The central main controls aren’t backlit and are only slightly recessed so a little difficult to see or feel in the dark. The top of the speaker has the rubberised buttons to control the speaker. The sides of the speaker house the passive radiators and around the back there’s a rubber flap revealing the USB-C charging port, a USB-A port to charge your tech and a 3.5mm audio-in port for a wired connection – something missing on the Motion Boom.

Its price varies so please check the links below this article for accurate pricing, but currently it’s around £150 or $160, a fair bit cheaper than probably its closest rival, the popular JBL Xtreme 3.
