Logitech Adds to Pure-Fi Speaker Range With Bluetooth Mobile Version
12:00AM Gizmodo US Edition | Logitech’s Pure-Fi Mobile will apparently “transform your low-fidelity mobile-phone audio into high-fidelity, stereophonic sound.” You leave your mobile phone in your pocket while streaming music over Bluetooth to the speaker module, using A2DP protocol for higher-fidelity sound. With four speakers it should be able to pump out an appreciable volume, and it also has dual mics (one for ambient cancellation, one voice) so works as a speakerphone too. There’s also a standard line-in jack for lower-tech connectivity and its rechargeable batteries will give 12 hours of tunes, with USB power as backup if that’s not enough. Available June for US$149.99. Full press release below. AU: This will retail for $229 locally and will be available in June. More »
