1. Sonos Roam

The Sonos Roam is an ultra-portable and smart speaker that delivers great sound both at home and away. Compact size, unique form factor and both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming make the Roam one of the most versatile speakers available today.

● Carefully thought-out acoustic architecture delivers rich, detailed sound with the clarity, depth and fullness you expect from a larger speaker. The Trueplay automatic sound system works both when the speaker is connected via Wi-Fi and via Bluetooth. Sonos Roam will now be permanently tuned to deliver the best possible sound in any space.
● The slim and curved design of the Roam case blends seamlessly into your home, while its lightweight and ergonomic shape makes it easy to take with you. Simultaneous connection to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth makes streaming flawless, no matter where the user is. When listening to music at home, Roam connects to the system and broadcasts content via Wi-Fi, if the user leaves the room, the speaker intuitively switches to Bluetooth, automatically connecting to a mobile device.
● Roam is ready for any adventure. Dust and waterproof housing with silicone plugs is rated IP67 and is protected from drops or shocks.
● The battery provides Roam continuous operation up to 10 hours without recharging. Standby mode turns on automatically when the speaker is not in use, maintaining a charge of up to 10 days. To recharge the speaker, you can use: Sonos magnetic wireless charger (sold separately), USB-C cable (included) or any Qi wireless charger.
● Connect Roam to your Sonos home system and easily group it with other speakers. Create a stereo pair for an even wider and richer soundstage.
● Thanks to the new Sound Swap technology, by holding the Play/Pause button on the speaker, the user can switch music to the nearest device in the Sonos system, making it much easier to transfer audio content from room to room.
● Roam supports over 100 global audio streaming platforms and is easily controlled via the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2 and directly from your favorite streaming service.

Bang & Olufsen launches $1,800 Beosound Level modular Wireless Speaker

 Beosound Level modular wireless speaker

At the end of last year, the European Parliament spoke in favor of the maintainability of gadgets surrounding a person. In response to the call, Bang & Olufsen has released the Beosound Level modular Wi-Fi speaker. It will indeed be much easier to repair or simply upgrade it: the battery, streaming module and front panel were made replaceable.

The flat, rectangular cabinet of the Beosound Level is easy to adapt to changing interiors - the oak plank surface can be replaced with a dark gray Kvadrat fabric finish. With up to 16 hours of battery life, the Beosound Level is ready to go outdoors. This is facilitated by the IP54 protection class and the carrying handle. For the convenience of recharging, a magnetic adapter was provided, which can be docked to the back wall without looking.

Beosound Level can be positioned as you like - put it down, put it upright or hang it on the wall (a special bracket with a charging function is provided). The speaker will automatically adjust its sound depending on the orientation and acoustic environment around it. If you bring your hand to the Beosound Level, the indicators will light up - the proximity sensor will work.

Five speakers with class D amplification with a total power of 105 watts are responsible for the sound of the novelty. This is a pair of 4-inch woofers, a 2-inch wideband and a pair of 0.8-inch tweeters.

The Beosound Level connects to a computer network via Wi-Fi, although there is also a connector for a patch cord. It works with Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast for internet streaming and multi-room functionality, complete with Google Assistant features. Interaction with mobile gadgets via Bluetooth 5.0 is not forgotten.

Price:

The Bang & Olufsen Beosound Level speaker costs $1,800 in the US. The wall-mounted charging bracket will be available in the spring for an additional $120.

DALI KATCH G2 is perhaps the best-sounding battery-powered Bluetooth speaker you can get. Wrapped in an elegantly rounded solid housing the specially developed drivers deliver the audio signal from the internal digital amplifier.

The DALI KATCH G2 is a portable loudspeaker and will be used in a large variety of situations.

CONNECTIVITY

Bluetooth 5.0 gives you dramatically improved connection range and stability, as well as the improved audio quality of apt-X, apt-X HD, and AAC.
