Huawei Sound Joy review: Open up a can of bass

A capable, powerful and rich-sounding Bluetooth speaker. It's easy to setup, looks great, and the form-factor is versatile. We think it's a great option for just about anyone - but at this price point, it faces a lot of stiff competition.

Loads of rich bass; Stylish and functional LED ring; Solid battery life and fast-charging; Handy form-factor;

Vocals can sound harsh at higher volumes; No 3.5mm connectivity - it's Bluetooth only; Questionable strap durability; No app for iOS users;

Huawei Sound Joy review

The Huawei Sound Joy is an exceptional speaker with impressive build quality and great audio performance, but some limitations to its smarts - especially with iOS devices - may put some off.

Impressive audio, particularly bass; Stylish, premium look; 26-hour battery life;

No app support for iOS devices; Vocals can be sharp at high volume; No custom EQ;
