Sony SRS-XV800
Sony.co.uk, £599
With a price tag of £599, Sony's high-tech SRS-XV800 wireless party speaker is a fair bit more expensive than most portable Bluetooth speakers on the market. However, for paying all those extra pounds, you get an unquestionably premium and multipurpose device that even keen audiophiles are unlikely to find fault in.
Built for large house parties rather than quaint picnics, it's a speaker capable of playing crisp and clear music in a plethorahigh volumes. Plus, with 25 hours of battery life, it can keep the party going literally all day long (don't blame us for your official noise complaint).
