We do our best to engage with you by sharing what’s interesting or grabbing our attention at the moment. PS Audio has always been a very vocal and communicative company. I suppose the answer involves the way we communicate with our community. You, my dear reader, might be wondering why the heck am I bringing this to your attention at all. It does seem a bit of a stretch to assume I am interested in socks. Secondly, I imagine they hope the oddity of two disparate words-bamboo and sock-would be enough to get me to click on the email. On the one hand, I guess they are banking on the fact everyone wears socks. The bigger question for me is what these people are thinking and why they are sending it to me. Let’s ignore for the moment the fact I haven’t a clue what a bamboo sock might be.
THODIO IBOX XC REVIEW BLUETOOTH
If you're looking for a Bluetooth audio system for your home or office, the B2 is definitely worth consideration.One of the more consistent product pitches I receive in my SPAM box is for bamboo socks. The B2 is easily one of the best-sounding speakers I've tested in this price range. Balanced playback with bright mid and treble reproduction.Elegant, sophisticated cabinetry and compact design.
Audioengine's tried to take the sting out of it a little bit by offering an "audition" - if you buy the B2 directly from them, you have 30 days to return it if it doesn't live up to your expectations. Still, $299 is a fair investment for most of us to make in audio gear for our Macs and iPhones.
THODIO IBOX XC REVIEW PORTABLE
While their features are different (the SoundLink sports a battery and is portable the Play 3 is part of Sonos' whole-house music system), I fully expect the B2 to come out ahead in the sound department. Other speakers in the same price range include Bose's SoundLink III and Sonos's Play 3. The solid construction helps the speaker perform at louder volumes without distortion This isn't a battery-powered gadget: It sports an AC cable to connect to a wall outlet, so it's ready to sit on your desk or bookshelf. The B2 may be wireless in name, but it's not entirely wire-free - and it's too heavy to be a portable speaker, anyway. I mentioned an auxiliary mini-jack audio cable at the outset that's for connecting devices that don't work over Bluetooth, so if you have an old CD player or a less-sophisticated digital music player you'd like to connect, you're in luck: There's an open mini-jack input on the back to accommodate you. Bass will distort when it gets too heavy or too loud. Like many small speaker systems I've tested, I find the B2s push mids more than anything. There's no DSP trickery in here, just clean reproduction. If you're looking for a lot of bass-heavy reproduction - I hear that's what the kids like nowadays - you'll probably be a bit disappointed. It's not bass-heavy, though the vertical ports provide a little bit of bass resonance that helps add a bit of meat to the sound. Overall, the B2 offers a clean, flat response. It's powerful for a little desktop speaker: Even with the B2 set at half-volume, as I did during my test, it cranked loud enough that I had to yell to be heard by someone in the same room. The speaker array is bisected by a couple of long ports. A 30 W per channel amp (60 W total) is connected to two 2.75-inch Kevlar woofers and two 3/4-inch silk dome tweeters.
