on Mercari with a photo, description, and price. Once a buyer makes a
purchase, you can ship it using a prepaid and pre-addressed envelope,
courtesy of Mercari. After your customer receives the package, they rate
the purchase and issue payment. Mercari takes 10 percent of each sale
as its fee, but that's still lower than the standard 20 percent that
most of Mercari's competitors take.

Bluetooth speakers come in all different shapes
and sizes, from larger options that have the power to fill your whole
living room to smaller portables that are great for taking to picnics or
moving from room-to-room.
Finding the right speaker for you and
your needs is no easy task, but don't worry, we have you covered. We've
rounded up our pick of the best portable speakers currently available to
buy. You'll find a mix of styles, power, sizes and budgets, all of
which have been reviewed in full by us here at Pocket-Lint.
Whether
you're hoping to start investing in a multi-room system, just want a
medium-sized speaker or you're looking for a portable Bluetooth one,
here are what we consider to be the best Bluetooth speakers, in no
particular order.
It's small, but the B&O BeoPlay A1's big sound makes it
standout in the portable Bluetooth speaker market. We may have baulked
at its £199 price tag at first, but given how good it sounds, we think
it's worth every penny.
Sure, there's no Wi-Fi, AirPlay,
waterproofing or 360-degree design like some of its competitors, but the
solid battery, build quality, extra drive of bass and sheer audio
clarity give this speaker the upper hand when it comes to sound quality.
The BeoPlay A1 is well worth saving up for.
Bowers & Wilkins was right to wait for CSR's aptX
technology to improve wireless audio transmission over Bluetooth before
debuting its first portable speaker. It's an excellent example of style
and substance that the brand can be proud of.
Apart from the fact
the price will be out of reach for some, the only other downside is not
so much of Bowers & Wilkins making, but of aptX's device
integration. Unless you have a compatible smartphone handset, you won't
get the benefit of the best-possible CD-quality audio, assuming your
source files are up to scratch. That said, even if not, the T7 still
sounds excellent.
Denon has refreshed the Envaya brand for 2017, replacing
both the full-size and Mini versions, as well as adding a new Pocket
model. It's the new, full-size Envaya that makes our list here, due to
its lovely looks and much-improved sound.
There's still no
Wi-Fi/Airplay connectivity, but there is aptX Bluetooth for a
higher-quality connection to mobile devices and an IPX7 waterproof
rating, so it'll happily accompany you by the poolside.
The Libratone Zipp is a total rework of its 2012 original.
The new quirky zip-up design is fun, while the physical size - which
perhaps makes it a bit too large to cart around outside of the house -
lends well to stomping bass and audio output considering its £219 price
point.
That's the rub of it really: for only about £50 more than
many smaller portable competitors, the Zipp gives an extra wallop of
sound. If you're after an at-home portable speaker then Libratone,
whether you know the name or not, seems to have that corner of the
market neatly zipped-up here.
The UE Boom 2 takes one of our favourite portable Bluetooth
speakers, the original UE Boom, and makes it even better for round two.
Full-on waterproofing and sharper sound match with a great looking
cylindrical design - but it's more remake than sequel.
If you're
looking for portable, premium sound wherever you are, then the UE Boom 2
hits the nail on the head. Have reasonable expectations for bass
delivery and it's one seriously hot Bluetooth speaker.
There are boat loads of portable Bluetooth speaker options
but the UE Megaboom is a standout product; one only really limited by
the high price point and less balanced omni-directional sound output
than the smaller UE Boom model, which has now been succeeded by the Boom
2.
Even the high price can't muddy the raft of good points that
see it swim along (literally if you dunk it in the bath, thanks to
waterproofing) however: this bass-booming cylinder sounds great, looks
great, and is tough enough to tackle music in the office, for that
summer picnic or festival, or whatever else you happen to throw at it.
It's Bluetooth speaker bliss.
If you want to invest in UE's range of portable Bluetooth
speakers, but want something smaller than the Boom 2 or Megaboom, the
Wonderboom is the boom for you. It's palm-sized, and like other speakers
in the range, is protected against knocks, bumps, drops and splashes
thanks to its rubberised casing. It can float too, so you can
comfortably take it in the pool with you.
And when you turn it on,
prepare yourself for an explosion of sound that belies its size. It can
tackle all genres of music with aplomb, and will add life to any social
scenario.
The B&O Beolit 15 is a different prospect to
most Bluetooth speakers of this size (230 x 189 x 135mm), in that it's
portable. With a battery that lasts up to 24-hours that all-day picnic
could turn into an all-night party. Though whether you'll really want to
lug all 2.7kgs of it around, we're less convinced.
Where the
Beolit 15 really delivers is in audio quality: it's loud, clear and
delivers booming bass with crisp high-end that gives it as much pop as
its champagne colour scheme. With so many other stay-at-home Bluetooth
speakers available for less cash however, and with just as good sound
delivery, the case for the Beolit is its portability.
The B&O Beolit 17 was introduced to replace the Beolit
15 (although you can still buy the latter) and arrives with the exact
same measurements. However the design of the speaker has been refreshed
to an excellent degree and we think its the more handsome of the two.
Inside
it's all change too and the drivers have been updated to produce an
even better sound than ever. The soundfield is larger and more detailed
than its predecessor and the volume it can go to is nothing short of
astounding.
The thing about the Devialet Gold Phantom is that for most
people, the slightly more affordable and lower-spec models in range will
make better sense. And we think the silver and white finishes actually
look better than the Gold's coppery-gold side panelling. The setup is
laborious too.
