When it comes to high quality portable speakers, there are many names out there in the market. The thing is, the selection process can be rather tricky – so why not pick one from Soundmatters? The name of the company itself is pretty self-descriptive, as Soundmatters was founded by former NASA engineer/audio legend Dr. Godehard Guenther. Recently, they announced that they will be shipping what is deemed to be the world’s slimmest, lightest high-fidelity Bluetooth Speaker, simply known as the DASH7.

The Soundmatters DASH7 happens to come in the form of an extremely flat 0.75” high wireless pocket-portable Bluetooth soundbar as well as speakerphone which will deliver huge omnidirectional sound despite coming in a thin size which will slide into the slimmest purse or jacket pocket. Is this the world’s best travel speaker? That remains to be seen, but frequent travelers who have given all sorts of different portable Bluetooth speakers a go in the past might want to check out the Soundmatters DASH7 and share their opinion on it.

Apart from that, the DASH7 will also feature a 5th generation twoofer and BassBattery for true hi-fi sound, where it is accompanied by an angled stand for direct on-axis high resolution music, which results in a great soundstage with the best stereo separation for serious music listeners. You will be able to pick it up in a choice of three colors – Vibrant Red, Arctic White, and Midnight Black.

The omnidirectional sound that it offers makes it ideal for watching movies or music videos, and it will also include a combo case and stand. The angled stand also offers even higher resolution on-axis listening, while there is a noise cancelling speakerphone that will allow you to answer incoming phone calls even while you are listening to music or movies. The asking price for the Soundmatters DASH7 stands at $249 a pop.

All right, I am quite sure that most of us would think of the lottery when the word “powerball” is spoken or read out loud. However, with the folks over at Digital Treasures, the term “PowerBall” does not have anything to do with the factor of luck at all, but rather, it would arrive in the form of a tiny, portable speaker. This tiny beat blaster can be said to be an essential item for an impromptu party or dorm room dance session. Not only is it highly portable, it is also wireless to boot, but just like how one should not judge a book by its cover, neither should we make a passing statement on how good (or lousy) a particular speaker is before it is actually released or tested out. Not only that, despite its diminutive size, you can be sure that you will be able to party late into the night as the PowerBall would be able to pump out tunes for a dozen hours on a full charge!

Brian Austin, President of Digital Treasures, shared, “We wanted to create a speaker that would outlast your next party. Long after you call it a night, the PowerBall continues to play. Don’t let the small size fool you either. The PowerBall fits into the palm of your hand making it easy to bring with you anywhere; but, the incredible sound that pulses from the speaker is simply stunning. The best speaker in its category by volume range, clarity and longevity…”

As long as you have a compatible Bluetooth-enabled device, you will be able to play nice with the PowerBall. Apart from that, you are also able to stream your favorite playlists or log onto your newest Pandora station at any time you desire. The full range mono speaker will be able to deliver clear notes and pounding rhythms, boasting of an audio output power of 1.6 Watt RMS with a 40mm driver. Since it plays nice with Bluetooth connectivity, that would mean it would arrive with a theoretical working wireless range of up to 33 feet.

Each PowerBall purchase would include a hanging strap, letting you set it up regardless of where you are at home or at the office. For $49.95 a pop, you can choose from blue, green, pink, red, black, and purple shades.

There is nothing quite like spending a day out by the beach, frolicking in the sun while having plenty of good, all-round fun. Apart from having enough snacks to go around, the entire atmosphere can also change with the introduction of great music, and this is what BOOM Movement has done with the introduction of their SWIMMER waterproof speaker. The SWIMMER waterproof speaker comes in a flexible, tail-like design that makes it highly portable, and it will connect to compatible devices via Bluetooth

The SWIMMER’s special and flexible tail design alongside waterproof capability will allow you to hook it, hang it, wrap it or grip it. Heck, you can even securely loop it around a paddle or handle bar, or choose to have it propped up on a desk, or how about this – let it hang from a laptop screen in order to enjoy an immersive listening experience. Covered by a rubberized silicone skin for superior protection regardless of how wet and wild things around it get, it has also been certified to be shock resistant and drop proof with a waterproof IPX Level 7 rating. You can remove the detachable tail and use it with an optional suction cup backing so that it can be stuck onto a range of flat surfaces and for easy mounting purposes. The SWIMMER will cost you $59.99 a pop, where it comes in Gray/Teal, Blue/Gray, Red/Gray, Teal/Gray and White/Blue color combinations.
