As much as I adore the earphones on the
Sony Ericsson W810i, the audio experience can hardly be compared with one from a standalone speaker. Me? I like to share my music. Though the colleagues don't always appreciate it.
MP3 phones are getting popular, but hooking them up to conventional speakers isn't always easy. Phone technology is getting too advanced; while a 3.5mm audio jack is not standard for a mobile phone, Bluetooth connectivity is. The opposite can be said for loudspeakers; the industry is still teething when it comes to Bluetooth.
The i.Tech Music Master does the linking by supporting both A2DP (stereo audio streaming) and AVRCP (remote control access) Bluetooth profiles, letting the user pair his music-playing handset to the speakers. The Music Master is also good as a handsfree set and, with 600 hours of music playback, Sam can definitely play it again… and again.
