Want to get some and am considering either Beats Pill, Jambox mini or Bose Soundbox mini. All about the same price. Anyone got any experience of any of them, any recommendations?
Sonos is the best, Bose is generally bought by people who buy a brand without regard for value, Beats are generally bought by absolute cretins.
I have a Phillips one and its pretty good. Sonos if you have a good budget if I were you, otherwise there are some quite good reasonably priced ones from Phillips that have Airplay
Recently brought the Bose Soundlink Mini and find it an excellent little speaker... Connects up to my phone really quick and the quality is amazing... Quite heavy though because of the Battery (which I think only lasts 7-hrs) and the Charger would be quite a nuisance for travelling as its a cradle that the Speaker sits on.
Just looking for some quality wireless speakers for use around the house, in the garden, on holiday etc. Seems like Bose will be the best bet. Thanks for the input chaps.

For home use though... 10/10!!
From what I have read on-line you can charge directly into the back of the speaker as well and don't need to lug the charger around. Is this not the case in reality?
Sonos is a great bit of kit. You can get a Sonos app on the iPad/iPhone that links with the box thing so with a click of a button on your sofa you can have different music playing out of the ceiling in the kitchen/lounge/bedroom/playroom etc ... absolutely class!
Just bought my first Sonos speakers. Absolutely and utterly brilliant!
It's a Play:1, which I bought to "test the water". I now intend to get a Connect:Amp to power two pairs of in-ceilings in the kitchen, another one for a pair in the en suite bathroom and another one for a pair outside. I am also tempted by the Playbar...
Are all the artists and DJs who use Beats 'cretins' then? Actually fair play they probably are. But would radio stations, companies, sportsman etc all use Beats just because of the name if the sound quality is that bad?
In case that wasn't clear, I don't mean famous people = always right, must follow like sheep etc etc. But lately every time I see a radio station interview or someone DJing, they invariably have Beats. Would people working and living music and sound really use them if they were that bad?

You will not get anything else better than the below for the price and it comes in Charlton red.

If you want a big sound you really do these http://www.audioaffair.co.uk/acapella-spharon-excalibur-speakers-pair.
They are not wireless but they are quite good.
Bose or Sonos if you can stretch the budgie a bit.
£600 is a bit toppy but it's a good bit of kit. Looks great too.
