Las Vegas,January 5, 2015: 808 Audio, one of the fastest growing and top performing audio brands in NPD tracking, unveils the newest headphone and speaker additions to their line-up. The new products feature top-shelf audio and stylish designs that were developed and tuned by 808 Audio to provide a high level of performance and design at affordable prices. The additions to the line bring new features, mostly reserved for $100-plus competitors, to the sub $100 level making accessibility to the masses easier than ever.
“There is no better value line of Bluetooth speakers or headphones than what 808 has produced this year”, states Senior Vice President of 808 Audio, Ian Geise. “We offer to consumers a line of products that compares to brands that are two and three times the price, and the retail community has responded very favorably.”
The XS, $59.99, is a Bluetooth wireless speaker that features a pocket-size cabinet with a high-end look. 808’s XS features full stereo sound, an enhanced bass radiator, and an efficient 12 hours of rechargeable battery life. 808 has also simplified the user experience through extensive research to provide One-Button simple operation for all key functions such as power on/off and pairing a device. The speaker can be used in Bluetooth audio mode, and features an auxiliary input for 3.5 mm connection.
The NRG GLO Bluetooth wireless speaker is small, compact yet full of power, much like an energy drink can. It features rich sound with an enhanced bass radiator in the base of the unit and is the perfect companion for on-the-go listening. The rechargeable battery allows for 12 hours of non-stop dance or pop tracks to keep the party going. The one-of-a-kind feature is the Glow button that allows you to put on your own light show from a glow mode, to “breathe mode” or even dance party mode that flashes to the beat of the music. 808 Audio has packed all of these features into a very attractive price point at $59.99.
