Questions

Which colour and which size should I choose?

Sand suits light wood and white walls, Sage sits well with plants and green, and Dusk disappears on dark shelves. Orbit fills a living room or open-plan kitchen; Orbit Mini suits bedrooms, bathrooms and travel, and it's fully waterproof.

See them side by side on the compare page.

What's the battery life?

Orbit plays for up to 24 hours on the Orbit Dock (sold separately, £79). Orbit Mini has a built-in 12-hour battery and charges over USB-C.

Does it support Matter and my voice assistant?

Yes. Orbit and Orbit Mini are Matter controllers and Thread border routers. Choose Alexa or Google Assistant during setup, and Orbit also works with Apple Home through AirPlay 2.

Can I physically turn the microphones off?

Yes. The switch on the back cuts power to the microphones; it isn't a software setting. An orange light on the top ring shows while they're off. Music, AirPlay and Bluetooth keep working.

Is it easy to set up as a gift?

Very. Plug it in, open the Orbit app and hold your phone near the top. It works over Bluetooth straight out of the box with no account at all. Gift receipts are included and returns are free for 30 days.

How does Orbit compare to other premium smart speakers?

Most speakers in this price range fire forwards. Orbit fires in every direction, so it can sit in the middle of a room and sound the same from every seat. It tunes itself to the room using its microphones, and you can pair two for stereo.
