Good reviews over quite a period so must be a pretty sure winner.

I looked a day or 2 ago for a GAN one and there were plenty websites with stock?

never heard of them. Good find.
While we're on the subject... anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced 65W PD powerbank?

This was R50 off on the FNB App today but I think sold out now.

I took a chance on one of these bad boys, I figured for R99 it's probably worth the gamble. Maybe it makes load shedding more tolerable.

This arrived today and man, it has a surprising amount of bass for a R99 gadget. The built-in torch is also not half-bad, although the switch is tiny and hard to activate as it looks like a DIP switch. You'll probably end up looking for the switch (which is on the same plane as the torch LED SMD) and inevitably blind yourself when you find it.

The main body seems like it's made of hard cardboard, which means it's pretty light. I actually think this may be an in-house Takealot brand as I see the box has Takealot's address on it printed on the bottom fold. I don't expect it to hold up for a long time, but considering the price, it's understandable that some corners had to be cut. The inputs are quite good too; 3.5 and 5.5mm aux, Bluetooth, MicroSD and USB is all catered for. I haven't tested FM radio but the product blurb says it's also included.

The affordable price of less than one hundred Randelas means that losing one shouldn't hurt the wallet too much. This weekend, when my neighbours inevitably blare their music at 2AM while everyone else is trying to get some sleep, I will test the durability by loading a 10-hour loop of Baby Shark onto a cheap thumb drive and fling the speaker set to 50% volume into the bushes in their yard. I fully expect it to stick the landing into the shrubs, hopefully deep enough in that it causes a mild inconvenience until its found and snuffed out.

I've been using the Power up headphones for a year, for cheap in-ear headphones they've actually been durable and sound pretty decent, normally in-ears at this price point are terrible

That's great, I love it when a cheap gadget surprises a person with quality or reliability.

I wonder if Power Up is to Takealot like what Amazon Basics is to Amazon, as I see they sell lots of different types of high-volume, low cost items if you search for them via the brand name.

No idea to be honest :-) but I've been happy with it, the ones I've bought for other people also enjoyed them.

How big is the speaker? The reviews say that it's bigger than expected.
