Tintag Bluetooth item tracker takes aim at Tile’s biggest shortcoming

Site default logo image

Tintag is a new Bluetooth lost item tracker that’s taking on current trackers who fall short in the battery department. Traditionally, trackers have either had replaceable batteries or non-rechargeable permanent batteries. The first solution is a hassle because you need to keep batteries on hand and the second solution is wasteful and costly since you’ll need to replace the entire tracker.

Tintag thinks it solved both of those problems by being the first rechargeable item tracker…

Bose announces its most affordable Soundlink Color speaker and its first set of Bluetooth headphones

Site default logo image

Today, Bose unveiled the SoundLink Color for only $129.95, making it the least expensive portable Bluetooth speaker ever from Bose.

It weighs just 1.25 pounds, and measures 5” wide, 2.1” deep and 5.3” high to fit easily into a handbag, knapsack or the palm of your hand. Bose combined exclusive dual-opposing passive radiators with two high-efficiency transducers for full-range sound, including deep, low-note performance. With its size and performance, the SoundLink Color speaker is a small wonder, making out-loud listening undeniably portable, powerful and fun.

 

Bose also introduced the SoundLink On-Ear for $249.95. It’s the first on-ear Bluetooth headphone from the company.

The SoundLink on-ear Bluetooth headphones deliver all the audio performance of a Bose wired headphone. Bose Active Equalization and TriPort technology combine for smoother, more balanced sound. Mid-high frequencies are natural, and low-frequencies are detailed and full. Yet, there are no cords or cables, so you can take calls, or enjoy a video, movie or music freely.The headphones let you hear and be heard, wherever you are. A new two-microphone system rejects distractions like wind, so callers can hear what you’re saying more, and the sounds around you less.

The Soundlink Headphones are on sale today and the speaker begins shipping September 25th.

Add AirPlay to any set of speakers or receiver w/ AirMobi Music Receiver for $20 Prime shipped

Site default logo image


Speakers and receivers that support Apple AirPlay streaming generally cost much more than their Bluetooth counterparts. But that’s no surprise since we’re all very well aware of Apple tax. Anways, many people, including myself, prefer AirPlay streaming over Bluetooth since it’s easier to setup and typically works at further distances.

Jump in on this deal to add AirPlay streaming to nearly any set of speakers or receiver you already have. DBROTH via Amazon offers the iReceiver Wi-Fi Music Receiver for $19.99 with free Prime shipping when you enter coupon code INH83PMX at checkout. If you aren’t a Prime member (free trial), then shipping costs will vary or you’ll have to pad your order to $35 or more to get free shipping. That’s $50 below list and a much more affordable option than buying an AirPort Express to accomplish the same task. It simply connects via the included 3.5mm aux cable.

Available in white or black. Reviews are a bit mixed at 3.3 stars but at just $20 it should be worth your time.

Satechi’s latest wireless keyboard can sync with up to five Bluetooth devices at once

Site default logo image

Satechi has released a pair of new wireless keyboards with support for up to five different Bluetooth devices. This California-based company went along with traditional stereotypes and made the Mac/iOS version silver with white keys and the PC/Android version black with black keys.

Either keyboard can technically be used with any device that supports Bluetooth keyboards, but you’ll want to pair them up with the types of devices they were intended for to take advantage of the OS-specific keys. For example, the Mac/iOS version features lock button, home button, and spotlight search keys for iDevices.

At just 0.7-inches thick, it is pretty much the same size as the standard Apple keyboard. But the Satechi’s killer feature is the ability to be synced with up to five unique Bluetooth accessories at any given time. That means you can seamlessly go from typing on your Mac to your iPad, to your iPhone, to your Apple TV, to your — never mind, I’m sure you get the idea. I have the Logitech K811 backlit keyboard and although it only syncs with three devices, I find this feature absolutely invaluable after using it for a few short months.

Unfortunately, just like the Apple keyboard, you’ll have to supply two (AAA) batteries to power it. We recommend picking up a pack of eneloop or AmazonBasics rechargeable batteries to save yourself a few bucks and headaches down the road.

The Satechi Bluetooth Wireless Smart Keyboard is now available for $54.99 at Amazon.

Update (8/22 12:45pm): Amazon also has the Belkin Hands-Free Bluetooth Car Kit for $29.55 (orig. $80).

