Majority Audio Bard Internet Radio Music System

£179.99

In an office full of people, finding a radio station that suits everyone’s music taste is difficult – especially when you’re limited to only a few DAB channels. Therefore, when we got the chance to test out the Bard speaker from Majority Audio which boasts to provide not just DAB and FM radio stations, but also allows for a Bluetooth, Spotify and aux cord connection, we jumped at the chance.

The speaker has a retro-inspired design but is filled with modern tech to deliver a great sound experience perfect for filling an office. I loved that straight out of the box, you could just plug in the Bard, connect to your Wi-Fi and it was ready to go. With an internet connection, the Bard has access to thousands of stations across the world thanks to the internet radio mode. We loved being able to flick through all the channels to find one that suited the varied music tastes across the office – something we struggled to do with our previous speaker which only had about 10 radio channels!

Plus, with the included remote control, you no longer need to be hunched over searching for the next channel. Instead, you can just change the channel at a distance – a novelty that our office definitely enjoyed instead of getting up every time! However, should the plentiful channels not be to your liking, you can just as easily connect your phone via Bluetooth or through an aux cord to connect your music that way. I loved that I could play a more curated playlist this way, whilst making the most of the sound quality that the speaker delivers.

In terms of sound quality, the speaker is great for filling an office. The Bard is built with two 4-inch speakers with a 5-inch bass delivering a 100-watt 2.1 stereo experience. The components ensure that each track has a great bass and treble, whilst also featuring its innovative lossless technology to make every internet radio station crystal clear. A key factor in this is the internal subwoofer which is designed to help fill a room with rich sound that has a clear and crisp bass. For us, the Bard has made a perfect addition to the office and now everyone enjoys a variety of music supported by its great sound deliverance.

If you are on the hunt for a great radio for your office or home, the Majority Bard is an excellent choice featuring great sound quality, a plethora of radio stations, and even doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. Plus, with an alarm clock setting this would be the perfect addition to your room to wake you up in the morning and start your day with your favourite tunes!

Pros:

• Great sound quality
• Retro-inspired design and functional remote control
• Radio, Bluetooth and Aux connections for any music

Cons:

• The buttons on the front can be a little harder to see in low lighting as they blend in with the unit – however, I found the remote remedied this fine
