Hasta La Gadget!

SuperTooth has been around for some time already, and they did grace CES 2013 with their fair share of products, although those devices were not available back in January, but it is pretty nice to know that a trio of devices are now readily available for purchase, and they are the Disco Twin, the HD Voice, and the Disco 2 Colors, which happen to be stereo speakers sold in pairs, an in-car speakerphone with the ability to converse in a dozen languages, and an aptX-streaming mono speaker, respectively.

The Disco Twin will retail for $199 a pop, although each set comprises of two units, which are a pair of portable, rechargeable speakers that feature true right/left stereo, and individual units come equipped with 16 watts RMS audio power, accompanied by double speakers located in front and a high efficiency bass reflex system at the back, and they will work in tandem to deliver a combined 32 watts of pure sound. Music too, can be streamed sans wires from any Bluetooth-enabled device to the Disco Twin. All users need to do is pair their Bluetooth device to both speakers, and you’re good to go. Its integrated rechargeable batteries should be able to last from 3 to 4 hours continuously.

As for the $89 HD Voice, this will be a Bluetooth hands-free car kit that boasts of instant installation, all you need to do is clip it to the sun visor in the car, and pair it with any compatible Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone, and you will be able to make hands-free calls regardless of the ride that you arrive in.

Last but not least, the Disco 2 Colors would be a $99 Bluetooth speaker that churns out 16 watts RMS audio power, sporting a couple of speakers in front as well as a bass reflex system on the back, and will arrive in white, pink, blue, red and green colors. As long as your device supports Bluetooth A2DP, the Disco 2 will be able to stream music sans wires.

Out of the three, which suits you best?

SuperTooth launch their new Disco Twin pair of Bluetooth stereo speakers here at CES 2013, and today at ShowStoppers, we ended up getting our hands on the pair. The two speakers come together in the package, and they’re about the size of a tall glass of beer. It’s a stereo pair, so one speaker is the left channel and the other the right.

The company had originally promised that its previous Disco 2 speaker would have A2DP technology that would allow two speakers to work together to achieve stereo audio, but that didn’t happen. However, the company introduced the Disco Twin, which offers a pair of speakers with, not A2DP, but Bluetooth, with the left-sided speaker being the master speaker.

Each speaker provides 16 watts of RMS power combine for a total of 32 watts. The Disco Twin speakers feel surprisingly robust, and they have plenty of weight to them so that they won’t slide around easily on your desk or shelves. However, the cloth covering surrounding the speakers seem a bit fragile, and could easily tear if you’re not careful.

Either way, the speakers provides excellent volume, and even in the crowded and loud ballroom, the speakers were crisp and clear, and were plenty loud with even a few notches left to go before it hit level 10. The Disco Twin is priced at $199 and general availability is said to be starting in February.

[CES 2013] When it comes to a pair of speakers on your desk, and you are running a tight ship without being able to splurge, just what kind of options would you have? Well, Supertooth intends to let you live the wireless lifestyle with the Disco Twin Bluetooth speakers, where this pair of stereo speakers will not hurt your wallet at $199 while offering more than just a decent performance – on paper, at least. Watch the video above and you will get what I mean.

The Supertooth Disco Twin Bluetooth speakers are a pair of portable, rechargeable speakers that boast of true right/left stereo, where individual units will come equipped with 16 watts RMS audio power, accompanied by double speakers in front as well as a high efficiency bass reflex system at the back. These will be paired together for a combined 32 watts of pure sound, and you are able to stream music directly sans wires from any Bluetooth-enabled device to the Disco Twin. It is said that the integrated rechargeable batteries are able to deliver anywhere from 3 to 4 hours of non-stop, maximum-volume music, and if you do not want to bring the roof down and have the cops knock on your door due to a neighbor’s complaint, it should be good for up to 10 hours of moderately played tunes.

SuperTooth has announced a pair of new Bluetooth speakers. The models include the Disco Twin and the HD-Voice with the former being a pair of speakers offering left/right stereo and the latter being an in-car hands-free model. Both models are set to debut during CES 2013, however we have yet to see a firm release date for either model.

