The Reunion has no DAB, no DAB+, no FM and no internet radio: it is a Bluetooth speaker, and everything it plays comes from a paired phone, tablet or laptop, or from a wired source through the 3.5 mm jack behind the rear flap. If you want a tuner, look at the Roberts radios instead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof in a useful way:\u003c\/strong\u003e IPX7 is the rating that lets a speaker be submerged in water rather than merely resist a shower. In practice that covers an Irish summer, a kitchen sink, a shower shelf and the edge of a pool. The USB-C charging port and the 3.5 mm aux socket sit behind a flap at the back, which keeps them out of the weather when you are not using them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound that fills the space around it:\u003c\/strong\u003e Most portable speakers fire forwards, which is fine if everyone is sitting in front. The Reunion uses two full-range drivers mounted back-to-back with a passive bass radiator at each end, spreading sound through 360 degrees, so it can stand in the middle of a group instead of at one side. Rated output is 50 W, and a DSP steps in at maximum volume to keep distortion in check. At 456 g and 180 mm tall, it is easy to carry to wherever the group has ended up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eListening Need\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReunion Technology\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePractical Benefit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMusic by the water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIPX7 waterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSubmersible rather than splash-resistant, so rain or a drop into the pool does no harm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEveryone in earshot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e360 degree dispersion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack-to-back drivers spread sound all round, so there is no wrong side of the speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-day listening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 hour battery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne charge covers a full day out, and USB-C brings it back in 180 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFilling a garden\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLink up to 10 speakers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeveral Reunions play the same source together, covering a much larger area than one unit alone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaking a call\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnswer hands-free or speak to a voice assistant without reaching for the phone in your pocket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWired sources\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 mm aux input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA jack behind the rear flap takes a cable when Bluetooth is not the easier option\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrengths\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 W output with DSP distortion control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIPX7 rated, submersible rather than splash-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e360 degree sound from back-to-back full-range drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo passive bass radiators for low-end weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 18 hours per charge, 180 minute recharge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinks up to 10 Reunion speakers together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e456 g, with USB-C charging and a built-in microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConsiderations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Reunion has no radio tuner at all: no DAB, no DAB+ and no FM.
