Majority D40X Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers

I usually play all my music off of my laptop and my partner inevitably gets frustrated at the ‘tinny’ sound it produces (fair complaint I suppose. The laptop is a few years old but it doesn’t bother me much personally!) and so I have to go and plug in the portable speakers. They’re better, but not great and trying to find a space to put them if I’m still working on my laptop without causing strangulation/tripping and the wholesale destruction this usually entails is a mission in and of itself…

The fact that these are Bluetooth (5.3) then, takes away the potentially disastrous outcome of keeping my partner happy as well as actually sounding good! They have their own remote control as well as manual controls on the speakers themselves and you can adjust the bass, treble and volume quite easily (volume is only on the remote though). Now, normally you would probably control that from whatever source you’re playing the tunes on so why have it on the speakers? Well, as well as Bluetooth, there is also a Micro SD card slot, USB port, Aux port and optical port too! So, you can near enough connect any device, including memory sticks up to these speakers and do everything you would expect to be able to do on most music devices these days. I love the simple lay-out of the remote too with very obvious buttons to adjust the bass and treble – normally a difficult to execute feature!

As far as the sound quality itself goes, the speaker cones are made out of Kevlar rather than plastic and so produce a much livelier sound than you would expect (even my tone-deaf ears have to acknowledge this) which is quite pleasing, especially given their relatively small size and, as their name implies, they take up about the same dimensions as a hardback book – albeit thicker than most.
