Android Blue Tooth Speakers
Android Blue Tooth Speakers
by split personality » Wed Mar 11, 2015 10:35 pm
Anyone got any recommendations of a good Bluetooth speaker (not big) that will sit in the cab, either attached to the dash or parcel shelf. Want something like that sounds good, looks cool and will run from an android phone. I have seen a cool looking skull shaped one by Jarre but don't know if it will work. Think it would look neat on the dash next to my tacho. Thought and pictures please.

Jambox.
I've seen one sat on a split dash and it looked good. Sound pretty impressive for what they are too.

I think MarkP had a portable speaker in Gerry, maybe a Bose one ?
you'll find his epic rebuild thread in rides and projects "my 1st midlife crisis" (speaker is quite a recent addition so near the end of the thread - you'll see what i mean )

I went into costco the other day and saw a bose unit that was quite retro looking, can't remember the model of it but it had a brown leather wraparound ipad style cover over it. Sound blew me away for such a small item, cost was £199 seems pricey, but it's very good quality and on my "I'd like one of those" lists!

HMDX JAM great sound for what they cost
yes there are better sounding items at 10 times the price
but may not be worth it in a moving splitty.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I eventually found this one by Voombox. The Voombox ongo. Picked it up at Maplins for £50. Sound quality is really good for the size and it even comes with a mount which screws into the base, this allows it to be mounted on the rail of the dash.

That looks quite good. Is it loud enough as I don't thing the Bose mini one is quite loud enough on the motorway with road noise, wind noise etc. also can you connect things via a 3.5mm jack/aux lead as well (I have a rather old iPod classic )
Cheers, Lee.
