Product: Sound Freaq SFQ-01 Sound Platform
Price: $199 (discounted to $180, sometimes less)
What It’s Good For: Powerful sound with no wires. It will receive a signal from any device that can deliver audio via Bluetooth Class 2.0 (most modern devices, including laptops), and serve as a dock for iPhone, iPod touch, iPod classic and iPod nano.
Who It’s Good For: Music lovers (but not audiophiles) who want clean sound and simple wireless operation.
Limitations: Dock only works with Apple products, but why use the dock when you can go wireless? Also, the flashing amber light might annoy some people.
Bottom Line: If you haven’t experienced Bluetooth music listening yet, this “Sound Platform” will serve as a worthy introduction. It instantly turns your mobile device into a sophisticated remote control, playing music that sounds surprisingly good.
