The up side

The ability to play streamed music and audio wireless using the ubiquitous Bluetooth technology is the coolest part of the Soundfreaq Sound Stack speaker system. This will be happy news to all those couch potatoes who would be able to play their favorite songs. And, it gets even better with the serious audio technology packed inside the small unit that makes audio sound bigger than what one would expect otherwise from a portable pair of docking speakers. The Sound Stack also adds a nice touch by providing a universal USB charging port, which is a minor feature but an important one in today’s digital world. It is also Android and Blackberry friendly making it easily adoptable by a wider group of consumers. Another upside is its ability to stream and play lose less AAC formatted songs that might please the audiophiles out there.

The down side

The wireless range of the Sound Stack is limited to 33 ft, at that distance the sound quality can be seriously affected and the connectivity may drop. This might not sound like a problem for many of us, but for those living in huge mansions, this might sound like a limitation. Many may find the price to be on the higher side, at this cost one would be able to find plenty of other options to choose from.

Our experience

The cool Sound Stack Bluetooth wireless technology is something we looked forward to and the above average sound quality emanating from such a small piece of unit is just unbelievable. Compatibility with Android and Blackberry devices make it inevitable for us to place these pair of speakers among the top contenders in the portable docking speaker segment. We could not find any noticeable difference in the sound quality of audio when iPad or the iPod was placed on the docking directly and when the music was streamed wireless.

The bottomline

The price may be a little steep, the package may be a little tiny but the performance and cool quotient of wireless streaming is larger than life. With its wireless range extending up to 33 ft, it will give enough room for most users to be able to stay mobile and stream music from their compatible Bluetooth enabled devices. Any technology enthusiast who is also an audiophile would love to own one of these speakers with a certainty of contentment for the price paid.
