We understand the perennial dilemma of being on holiday and being without speakers to properly listen to your music. But rather than bouncing an 80s style ghetto blaster on your shoulders, pack this little portable speaker from House of Marley.

The case isn't quite as sleek as the speaker it houses, although it has one massive benefit: it can be unzipped when you want to listen to music, then zipped back up to chuck it in your bag without doing it some serious damage.

The sound is decent, and is enough to fill a hotel room, keep you amused while lying on a beach, or just pumping out some tunes while in the office. Plus, the battery is easily charged via a USB cable that can be plugged into your smartphone – so no faffing around with batteries necessary.
