Looking at reasonable quality speakers want ideally a rechageable one mid sized (not a pocket one) good quality and of course not too expensive (so bose is out). Saw one at Richer Sounds Broken Link Removed anyone got one to recommend

I've got a Bose SoundLink Mini which I can't recommend highly enough.

It's far better than it has any right to be given it's size. By far the best sound I've ever heard from any speaker of this type.

Well that`s our 13th year & still loving it.
Definitely Bose, expensive but total quality, we have the soundtouch 30`s at home streaming our music from iTunes & spotify.
In the motorhome soundtouch 10 is more than ample, you can pick them up from the bose store refurbished for £150.

Conversley I have the iPhone 6 but my hearing cannot measure the difference in relation to price and I don't think it will handle your incoming phone calls either

Bose are good, got a sound bar recently and it is superb. For a smaller speaker I recently got an Anker mini bluetooth speaker, brilliant, check out their range.

If you mean a bluetooth speaker, you can't as they are both receivers not senders.

Look at my earlier post.
You need a Bluetooth transmitter that fits into the headphone jack if you have one ...

Sony SRS-X3 . Less than the BOSE but IMO almost as good. Use it as a wired sound bar in the van and able to link wirelessly as well.

@Nirvanauk the bose connects to the tv via the aux socket. I'm sure your tv will have some sort of audio out socket

If anyone was confused we don't use the bose whilst driving around. We use phones bluetooth ed to the van stereo which is a Sony unit with a separate subwoofer under the passenger seat. We get nice quality sound
