Damson Bluetooth NFC Stereo Speakers
- Left-right stereo separation in portable Bluetooth speakers? IT’S ALL TRUE!
- Speakers are pre-paired: you just connect to one of them and it splits the signal to the other one
- Does that NFC thing, for you Android users
- Downward-firing structure means they sound best on a sturdy surface with some give, like wood or glass, not concrete or a blanket
- Model: DAIDT05
An unstereotypical pair of stereo speakers.
Remember how stereo was the biggest thing to hit music since the wax cylinder? For 50 or 60 years, stereo has steadily driven mono toward extinction. The entirety of commercial music radio moved from mono-only AM to stereo FM. Classic mono-era albums were remixed and replaced by simulated stereo versions. And stereo TV was the HD of the 1980s, the big step forward that sold a lot of TVs. Everybody agreed: anything worth listening to was only worth listening to in stereo.
Then portable Bluetooth speakers came along and we were all “Never mind!”
The convenience of wireless, portable sound made us forget all about the enhanced separation and expanded sound field of stereo. It seemed so cool to be able to stream our tunes wirelessly wherever we went, we didn’t see that the listening experience was equivalent to a transistor radio in 1975.
It doesn’t have to be this way. You can have stereo sound and Bluetooth convenience. This pair of Damson Jet Bluetooth Speakers are the first ones we’ve found with wireless stereo sound, not only from the source to the speakers, but between the left and right speakers.
No wires to trip up your journey through that sound field. No complicated pairing to struggle with. You connect your source to one of the speakers and it splits the signal into a left and right channel itself. If you’ve got an Android device, it can do that NFC tap-to-connect thing, too.
There’s just one caveat: you have to make sure they’re on the right surface. See, instead of reverberating a traditional paper cone, these speakers send the sound downward at whatever surface they’re standing on. So, like a ukulele, they sound best when their reverberations bounce off a surface with a little give, but not too much. Like a wooden desk. Or a glass shelf. Or a wooden picnic table. Anything too soft or too hard knocks their bass/treble thing out of whack. There’s a reason you’ve never seen a ukulele made of granite. Or pillows.
Snap out of the collective amnesia about stereo. You can have both sturdy, kinda cool-looking portable Bluetooth speakers and full stereo. Now, when is somebody gonna gonna make a tablet with a slot to play my 8-tracks?
