Re: My Computer Speakers Died
If you're looking for a nice portable speaker, I'd say go for the Desaia Beat Box. Rechargeable battery that lasts for ages, bluetooth compatible with iOS devices, with previous/next and play/pause buttons, and it has a 3.5MM input on it as well so it can also be used with devices that don't support bluetooth. For the size and the price of it, it's a great speaker. On 23/06/2013, Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net wrote: Now that's the sort of information I'm interested in, I've ordered a pair of Soundsticks 2, they're easily available on eBay. I understand that the Soundsticks have touch volume controls on the speakers so that explains why you control the volume from the computer itself, nothing wrong with that. I've only ever found 1 good set of Bluetooth Speakers and that was the Bose Sound Link and the price was quite good for a Bose product at $330.00. I'm going to try the Braven 650 Bluetooth Speaker in a few weeks, thist unit also gets very good reviews and is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible.

I set the volume fairly high on the speaker and then control the actual listening level from volume controls on my keyboard. They're nicely balances, feel solid, look good and sound great at low and high volumes. I've read that the 3rd iteration featuring bluetooth are not as good. I would like an additional input jack, but tht's not a feature. - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 12:57 AM Subject: My Computer Speakers Died Hi!