Review: Omaker MOMI Ultra Portable Metallic Mini Wireless Bluetooth Speaker in Pink or Blue: $16 (Orig. $80)

Site default logo image

Amazon is offering the Omaker Ultra Portable Metallic Mini Wireless Bluetooth Speaker in Pink or Blue for only $15.99 Prime shipped when you use the coupon code: VBM26USJ at checkout. That’s a $64 savings off the list price and the lowest we’ve seen for the speaker.

Omaker sent us a review unit this week and it works darn well for a $16 speaker.

Their words:

It has a metallic finish with simple design. It features Bluetooth 3.0+EDR and it’s “unique and compact ostrich egg fashion appearance slips easily into your bag for use on the go.” It’s high definition and surprising fullness realized through a 4W driver and bass port – outclassing other similar-sized portable speakers. Built-in big capacity Polymer Lithium Batteries allow for a playback time of up to 8 hours.

Ours:

Is it going to give something like Logitech’s Boom line a run for its money?  No, not at all. But it is pretty nice and a nice accessory for a mobile device. It pairs easily and it actually says in broken english “MOMI IS WAITING FOR YOUR CONNECTION” and then confirms your connection. Then when you lose connection, more broken English.

It sounds a little bit better than the speakers on a MacBook Pro and yet it can fit in your pocket and make speakerphone calls very nicely though we heard an echo in our testing).  It has lasted over 5 hours in our brief testing.

It received 4.6/5 stars and great reviews from Amazon customers. We’re in agreement. If you need a speaker and have $16 to spend, then go for it!

New LED laden shower head packs a waterproof Bluetooth speaker

Site default logo image

If you have ever wanted to bring your favorite tunes to the shower with you, there is a new option coming to the marketplace. The Shower Speaker combines a built-in rechargeable Bluetooth speaker with a rainfall shower head design. This IndieGoGo project aims to combine these two previously separate items into a complete body cleansing, bass pumping experience.

The Shower Speaker features an LED backlit system which changes colors as the temperature of your shower rises, allowing you to visually see when the water is at your desired temperature. The speaker portion of the shower head is detachable, so it can also be used as a listening option away from the bathroom as well. Installation is similar to other shower heads already on the market, The Shower Speaker fits any standard 1/2-inch shower setup.

There are many other Bluetooth-enabled waterproof options, but this is the first we’ve seen that physically combines the shower head with a speaker.  For $90 shipped, you’ll be able to be one of the first to own The Shower Speaker, which currently has an estimated delivery of January 2015. If you are in need of a solid waterproof, we recommend the highly-rated ECOXGEAR ECOXBT Rugged and Waterproof Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, which is available from Amazon for $87 shipped.

Introducing the OM/ONE: The world’s first floating Bluetooth speaker

Site default logo image

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCfhdmC7oMY

The OM/One was developed by world class industrial designers and audio engineers to produce sound with no external distortion. By using the force of magnetic levitation, the speaker actually floats about an inch off its base, allowing you to spin it around in mid-air while listening to the audio.

In a world filled with speakers that look and sound the same, OM/ONE is a paradigm shift. Designed by a team of world class industrial designers and audio engineers, OM/ONE is as functional as it is beautiful.

It has 15 hours of runtime, 110db output from a 3 watt speaker, and a built-in speaker for conference calling. It features Bluetooth 4.0 that allows you to change tracks and control volume from up to 33 ft. away. It can also be taken with you and used as a portable speaker. Unfortunately, it charges by a conventional cord only and not when its in mid-air as we hoped.

If you don’t think you can wait for its release, Om Audio has launched a crowdfunding campaign on their website where you can preorder the Om/One for $179. When it hits shelves in 2015 it will have a $199 price tag and will have different color options as well.

Logitech introduces new Audio Adapter for Bluetooth pairing with any speakers

Site default logo image

Logitech has recently introduced its new Bluetooth Audio Adapter, which enables simple Bluetooth pairing with an existing speaker system. The tiny audio streaming device comes with multipoint Bluetooth technology allowing it to talk to multiple devices at once and will connect to any speaker system with RCA or 3.5mm inputs.

The Bluetooth Audio Adapter’s mini form factor (2 x 2 x 1-inches) is just big enough to house the split left and right RCA and stereo 3.5mm output jacks, along with the AC connection.

There is also a small square button on the top of the unit for pairing a device up for the first time. According to Logitech, the Audio Adapter will automatically re-establish Bluetooth connection without the need to manually use the pairing function again. As far as range goes, Logitech’s spec sheet states it will work at up to 50 feet.

While a quick Amazon search pulls up a listing for $50 + $5 shipping, the unit can readily be found for $40 shipped on both Amazon and directly from Logitech.
