Sound Quality

The FM Radio was able to pick up radio stations really easily and sounded good too. Switching modes is simply. Just press the M for Mode. Pairing via bluetooth was a breeze too. The SE20 allows you to control the volume, tracks and play / pause of the connected device which is really handy.

Conclusion

The August SE20 is a cracking little device which offers many ways to connect devices via bluetooth, SD card or USB. It also doubles up as a clock and FM radio all for around £34.95, although at time of writing it is on offer at Amazon UK for £20.
