New Wireless Bluetooth Speakers Are Finally Affordable

by Terrence O'Brien on January 8, 2008 at 02:30 PM

Bluetooth Speakers for the Masses
The world is going wireless. Whether it's Wi-Fi or WiMax, or Bluetooth, wires are going the way of Britney Spear's career. ArtDio, after dabbling in wireless audio last year, has embraced this trend whole-heartedly, adding a trio of Bluetooth-enabled speaker sets to its line up.

The BT-132 is a portable stereo Bluetooth set up that can be powered by either 4 AA batteries or an AC adapter. The 132 also includes a built-in microphone so that when a call comes in on your paired mobile phone, the music stops, allowing you to use the BT-132 as a speaker phone. This whole package will come in at around $70.

For only $10 more the BT-328 builds on features of the 132 by beefing up the sound with a subwoofer and larger speakers. The 328 also features a very cool rounded design with a wrap-around speaker grill. The 328 isn't quite as portable, though, and lacks a battery bay (so it must always be plugged in).

The BT-326 is another $10 bump over the 328, and adds an LCD alarm clock and an FM radio. Unfortunately it lacks the sleek styling of many of ArtDio's other speaker systems.
