    Has this price come up since? On the lookout for something like this to replace loads of crappy small ones. Not such a bargain at £40 though. I set up a camelcamelcamel alert but that doesn't pick up daily deals like this one

    Read the first post and you'll seee why its a bargain at even £40.

    I agree, just the bargain Hunter in me, I'd hate to pay the £40 and the it drop back to £24! Might leave the alert for a week or two and see if it moves

    noticing some definite distortion at low volumes on mine; I normally use it fairly loud but it's still noticeably distorted as songs fade out. Has anyone returned one of these - who did you go through, Amazon or Anker?

    I went through Anker, they usually send out a replacement and let you keep the old one.

    Looking to get one of these is it worth waiting for the price to come down or will it?

    There's a fairly highly rated Sony speaker reduced on Amazon at present if you are anxious to get a speaker sharpish. £34.50

    Would this speaker or the original be practical for playing music through spotify for a home gym??

    Yes.

    Wait until 5 pm today (Sunday) and it will be a Deal of the Day....

    They're right.
    But I think there's no way to show you a direct link until the price changes at 5pm.

    Click on "Today's deals" near the top of Amazon.co.uk homepage, then filter them down to "Electronics & photos" by ticking the box in the panel to the left. Scroll down through them, it's about 36 items down the list at time I am posting.

    There's £5 off this speaker at the moment down to £34, was a little bit cheaper last month too.

    I do think it's quite cheeky on Amazons part to say it's currently 43% off because they only ever raise it to a maximum price for a couple of days a year and the rest of the time it's on "sale"

    Thanks for the heads up..
    Bit dearer than the original BA, and I'm sure it will drop lower at some stage, but based on the reviews, I reckon it still qualifies as a bargain at £33.90

    Thanks for the heads up.

    I paid £40 for it last week.

    I called them and they will happily refund the difference.

    I am really happy with the sound, it blows my old ue boombox I got on a previous BA out of the water.

    Highly recommended.

    My advice : don't mither over ~<Eur10 : go get this amazing piece of kit.

    The sound, build, battery life, & overall quality from its 2 x 10w speakers is absolutely incredible, when you think what they charge for a Sonos.

    Anyone know how it will compare to the below

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Denon-Portable-Premium-Bluetooth-Speaker/dp/B00NBXJ9NW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462133543&sr=8-1&keywords=denon+envaya+mini

    I am looking for a reasonable good speaker and don't want to pay a premium for the likes of the Bose Soundlink mini

    Mine has the distortion at low volumes problem. Contacted Anker and customer service was great. Sent me out a replacement and told me to keep/ throw the old one out. Unfortunately the replacement has the same issues too.

    Great customer service but quality control seems an issue with the speaker.

    Not sure about the sound quality of any of these but please don't base your purchase decision on advertised watts as it has nothing to do with sound quality. You need to listen the two to see which is better. And as you normally can't you'll need to read reviews to decide.

    Ordered one and recieved it today. Nice speaker to look at. Sound is good for ~eur 50 ( I didn't get it on sale). It seems to struggle at very low levels but is good at mid range levels although I would like a little more bass. Build looks to be good n solid. It's quite heavy so if you are bring a laptop/iPad/ plugs etc, it will add to the weight of your bag. It goes without saying that the sound quality at certain levels (low and high) won't compare to the Bose Soundlink but it's a quarter of the price and definitely more bang for your buck. Hope that helps people who are looking

    Anyone who received theirs recently got any feedback?

    Hoping I'm not one of those affected by the distortion issue..

    Just log in to your Amazon account, find your order for it and take it from thre. It will direct to direct contact with Anker.
