Review:
A very nice little speaker

This is a really nice little speaker.  Audio Dynamix sent it to me for review and I am pleased to say that it is up to their usual very high standard with excellent build quality and very good sound for such a small unit.

The Clarity is very nicely boxed and presented, so it's clear that you're getting a quality product.  You also get a very nice soft carrying case, a good instruction manual and two leads: a jack-to-jack lead for AUX connection and a micro-USB lead for charging.

The speaker is nicely designed.  It's very compact at 19cm x 7cm x 3cm making it slim and very easily transportable.  It feels very solidly made; the body is aluminium with a very nice finish and it feels very robust.  The controls on the top are clear and stylish and the ports on the side are well sealed and easily accessible.

In use it works very well.  Bluetooth connection was straightforward both conventionally and via NFC and range was good with a solid connection even with me in the way up to at least 8m.  The speaker also has an AUX input for non-Bluetooth connection. The controls are as you would expect, with volume, skip forward and back and pause/play for music, and receive/end call using the pause/play button, allowing hands-free calls via the speaker.  Battery life is good: I haven't tested it to exhaustion, but the claim of 10 hours playing time seems about right.  Everything just works properly and it's a good, versatile and practical speaker.

The sound is really good for such a small unit.  It goes perfectly loud enough for me with no audible distortion.  Tops and middles are excellent, and the bass is remarkably strong from a compact speaker, giving an overall clear and rich sound with very good articulation.  It performs well on all the music I tested it on, from 16th Century choral music to London Grammar, and as a compact, portable speaker it's among the best I've heard at this price. 

Overall, this is a lovely little speaker.  If you're looking for a small, easily portable speaker which is pretty waterproof and well made with very good sound, this will do you very well and I can recommend it warmly.
