Denon DSB-250BT Portable Premium Bluetooth Speaker
  • This delivers great range, quality and power.
  • This speaker works well, pairs very easily and although the buttons are the easiest to use.
  • The controls aren't great. They are neither touch nor traditional buttons.

  • Media control is very good feature for me.
  • Enough sound to fill a room or a home! Buttons has a good control!
