With the Rockster Cross 2 outdoor speaker, Teufel offers a subtle product update featuring punchy sound and improved battery life.

Our test of 166 speakers shows that there are suitable speakers for every purpose – lightweight and mobile for the lake, robust and powerful for a party, or wired models for the shelf. This means there’s a speaker to suit everyone. Good Bluetooth speakers are available from around 100 euros, and good Wi-Fi-enabled speakers from around 200 euros...
