Today is not only the longest day of the year, it’s also Make Music Day (sometimes known as World Music Day) – a day that celebrates musical performances and general appreciation of music. There are hundreds of events happening across the UK that you can attend for free (check out https://makemusicday.co.uk/events/ to find one near you). If you can’t attend an event, why not host your own music appreciation party at home? We’ve gathered up some of our favourite audio products to get you started:
This cute retro-style speaker from Intempo pairs wirelessly with your phone or tablet so you can listen to your favourite tunes without the faff of cables. You can even take this speaker out and about with you, as it comes with a built-in rechargeable battery for music on the go.
In the spirit of Music Day, why not dust off that box of cassette tapes from days gone by and listen to some nostalgic tunes? This compact cassette player from Groov-e comes with headphones for private listening, as well as a built in speaker and microphone, so you can also use this device for recording your own music (it is Make Music Day after all!)
Maybe you’re too young for tapes but you’ve got a box of CDs stashed away in the loft – look no further than this 90s-inspired CD player from Groov-e. Load up your favourite disc or program in your FM radio station of choice (the player will remember up to 40 so you don’t have to memorise the station numbers) and boogie away. This CD player even has MP3 functionality if you don’t fancy taking it all the way back to the CD era.
Earbuds are great and all, but you really can’t beat a beefy pair of over-ear headphones, and these ones from JVC are powerful and affordable at the same time. The comfortable ear pads provide high quality sound, and the headphones fold flat for portability so you can take them with you wherever you go.
These headphones are perfect for keeping your little superhero entertained while travelling, and with a built-in volume limiter you don’t have to worry about damaged ears again.
Go vintage with this elegant record player from Goodmans, and convert your vinyl discs to MP3 with its built-in Audacity software. With a portable briefcase design and ability to operate via battery or mains, this turntable is great for taking on relaxed days out or parties.
This stylish soundsystem from Goodmans does just about everything you’d want; play CDs, stream your music via Bluetooth or listen to DAB or FM radio. You can even charge your smartphone using its built-in USB port, meaning you only need one device to serve all of your daily audio needs.
