Yamaha launches NX-B02 portable Bluetooth speaker
Posted by Ben on Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008 at 5:55 pm under Bluetooth, Hardware, The Digital Life
Yamaha is launching this little bad boy on the market - with 10 watts of power behind it! It can connect with Bluetooth, or via 3.5mm jack (for mp3 players and the like). Apparently the Amp and Bass unit are "pretty good" (my terminology, not theirs!), and you can juice up your aural pleasure-o-meter via batteries or good old AC adaptor. Now here's the kicker - it's £179.95 RRP….
…. does anybody think that's a touch steep? I mean, I have been thinking about wireless speakers for the living room, due to my wife's "no visible wires policy" to any technology I might buy -but I have been looking around for wireless stereo speakers (i.e. 2 little portable chappies), and the RF transmission-fed units are coming out around £60-100. Granted, the audio fidelity might not quite be there, but then I'd still be 2-3x cheaper than this unit…. with the spare cash in my pocket!
Come on people, lend me your thoughts - audio-winner or cheeky-expensive? Votes please!

That does seem a bit steep for what you get. I'd prefer a system that has at least two speakers that you can spread out.