That being said, lets kick things off with the Disco Twin. This speaker, or more accurately, this set of speakers is designed to offer true right / left stereo. The speakers each have 16 watts of RMS audio power and feature double speakers in the front along with a bass reflex system in the back. Given each speaker is 16 watts, the total combined will be 32 watts. The Disco Twin speakers should be able to offer up to 3 to 4 hours of non-stop music playback or up to 10 hours of “moderately played tunes.”

NOTE: Final photos of the devices will be coming soon, and we’ll certainly be bringing you some awesome hands-on presentations during CES next week as well!

In terms of the HD-Voice, this one is designed for in-car use and will bring features to include the ability to announce callers in 12 languages as well as announce the battery level, connection status and GPS instructions. The HD-Voice will have a pair of speakers and a pair of microphones which sound help with the sound quality both coming and going.

The Disco Twin speakers will sell (in pairs) for $199 and the HD-Voice will be selling for $89. And in addition to SuperTooth showing off the Disco Twin and HD-Voice speakers during CES, the company will also have their other products including the recently announced Melody headphones and the Disco 2 and Disco hands-free car kits.

Have a peek at the timeline below to check our exciting history with the SuperTooth family and get an idea of what’s to come!

There are three different ways you’re going it give the gift of audio this holiday season, the first being the massive amount of smart devices out there with their own external speaker – so many do these days that it’s taken for granted – see: all of the smartphones, notebooks, and tablets we’ve worked with for several years – they’re all able to play music, imagine that! The second way you’re going to give the gift of audio is with speakers galore, starting with the Jawbone BIG Jambox and/or the Jawbone Jambox standard edition – or with custom color combinations if you wish with the company’s new “The Remix” initiative – it’s fun stuff!

Stand-alone speakers are almost always a good gift for that random person in your life in need of a “just because” gift: check the iFrogz Boost Nearfeild audio speaker for example. If you’ve got a smartphone, not even necessarily if you’ve got an iPhone, your gift receiver will be amazed at the hot sound enhancement that occurs with this fabulous unique technology. We also suggest you take a peek at House of Marley for some bright and fabulous audio equipment – see their showing in our Redemption Song on-ear headphones review as well as our review of the massive Bag of Rhythm. Noone else will have those gifts to give at your party, you can bet!

Other highly approved stand-alone speakers we’ve had a peek at and enjoyed include, first, the SuperTooth Disco 2 – the original Disco and the Disco 2 remain out and about in our office on the regular. They’re out because they’re extremely simple to use and they’re both compact in shape – they’re just that nice. The Libratone Zipp has been an entirely reliable speaker made to work first and foremost with wireless commands from your iPhone or iPad.

Another of the most unique and creative of speakers we’ve got here is HiddenRadio – a speaker that connects to your smartphone (if you wish) then plays music louder or softer based on how high or low the knob is on the device. For those of you who want to go just about as wireless as a non-battery device will bring you, you’ll want to see the Sonos collection for music in your home – and stay tuned to SlashGear for a review of the Sonos SUB – it’s bumping right now for real.

For those of you that don’t want to spend too much cash but do want to afford a pair of headphones rather than a tiny pair of earbuds, there’s always the greatness of Tenqa Remxd – a hot ticket indeed for very, very few dollars from you. Moving up the scale as far as headphone quality goes we’ve got (in no particular order), Marshall Major Pitch Black headphones, ThinkSound ms01 monitor series earbuds, the Jabra Supreme-UC Bluetooth headset (wireless greatness), and don’t forget the Monster Inspiration Active Noise Cancellation Headphones – they’re beastly!

The folks at Plantronics have been hitting it correct this year with gems such as the BackBeat Go wireless earbuds and the lovely Plantronics m55 bluetooth headset to kick up the market in the quality sector. This year Apple also revealed their own new and updated pair of earbuds called Apple Earpods – they drown your eardrums in lovely warm sound! The team at V-MODA has been coming correct this year too with such beasts as the V-MODA Limited Edition Crossfade LP2 headphones as well as the slightly newer and slightly smaller V-MODA Crossfade M-80 White Pearl headphones – both are powerful and made with extra high-quality materials to boot!
