Do you remember reading about how an important tech magazine voted the remote-controlthe most useful gadget of the last century? There are some gadgets like that that just seem to make sense. The microwave would count as one; the multitouch screen that you see on an iPhone or an iPad would count as one too. Did you ever look at the speakers on a laptop or a smartphone and wonder why they had to be so pathetic? These are devices that the manufacturer designs for entertainment right from the get-go. And yet, as much as they can never tire of talking about how great their screen is, the other component of a great entertainment experience, great sound, is never so much as alluded to. If you want better sound than the nonexistent speakers on one of these devices can produce, you're expected to get earbuds. Until now. It's just one of those products they should have built at the turn-of-the-century or before. They certainly had the technology for portable wireless stereo speakers.
These speakers can be as portable as you want them to be; the really tiny models cost about $50; for those who want a little oomph, the boombox-sized ones go for about $200. One quality these have in common is that they are rechargeable and they connect to your device wirelessly through Bluetooth - from a distance of up to 30 feet. Wherever you are in the house doing whatever you want, you just need to pick up your wireless stereo speakers and head there. The fact that there is no power to connect the speakers to (the internal batteries are good for eight hours once charged) makes them especially convenient; they'll stream music from your phone or whatever with the minimum of fuss.
Just imagine, whatever your phone or laptop can receive, Internet radio or anything else, you can listen to wherever you want to be - even at the beach (if the music doesn't bother anyone). The only thing that stands between you and the music, are the few second you need to spend pairing them to your devices. It used to be that pairing devices was a pretty involved process: you had to press down specific combinations of buttons on both devices, and do it all at the same time. Things are much simpler these days. On the Logitech Z515 for instance, you just need to hold the volume buttons down for a few seconds. Once the speakers enter pairing mode, you go to your main device and recognize the speakers on the screen.
The effect of having wireless stereo speakers work from a distance - just like that - can be pretty hysterical. And it is just a startlingly beautiful effect to be able to hear the sound quality your devices are actually capable of. Everyone should have one of these these.previous post Kind of like Baby Photograhy
