Top Portable Speakers for Festival Fun
JBL Charge 6 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
The Charge 6 is a proper campsite crowd-pleaser. It's loud, punchy, and built to handle the outdoors – rain or shine. With 20 hours of battery life and the ability to charge your phone while it plays, it’s the definition of a party workhorse. Waterproof, dustproof, and practically indestructible, the Charge 6 is ready for whatever the festival throws your way.
Marshall Emberton III Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Nothing says "rock 'n' roll" like a Marshall amp, and the Emberton III captures that energy in a pint-sized package. This little powerhouse pumps out rich, warm sound with a surprising low-end kick. Plus, the classic Marshall styling will win you serious cool points at the campsite. 30+ hours of battery and rugged build quality mean it's not just about the looks either.
Sonos Roam 2 Portable Smart Speaker
Want your speaker to do a little more thinking for you? The Sonos Roam 2 is smart, sleek, and seamless. It’s got auto Trueplay tuning to adapt to your surroundings, whether you're chilling in your tent or dancing under the stars. It switches between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi effortlessly, so you can use it at home too. Compact, classy, and clever.
Dali KATCH G2 Bluetooth Speaker
The KATCH G2 brings premium Danish design to your portable party. This isn’t your average Bluetooth speaker – it sounds seriously refined, with rich detail and full-bodied bass. It’s ideal if you’re the kind of festival-goer who likes quality as much as quantity. Looks beautiful, sounds better – and fits neatly into your overnight bag.
Best Headphones to Escape the Chaos
Grado SR125x Headphones
Vintage vibes meet modern sound. The Grado SR125x open-back headphones aren’t noise isolating, but that’s kind of the point – they’re perfect for chilled-out listening at the caravan or by the firepit. With their unique retro aesthetic and clear, detailed sound, they’ll appeal to audiophiles who appreciate character and craftsmanship.
FiiO Jade Audio JT1 Over-Ear Headphones
On a budget but don’t want to compromise on sound? The JT1s are a hidden gem. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and deliver way more detail and clarity than you’d expect at this price. Great for downtime at the tent or relaxing after a long day of mud, music, and madness.
JBL Live Pro 2 TWS Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds
Compact, comfy, and loaded with features. The Live Pro 2s offer strong ANC, great battery life, and a secure fit – ideal for tuning out snoring tentmates or catching a podcast between sets. Plus, they’re IPX5 water-resistant, so a little festival rain won’t stop the music.
Bowers & Wilkins Px8 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
Luxury at a festival? Go on then. The Px8s are the crème de la crème of wireless noise-cancelling headphones. Sleek, beautifully built, and offering jaw-dropping sound quality, they’ll block out everything from bass bleed to mid-morning chatter. Yes, they’re on the pricey side – but if you’re serious about your tunes and don’t mind turning heads, they’re worth the splurge. Let’s just say you’ll be the best-dressed listener on the field.
Your Festival, Your Soundtrack
Whether you're blasting beats at the tent, winding down in the campervan, or sneaking in a moment of headphone solitude, great audio gear makes all the difference.
At Peter Tyson, we stock all of the above – and loads more. We’re passionate about helping music lovers enjoy sound the way it was meant to be heard, whether you're at home or on the move. So before you hit the fields this summer, make sure your gear is as ready as you are.
