It’s not cheap, but if you’re looking to invest in a high-quality smart speaker that doesn’t need to be kept on a leash, there’s a lot to like about the PHS. It looks and sounds good, the smart stuff works as well as you’d hope, and - need we remind you - it has a handle. Sonos’ Move is still top of this category, but you can pick up a PHS for around £30 less on Bose’s website. And if you do, we don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
