We played a symphony on bluetooth speakers instead of reviewing them like normal people

I once dreamt of playing music for a living, but – as is the case with many people – my ambition outstripped my drive. And, you know, talent.

Thankfully though, technology has my back.

With smartphones and bluetooth speakers, it’s like everyone’s been gifted with a basic musical ability – all without the need for boring things like skills or technique or expertise .

So, with the launch of Plugged – our new sub-brand focusing on gear and gadgets – it seemed like an ideal time to stretch our musical muscles.

In other words, do our own rendition of “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” – also known as the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey – using only our phones and a range of bluetooth speakers. Because, you know, how else are you meant to review them?

Watch the whole thing above ( or on YouTube itself here ).
