Frequently asked questions

What is the best budget Bluetooth speaker?

The Anker Soundcore range is a long-standing favourite, offering surprisingly full sound, long battery life and solid water resistance for well under thirty pounds. For casual listening in the kitchen, garden or on holiday, it delivers far more than its price suggests.

Do expensive audio cables sound better?

For standard digital and aux connections, no. A good-quality optical or 3.5mm cable from a reputable brand carries the same signal as a pricey one, so there is no sound benefit to overspending. Pay only for the correct type, length and a durable braided build.

Optical or aux cable for my setup?

Use an optical (TOSLINK) cable to carry digital audio between a TV and soundbar or amp for the best quality. Use a 3.5mm aux cable for simple analogue connections, like plugging a phone into older speakers or a car. Check which ports your devices actually have first.
