Cambridge Audio, a 50-year-old British Hi-Fi and speaker company, claims its Bluetooth speakers live up to the promise of a pure and unadulterated British Sound. What is British sound? See the video at the end.
The YOYO range comes in small, medium and large and, according to the company, “Consider your Bluetooth speaker expectations exceeded”.
It uses Cambridge Audios’ high–performance, low-distortion amplifiers and digital signal processing (DSP). The promise is to faithfully reproduce music, neither adding nor losing any of the original performance.
World-renown British weaving company Marton Mills created the 100% worsted wool that is thin enough to be acoustically transparent. Colours include dark grey, light grey, blue and green. NanoSphere treatment ensures the cloth is both water and dirt repellent.

Each YOYO model has been designed to address certain needs and habits – portability, stereo sound, loud parties, conference calls or finding the best sounding speaker to fit a small, medium or large room or outdoor BBQ or get-together over the holidays.”
