I gave high marks to the original SuperTooth Disco bookshelf speaker when it dropped into stores last year, but I took issue with its inability to travel and of course, the lack of true stereo sound.
This year, the company will take to
CES again to announce a portable listening solution called the Disco Twin that includes two separate speakers, giving you option to perch them wherever you like.
Wireless Bluetooth channels stream music to each device powered by 16 watts of audio juice, and the company's legacy "bass reflex system" in the back keep the low frequencies nice and smooth.
SuperTooth rates the battery life at 3-4 hours if you're playing nonstop at the highest maximum volume music, but who does that? Realistically, you'll probably get about 10 hours of music at a "normal volumes."
SuperTooth will also use the show floor to show off the HD-Voice, a new speakerphone for
cars that that clips to the visor and lets you make hands-free calls using the same Bluetooth wireless streaming technology.
Of course, the device cares the most about keeping your hands free to operate the vehicle, so the speakerphone can also dictate text messages, announce incoming callers in 12 languages, and read the battery level and connection status aloud.
The Disco Twin will sell for $199 for both speakers in one box, and the HD-Voice will sell for $89 following the announcement at the show.
