Muse Wave Core Portable Bluetooth Speaker 20W with Stereo Pairing

Everyday sound that moves with you

The Muse Wave Core is a portable Bluetooth speaker built for everyday use around the home, garden or on the move. With 20W output power, it fills a living room, kitchen or outdoor space without needing a larger system. The built-in rechargeable battery lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge, getting you through a full day of use without hunting for a power socket. IPX5 splash-proof protection means it keeps working if caught in light rain or splashed by the pool, though it is not submersible. Bluetooth 5.0 with a 10-metre range lets you move around the room or garden without your phone in your pocket, and the USB-C charging port means one less cable to pack when travelling.

Reliable battery life for all-day listening
The built-in 3000mAh lithium-ion battery provides up to 10 hours of continuous playback, dependent on volume level and audio content. This makes it practical for all-day garden parties, weekend camping trips or a long shift at work. The USB-C charging port uses the same cable as most modern phones, reducing cable clutter at home and making it easier to pack for weekend trips or commuting. Charging takes approximately 5 hours when connected to a computer USB port or a mains charger rated at 5V 2A. You can continue using the speaker while it is charging, though charging time may be extended if the volume is high.

IPX5 splash-proof design
The IPX5 rating means the speaker can withstand water jets from any direction, so it will survive poolside splashes, light rain or a knocked-over drink. This makes it suitable for poolside listening, kitchen use near the sink or outdoor use in unpredictable weather. It is not submersible and should not be dunked in water or used in the shower. The splash-proof design gives you confidence to use the speaker in environments where a non-protected speaker would be at risk.

Bluetooth 5.0 with 10-metre range
Bluetooth 5.0 provides a stable wireless connection up to 10 metres in open space, allowing you to move around the room or garden without your phone in your pocket. Walls and structures may reduce range. The speaker pairs quickly with smartphones, tablets, laptops and any other Bluetooth-enabled device. When there is an incoming call to the connected mobile phone, you will hear an incoming call alert tone from the speaker. Press the button to answer the call, press again to end it, or press and hold to reject it. The built-in microphone allows hands-free phone calls, keeping your hands free for cooking, working or driving. If the conversation is not clear, try moving closer to the microphone located on top of the unit.

Colour LED lights
The speaker includes colour LED lights that create a party atmosphere or relaxing mood lighting to match the music. When the unit is on, press and hold the button repeatedly to turn on or off the colour light and change the colour light effect. This feature is particularly appealing for buyers with kids or those who host casual gatherings, adding a fun, low-stakes differentiator when comparing two similarly priced speakers.

Stereo pairing function
The stereo pairing function allows you to connect two Wave Core speakers wirelessly to create true left and right stereo separation. This delivers a wider soundstage and more immersive listening experience than a single mono speaker. It is an upgrade path for buyers who care about sound quality but don't want to spend on a full stereo system: buy one now, add a second later if you want better sound. The distance between the main speaker and secondary speaker should be within 4 metres for best results. Any two M-780 speakers will pair with each other regardless of colour, as long as both units are running the same firmware.

USB and aux-in playback
The USB port allows MP3 playback directly from a USB flash drive without needing a phone or computer. This works even when your phone is dead or you don't have a Bluetooth device to hand, making it useful for playing a pre-loaded USB stick at a community event, workshop or anywhere a phone isn't practical. The 3.5mm aux-in jack with cable included guarantees compatibility with older devices that lack Bluetooth, such as an old MP3 player, laptop or even a cassette player for a nostalgic listening session. These features cover edge cases and signal versatility, future-proofing the purchase.

Portable and lightweight
At 800g, the speaker is light enough to carry in a daypack or tote bag without adding significant bulk. It goes with you to the park, beach or a friend's house without weighing you down. The detachable shoelace holder lets you attach a strap or carabiner for hands-free carrying, freeing up your hands when hiking, cycling or carrying other gear. You can clip the speaker to a rucksack on a hike or hang it from a tent loop while camping. Available in black or pink, the speaker fits your personal style while delivering the same reliable performance.
