I purchased these speakers back in April 2011 when we were having a good spell of weather. These replaced an old set of portable speakers that I owned and subsequently lost. I like to have a small set of portable speaker for going on holiday with and if I am heading to the park with friends for a BBQ. The portable speakers are ideal for both scenario's. They are small, light weight and they aren't overly loud so you are not disturbing others with your music. I paid just under £6 for these Technika speakers from Tesco. Technika are a brand that I am fairly familiar with and I have always found them to be of quality for what you pay. I was not ...  Read the complete review

After my old set of portable speakers finally gave up the ghost, I started to look around for another set to take their place. Now normally I just want a cheap set of portable speakers that I could take on holiday with me, or to a hotel when I'm on an overnight stop for business, so that I could plug them into my phone to use it as an mp3 player. They'll get knocked around a bit as they get buried in various travel bags, hence wanting to go for a cheap set that were 'expendable', but with a decent sound quality. Shopping around in Tesco one day for the weekly shop I noticed this Technika speaker in their Electronics Section for £3.97, and hence thought that it would ..  Read the complete review

Technika is an electronic brand sold in Tesco stores, and known for it's budget prices. It's difficult to find any information on the brand online and on some other websites I've read some quite poor reviews of their products, however I spotted the MA-309 portable speaker for just £5.97, and thought I would give it a go. The packaging is the same as most other Technika products; green and black in colour, and not very much detail. The speaker is enclosed in that tough moulded plastic which is difficult to open if you don't have a pair scissors handy. Also once the plastic has been cut, the edges can be very sharp, so watch your fingers. The speaker ...  Read the complete review

Well am not sure if there is much point putting a further review on this, as having just done a Google search I can inform you that this no longer seems to be being sold anywhere, but I will give my 2 cents worth anyway. At the time I had been looking around for a set of portable speakers for a while, one that would last a while, as well as having a decent sound quality. Initially I was looking at the growing x-mini range, but the problem here is that everyone is buying them, so I found it off-putting and after doing a little bit of research I went for the mixed review Technika portable speaker. Now the reason I wanted portable speakers was pretty simple for ...  Read the complete review

I mostly use my headphones when listening to music via my mp3 player due to sound quality and ease of use. The fact that I am not disturbing other people in the house is also a benefit, but sometimes I like to just play my music out loud in my room or when the house is empty I will use them with the laptop. The Technika MA-309 portable speakers are handy for connecting to anything with a 3.5mm input but unfortunately they require 3 x AAA batteries which is a negative. Obviously this does prolong the battery life of the mp3 player and with a battery life of around 4-6hours I would strongly recommend getting some rechargable batteries. These trendy little ...  Read the complete review
