Connecting the Groovy Wireless Stereo Speaker is an easy and straightforward process. Simply turn the speaker on and enable Bluetooth on your mobile device. We successfully connected our Samsung Galaxy Note II and iPad Mini within a matter of seconds.

To test the sound quality of the Groovy Wireless Stereo Speaker we watched the first 15 minutes of The Dark Knight on the Samsung Galaxy Note II. Overall, both high and low tones were crystal clear though we did notice a clear emphasis on the lower registers. Turning the volume up to its maximum resulted in a shaky desk and slightly distorting speech in the clip.

Loading up a music collection showed where the Groovy's strengths lie as, even with the volume at its maximum, it sounded crisp and clear at all times.

The emphasis on lower registers became clear once more when we made a number of calls. Speaking to callers with a deeper voice made it slightly difficult to discern what was being said from time to time. However, callers with notably higher pitched voices were crystal clear. Throughout our calls the person on the other end made it clear that they had no trouble hearing us, nor did they experience any significant background noise.

We measured an average of 3 hours and 15 minutes of continuous use on a single charge. An impressive result and very close to the number quoted by LUXA2.

All in all, we are impressed with the LUXA2 Groovy Wireless Stereo Speaker. The aluminum build contributes to its solid build quality and it is a pleasure listening to music, watching YouTube and movies or simply making calls without having to keep the phone in close proximity.

As an added bonus, we feel the Groovy has an attractive design and certainly stands out in a market with predominantly plastic peripherals.

Retailing for £52.44 inc vat. we believe the Groovy Wireless Stereo Speaker offers excellent value for money.

Pros:

• Attractive design.
• Excellent build quality.
• Sounds great when listening to music.
• Protective pouch is always a plus.

Cons:

• Bass can be overwhelming.
• Slight distortion at maximum volume.

KitGuru says: A worthwhile consideration for anyone who uses their tablet or phone regularly but feels underwhelmed by their mobile device's speakers.
