BoomBocs has the ultimate Christmas gift for the audiophiles in your life
It's stunningly retro-styled, colourful, feature-packed, and delivers pro-audio quality sound, BoomBocs STUDIO is the latest portable speaker created by celebrity sound engineer Jonny Williams.
Disruptive speaker brand BoomBocs has launched its latest portable speaker, STUDIO. With BoomBocs fans already including industry heavyweights such as Lady Gaga and Steven Tyler, STUDIO is the latest model from the brand’s founder, expert sound engineer Jonny Williams. Set to shake up the lacklustre wireless speaker market with vibrant colours, retro design, and studio-quality sound, the supremely cool STUDIO is made for true music aficionados.
From humble beginnings building suitcase speakers in Jonny’s Brixton living room, to huge celebrity clients and customers including Rita Ora, Kylie Minogue, and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, BoomBocs speakers encompass everything artists and consumers love about the British music scene with the brand’s stand-out retro design and studio-grade quality sound.
Custom Fender ‘tweed’ wrapped versions of the original BoomBocs speaker have appeared on stage at London’s Hyde Park with Tom Petty, and GRAMMY Award Winning Lady Gaga took delivery of 11 customised BoomBocs’ for herself and her team, including her mom and dad!
The latest product, BoomBocs STUDIO, is the ultimate portable speaker offering all the BoomBocs quality and style but in a compact, smaller, more affordable design and with some nifty new features.
STUDIO features built-in streaming services including Spotify, Deezer, and Amazon Music to free up your phone, internet radio, wireless connectivity, and it comes complete with a dedicated app.
The efficient built-in amplifier and stereo full-range speakers are tuned by Jonny himself to deliver true pro-audio sound quality, wherever you are. With a battery life of up to 15 hours, you'll be able to use it in your home, at the park, or at an all-night rave with friends. Or even at a Christmas or New Year's Even party!
STUDIO comes in five fantastica stand-out colours, pink, orange, green, black, and white, making most other wireless speakers look like anonymous monotone boxes.
Like all BoomBocs speakers, STUDIO plays homage to retro portable speakers of the past, with its large, stereo speaker drivers on full show. The drivers use aluminium cones for their high-power handling and better moisture/impact resistance than cheaper, less efficient paper cones.
His expert, hands-on knowledge has given him the technical knowhow to help him create the BoomBocs signature sound, and cram that performance into the most compact, affordable, and technically advanced BoomBocs to date.
“BoomBocs has always done things differently and design has played a big part in that,” says Jonny. “For the STUDIO speaker, I was tired of seeing portable and Bluetooth speakers which all looked the same, black boxes with grills on, and sounding rubbish!
"I believe STUDIO completely breaks that mould, bringing the retro style and big-speaker performance of previous BoomBocs models to a smaller, more affordable design. BoomBocs is all about delivering exceptional sound quality and a stand-out style which looks great in your home or while you are out and about.”
Jonny’s passion for music and creativity was passed down from his grandfather who was a trumpeter. so from a young age, Jonny knew music was what he wanted to pursue, beginning to play the drums at age seven and teaching himself to play a vast array of other instruments thereafter.
Fascinated by how science and music work together, Jonny studied at university in his native country, Cymru. He was touring and mixing arena-sized concerts by the time he was 22, starting out on world tours with Queen and Pink Floyd tribute bands.
Jonny soon became a sought-after name within the pop music scene, working with huge names like Kylie Minogue and All Saints for many years.
Jonny says: “I have a specific style when it comes to being a sound engineer and I like to mix everything to deliver an AC/DC style sound; driving drums and percussive instruments to deliver real energy and passion. Artists like my style of mixing as it really ups the ante when they play live, and I have tried to distil that balance and all of the passion into the sound tuning of STUDIO.”
Other features include access to 50k internet radio stations, podcasts from various services, a rechargeable battery lasting up to 15 hours on a single charge, and an alarm clock and sleep timer making it the ideal rock n roll bedroom partner.

Too much alcohol? There's a booze free option, too with Boo Chi Kombucha
If you're going to say "no" to alcohol over Christmas and your going to be trying out Dry January, ditch the high-calorie drinks and use kombucha to mix your mocktails. You can also use kombucha in a variety of recipes too.
You have heard of Kombucha but aren't sure what it is? It's a fermented tea beverage that's packed full of useful probiotics that are good for your gut.
Fermented foods, such as kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut and yoghurt contain probiotics and other microorganisms that nourish the good-for-you bacteria that's already resident in your gut, supporting healthy gastrointestinal functions and your body's overall microbiome.
Probiotics are associated with a variety of health benefits, such as improved digestion, better immunity, and even increased weight loss.
Research shows kombucha is also rich in antioxidant-packed, anti-inflammatory polyphenols, too.
This is why kombucha has the reputation of making people who drink it feel so good. So see out 2022 and kick start 2022 with good vibes and good-for-you bacteria, jazz it up to create delicious mocktails or add it to some recipes.
