I'd love to like this bigger BlackBox as much as I do its smaller sister - the more pocketable mini - but I'm afraid I just can't. It looks wonderful with its Eighties sci-fi red LED display, it's pretty portable, goes very loud and even comes with a remote control and carry case. It has plenty of potential and sounds very good when hooked up with a standard 3.5mm cable, but alas it doesn't work as well when you fire up the Bluetooth connection. Given that you're paying a premium for the privilege of being able to play music wirelessly, I don't think it's too much to expect to be able to do so without suffering a huge loss in quality. Unfortunately, you do, and I'd therefore recommend you go and spend your £80 elsewhere.
