Are these speakers Bluetooth 4 compatible? So many aren't but the Braven 650 speaker system I mentioned is.
Bluetooth 4.0 sounds far better than previous versions and later devices should be compatible with it, certainly iPhone 5, 2012 and later Macbook machines and Samsung Galaxy S3 and later are compatible, I'll be using a Bluetooth Speaker system with my Samsung Galaxy S3 so having something which is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible is important to me.
