Motorola’s Sound ROKR 600 sits in the brand’s portable Bluetooth speaker range, taking on compact party speakers from the likes of JBL and Anker. It’s built for everyday listening at home, then grabbing and going for the garden or a weekend away, with a tougher shell aimed at surviving splashes and dusty environments.

Who is the ROKR 600 best for?

If you want a small speaker that can still fill a room, the quoted 30W output is the headline, giving you more headroom before things start to sound strained. Motorola also leans into enhanced bass, which should suit pop, dance and podcasts where a fuller low end helps at lower volumes. Water and dust resistance is the other big draw, it’s the sort of feature that matters when you’re using it near the sink, by the pool, or out in the park.

• 30W output, better for larger rooms and outdoor listening than pocket speakers
• Water and dust resistance, more forgiving for travel and outdoor use
• Bluetooth wireless, quick pairing with phones, tablets and laptops
