Last year when music gear giant Marshall announced their first line of headphones music lovers took notice in a big way, and weren't disappointed by the quality of either the construction or the sound. This year they announced that they were going to release a Bluetooth wireless version of the same Major design and I knew I had to give them a try.

A few weeks ago I recieved the Senta Ally Bluetooth Portable Stereo Speaker from C. Crane, and I have to tell you, this blows any other portable bluetooth speaker I have tried out of the water. I love music and audio books, and listen to both from my iPhone all the time. I have been looking for a way to listen wirelessly for some time, and have tried quite a few speakers, but none have the range of sound and richness of tone that this one has.
I use it via bluetooth only, but it has quite a few other features. Like others in this category it has a microphone which allows it to be used as a speaker phone, but also includes an FM tuner with 99 presets, the ability to listen to MP3 files from either an SD card or via USB, and an aux in jack to connect your MP3 player. All of these are great, but it is the sound quality that makes this the best on the market.
C. Crane Company has been in business for a lot of years, and are known throughout the amateur radio community as the go-to place for electronics gear. This speaker is no different. Room filling clean sound, loud enough to be heard over the shower, and yet enough battery life to last all night when falling asleep to your favorite music.
Trust me, if you are in the market for a bluetooth speaker avoid the Bose hype and Jawbone or Beats prices. For $69.95 this is the one to buy.
