Hasta La Gadget!

You have a brand new iPad and you’re enjoying some streaming Netflix or a movie you’ve loaded up on the device yourself, but the iPad’s built-in speaker just doesn’t cut it for you. Perhaps you’re traveling, on a plane or a train, and you want a way to watch video and hear the audio from it without fiddling with headphone cables or bothering everyone around you. Enter the new iSkin Cerulean line of Bluetooth audio gear for the iPad. The Cerulean TX transmitter, RX receiver, and F1 headphones are designed to give you portable Bluetooth audio that looks good without cables or batteries.

The only drawback to the Cerulean line is that it all relies on Bluetooth for audio, which may be great for portability but it’s pretty harsh on audio quality. Most Bluetooth audio peripherals compress the audio stream enough that it’s noticeable even to non-audiophiles, and true audiophiles won’t go near it. However, if portability and flexibility are your goal, the iSkin’s Cerulean transmitters and receivers not only give you a way to get wireless audio from your iPad to your ears, they also work with other speaker docks and peripherals that can make the most of the compressed audio.
