the speaker?

A variety of technological accessories work with Bluetooth speakers, from TVs and smartphones to PCs and consoles, even cameras and tablets. You can check the full list of compatibilities that your speaker has by reading the information it comes with or just through a quick Google search.

If you’re having any issues getting your specified device to connect with the speaker, drop by our customer support page, and we’ll see how we can help.

How far away can I be from a Bluetooth speaker for it still to work?

This can sometimes vary depending on the surroundings or environment (Bluetooth doesn’t like interference!) and the charge level of both devices.

On average, you can be about thirty feet or ten metres away from the speaker for your music to still transmit.
