We choose these speakers the same way we’d pick kit for our own team: checking the power, the charging, and the print area. We only put forward names that we know will behave properly once they’ve been handed out.
- Power that matches the setting: We choose 3W-10W options so the speaker output actually matches where you’ll use it. Low-power units can get ignored in busy rooms once people realise they can’t hear them. This lets you order for a desk, a meeting room, or an outdoor stand without guessing.
- Realistic playback times: Our selection sticks to stated playback ranges (often ~2-4.5 hours on compact units) so you’re not buying on vague “all day” claims that fall over after the first charge. That means when you plan a giveaway or welcome pack, you can set expectations and avoid desk-drawer rejects.
- Fewer cable headaches: We push USB-C charging on multiple models (and only drop to Micro USB when budget forces it) because the wrong lead is one of the quickest ways a speaker stops getting used. This keeps your recipients pairing and charging without chasing a specific cable.
- Logo space that works: Our team picks units with defined print areas and branding methods like 1-colour print, full colour print, and engraving. Unclear panels lead to cramped artwork and off-centre prints, so we ensure you get a clean logo read without having to redesign your brand to fit the product.
- Repeatable proof-to-print: Our proofing process is so very tight, focusing on consistent branding positions across the range. We want your approved artwork to line up the same way across the full order, not just “close enough” from batch to batch. This reduces the risk of mixed-looking units when you reorder or top up later.
- Splash-resistant options: We include IPX6-capable speakers and units with practical attachment hardware because outdoor giveaways fail fast when they get splashed, dropped in grass, or clipped to a bag in the rain. That gives you choices that keep playing after a wet afternoon.
- Traceable recycled plastics: It’s really important that we don’t greenwash. Our team includes recycled ABS and RCS certified recycled ABS where it’s specified, because “eco” claims don’t hold up if you can’t point to what the plastic actually is. This lets you talk about materials without defending vague wording.
- Lead times you can plan around: We keep fast-turn options in the mix (as quick as 5-6 working days from artwork approval) alongside longer lead choices for planned campaigns. Late branding is how event stock turns into plain units. If you’re up against a deadline, you can pick from what can realistically be branded in time.
These products are the starting point we use as benchmarks for the range you see on this page. Our team regularly goes beyond this shortlist to source bespoke speaker builds when your volume and lead time allow.
