Wireless speaker

[cargar]

My other half wants a speaker or some wireless system whereby she can listen to her laptop(cd, wav files or radio) whilst in the kitchen. I am a technophobe:scratch: so could do with some help here - what should i buy ? Budget around £50 - any help much appreciated lads.

Until recently I would have recommended a Big Jawbone, however mine's been superseded by a Denon Envaya Mini...

...more portable, and staggeringly good sound for blue tooth, if your device supports aptX...

...worth checking out their site for your device :)

Thanks for the links Will, bit more than i can afford for the speaker and i do not know if her laptop (dell) supports APTX, looked at your link but it does not say.
Does her laptop have to have bluetooth enabled to use a wireless speaker ?

She can get a dongle, and that could have aptX capabilities...

Many thanks chaps, Will - i have ordered the dongle thingy and Barry - ordered the speaker - she can always upgrade it later if she likes using it but wants better sound. Cheers,
