following to the announcement of the STREET by 50 headphones, SMS Audio also wants to have your other portable audio experience covered as well with the SMS Audio SYNC by 50 Wireless Speaker. what makes the SYNC stands out is the 50mm drivers’ position: they are located to the sides (with the speaker grill stretches partway to the top) as opposed to the usual front-facing setup, thus resulting in an omni-directional 3D stereo sound. design-wise, the SYNC resemble a boombox, but only more portable and it hooks up to your Bluetooth-enabled media sources via Bluetooth 4.0 aptX technology.
other features include touch sensing control keys, NFC for ease of pairing, 5 EQ settings, a 3.5mm auxiliary input jack for non-Bluetooth capable sources, built-in lithium-ion battery for up to 12 hours of playback, and finally, like any good Bluetooth speakers, it supports handsfree calling by doubling as a speakerphone. the package comes with a micro USB charging cable, soft cleaning cloth and a carrying case for protection when in transit. the SMS Audio SYNC by 50 Wireless Speaker starts shipping in two days time, on August 16, and has sticker of $199.95 ea. oh, yes. at the time of this writing, only one color is available and that’s what you see here: shadow black.
