Audio headphone maker Nixon has created its very first Bluetooth speaker system in the form of the compact and portable Nixon Blaster Bluetooth Speaker, which has just won an accessory award at the 2013 ISPO awards.
The Blaster Bluetooth speaker system from Nixon features an all-in-one design and is enclosed in what Nixon calls a “virtually indestructible exterior”, and I am sure that bold claim will be put to the test very soon as review units are made available.
Design and Durability
The Blaster’s design is not only sleek and modern but also highly functional. The “virtually indestructible exterior” is crafted to withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures, making it an ideal companion for athletes, travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts. The rugged build ensures that the speaker can handle drops, bumps, and even splashes, although it is always wise to check the specific water resistance rating before exposing it to water.
Battery Life and Performance
The Blaster has been fitted with a battery that is capable of powering the device for up to 18 hours on a single charge. This extended battery life means you can enjoy your favorite tunes all day long without needing to recharge. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, going on a camping trip, or just lounging at home, the Blaster’s impressive battery life ensures that the music keeps playing.
Nixon’s co-founder Chad DiNenna explained:
“The Blaster is a true reflection of seeing our ‘team-designed, custom-built’ focus at work through product and design,”-“The Blaster was realized and developed through the experience of our team of athletes and artists. We created The Blaster with this in mind and what resulted was a product that elevates the experience of what we do, wherever we do it.”
Sound Quality and Connectivity
Sound quality is a critical factor for any speaker, and the Blaster does not disappoint. It delivers clear, crisp audio with robust bass, making it suitable for a wide range of music genres. The speaker’s Bluetooth connectivity allows for easy pairing with smartphones, tablets, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, providing a seamless listening experience. Additionally, the Blaster includes an auxiliary input for wired connections, offering versatility for various audio sources.
Portability and Convenience
One of the standout features of the Blaster is its portability. The compact size and lightweight design make it easy to carry around, whether you’re heading to the beach, a picnic, or a friend’s house. The speaker also includes a built-in microphone, allowing you to take hands-free calls directly through the device. This added convenience makes the Blaster not just a speaker, but a versatile tool for everyday use.
Availability and Pricing
The Blaster will be arriving in stores during May 2013, but unfortunately, no information on pricing has been released as yet by Nixon. Given its features and the brand’s reputation for quality, it is expected to be competitively priced within the market.
The Nixon Blaster Bluetooth Speaker is shaping up to be a formidable entry into the portable speaker market. With its durable design, long battery life, excellent sound quality, and convenient features, it is poised to become a favorite among music lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Keep an eye out for its release in May 2013 to experience the Blaster for yourself.