Once settled in though, the futuristic-looking
Phantom is a simply stunning speaker experience - for both the ears and
the eyes. Living with a pair has made us want to keep them forever. At
their best, a pair of Gold Phantom speakers delivers that rare, emotive
kind of music reproduction. It's like liquid, audible gold... but about
as expensive too.
Those with picky ears can poke holes in the Harman Kardon
Go + Play, but it is one of the few new, sub-£250 wireless speakers to
offer both the clout of a main lounge speaker and real portability.
Despite
being woefully lacking in the supplementary tech elements many of
today’s speakers offer, it's still a solid buy that comes across as fun
and vital in use. Not as some sort of tech relic.
Sure, we'd not call the Qb a budget speaker by any means,
but its £595 price point is about as low as we thought we'd ever see
from the Naim, um, name. If you're looking for high-quality audio at a
smaller size and price compared to the original Mu-so then the Qb
certainly makes a strong impression.
In terms of aesthetics and
design it's second-to-none, with audio as cutting as those stand-out
industrial looks. For a speaker so square the Qb is an all-round
success.
The Play:1 is a great little speaker than has so much
potential beyond the speaker itself that we can't recommend it enough as
a starting place to embrace the Sonos system. It doesn't sound as good
as the Play:3 but then this is a different proposition. This is about
getting the most out of your digital streaming music service without
spending a fortune in doing so.
Buy someone one of these and
they'll be going back a couple of weeks later to set up another one in
another room. Expect music in your house to multiply very quickly and
for good reason: the Sonos Play:1 is great.
Bowers & Wilkins' Zeppelin range over the years has
always impressed where it most matters – with the music playback
performance. The British company is renowned for putting aside fancy
gimmicks and focusing on the audio experience foremost.
The sleek
lines and iconic shape make it stand-out in any home or office
environment, while the simplicity of use ensures it fits into rather
than dominates your entertainment needs. If you are looking to add a
premium wireless speaker into your life, the B&W Zeppelin Wireless
is the one you seek. Just look at it.
If you're looking to invest in a good value multi-room audio
system that can handle virtually all streaming services and file types –
including the very best in Hi-Res lossless audio – you'll not find much
better than the updated Denon Heos HS2.
The extensive choice of
wireless speakers and amplifiers means you can build a complete
multi-room system to suit the size of your home and budget, while the
excellent Heos 7 HS2 offers enough performance and style to stand alone
and impress in most living rooms. At the drop-down price of £380 the
Heos 7 HS2 is a bargain, especially given the sound quality is on a par
with the more expensive Sonos Play:5.
The Naim Mu-so is one seriously standout wireless speaker.
Sure, its £895 price tag is going to deter its fullest possible
audience, but the Mu-so is so good it's worth saving up for. The
industrial design aesthetic mirrors some of Naim's higher-end Hi-Fi
products and sound is sonically sensational whatever tracks you happen
to throw at it.
It's a wonder why it took Naim so many years to
create a wireless speaker, because the Mu-so is a stormer, as is the
Mu-so Qb, its smaller and newer sibling. The larger Mu-so is one
great-looking, great-sounding product with plenty of input sources and a
decent app to boot. Hear it and believe: the Mu-so is the new-wave
Hi-Fi for the 21st century.
Sonos has a fantastic track record in delivering great
speakers - and the 2015 Play:5 sets yet another precedent. It has a
subtle yet sophisticated design that we love, offers a brilliant app to
connect to streaming services and all your music, among other great
features such as capacitive touch controls.
More importantly
however, the sound it delivers is superb, especially with Trueplay
software tuning. Yes it's slightly bass biased and there's no Hi-Res
support but the Play:5 is all-round fantastic. Sonos has competition
nipping at its heels left, right and centre, but the Play:5 shows what
over a decade of experience can deliver. It's the ideal way to start a
Sonos multi-room system, or add a badass centre piece to an existing
one.
The Bose SoundLink Revolve is a classy, elegant looking
speaker, although we wouldn't expect anything less from Bose. The sound,
like the design, is just as you'd expect: high-quality and
well-balanced. Don't let its small stature fool you, the SoundLink
Revolve is capable of filling even the most generously-sized rooms and
an optional battery base means you can make the Revolve fully portable.
The Sonos PlayBase is not only one of the best TV
sound-enhancing options out there, but being a Sonos product, doubles up
as a fantastic wireless speaker. It's primarily designed for use with
movies and TV shows, but at its heart it's still Sonos, so you can
connect via Wi-Fi and stream music from all manner of sources.
It's
great looking too, with a gorgeously rounded body that exudes premium
and luxury. Plus, the sound you get from it is absolutely phenomenal,
whether you're using it for movies or music, something that not all
soundbases can claim to do.
The Sony SRS-XB40 Bluetooth speaker is a lot of fun. It's
standout feature is an illuminated light ring around the speaker grille
that can be a strobe light at one moment and a chilled, relaxing hue the
next. It combines nicely with the sheer amount of bass the XB40 offers,
with "Extra Bass" in the name, what else would you expect?
While
it's not the absolute cleanest sound ever, especially compared to some
others in this list, it can go incredibly loud and remained composed
while doing so. It's portability and tough, rugged water-resistant body
only add to its appeal.
The V-Moda Remix offers something many other speakers don't
and that's a fully customisable build at the order stage. V-Moda offers
plenty of different options so you can create a speaker well-suited to
your tastes. Fortunately it's not all just a gimmick, as the Remix
sounds good too. It doesn't have the benefit of 360-degree sound, but
the direct profile it produces is loud and clear.
V-Moda has
added other features such as a headphone amplifier and a long-lasting
10-hour battery life into the mix too, to make it a really versatile
speaker.
