A big British audio brand just launched Bluetooth speakers that give off major JBL vibes — but for way cheaper

  • Majority launches 4 speakers, from 12W to 70W of power
  • Bluetooth 6.0 plus LED lighting, USB, aux and microSD on three models
  • From £29 to £119 – US launch will come later

To say that Majority's new Bluetooth speakers appear to have been inspired by JBL is a bit like saying Oasis were a bit inspired by The Beatles – but then again there are only so many ways you can design a speaker or put three chords together. And the new Move M1, M2, M3 and M4 are all good looking, well specified and keenly priced.

All four speakers are available now in the UK, but Majority told TechRadar that it has a US distributor and "will announce launch plans later this year".

The baby of the range is the palm-sized Move M1, which is a 12W speaker with 70 hours of play time (which is… impressive), IPX5 water resistance, stereo pairing of two units, and hands-free calling via your phone. Its official price is £29.99 (about $40 / AU$60).

Majority Move Bluetooth speakers: key features and pricing

Next up there's the £49.95 (about $70 / AU$100) Move M2, which puts out 30W and has USB connectivity, aux-in and microSD playback options. It also has dynamic LED lighting to set the mood, and play time is 30 hours.

The Move M3 has a very similar specification to the M2, but ups the power to 40W and costs £79.95 (about $110 / AU$160).

The flagship is the Move M4, the most powerful of the four. It's a 70W speaker with Bluetooth 6.0, 30 hours of play time, IPX7 water resistance and stereo pairing. Once again, Move M4 has USB, aux-in and microSD inputs, and there are dynamic LEDs to set the mood. The Move M4 is £119.95 ($160 / AU$240).

With long battery lives and lower prices than similarly-sized JBL Bluetooth speakers, plus microSD music playback as a bonus, these could be very tempting – Majority has made some great-value stuff in the past, but we'll need to test these to see they sound good enough.
