Thanks all for what you shared.

I have this bluetooth speaker from Amazon for a week now so I think I better give an update:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Veho-VSS-006...sr=1-1-catcorr

The speaker is surprisingly small. 40mm diameter, 50mm high. But it is loud. The sound quality will probably disappoint those who are used to Bose or other equivalent high-priced speakers because it gets somewhat tinny at high volumes. But for the price (and the fact that it is bluetooth) and since I only use it at the office when I have to keep myself awake when pulling off all-nighters, I'm quite satisfied with it. I initially had a problem pairing it with the eDGe but had no trouble it being recognised. The instructions provided with the unit are very sparse but I think you have to charge the speaker for the full 4 hours (as instructed) before you attempt to pair it with the eDGe. After the first day, I did not anymore have trouble with it. The 10-meter range is quite spot on since I tried carrying it out of the office into the hallway and it's still going strong within that range.

The Amazon uk page does not contain customer reviews but the US page does, in case anyone is interested.
