Test scoreShow Context
- Portable speaker

Pure claims that with its DiscovR speaker, 'smart speakers just got smarter'. With Alexa voice control, it also promises a very high level of privacy - physically push down its top panel and the microphone is completely disconnected, so there's no way it can be listening to you. The speaker is portable, too, with Pure promising up to 15 hours of battery life. So is this smart speaker worth your money? Read our expert review.
