This tiny speaker pumps out surprisingly big sound for something that fits in the palm of your hand. It's waterproof and dustproof so it can handle the work site, the beach, the shower, or being tossed in an esky without missing a beat. You get up to 7 hours of playtime with an extra 2 hours if you switch on Playtime Boost mode, which is enough to get through a full day on site or a long afternoon in the backyard. It connects via Bluetooth and you can pair multiple speakers together for bigger sound when one isn't enough. Over 18,000 reviews with a near perfect 5-star rating on Amazon, which is pretty hard to argue with. The clip-on design means you can attach it to a belt loop, bag strap, or hang it from scaffolding. A brilliant gift for tradies who want tunes on site, teenagers, gym goers, or basically anyone who likes music and leaving the house.
