    So maybe you have an audio geek in the family (or its you) and with a smart phone, a tablet, a laptop, and who knows what else one thing your lacking is a good way to hear those devices with loud, high quality audio.

    Earphones are great sometimes, but not all the time.

    Wired speakers are, also great sometimes but not all the time.

    So how about some high quality wireless speakers?

    Well they exist and here is the unboxing to precede the review to come soon.

    Awesome! Im gonna keep an eye on this thread! I love my logitech 5.1 speakers (by no means are they perfect quality but they were cheap and sound good) but there are wires everywhere throughout my room.

    Yeah the thing to keep in mind with these is they are way higher quality and more powerful than the logitech stuff.

    However not 5.1 only 2.0

    They are self powered and have both wired & wireless connection.

    Hey thanks for the review unboxing, but I must admit I got deaf once you came back to the box and unpacked that paper, my headphones decided to play louder than usual. Dear god

    Not the review just an unboxing. Been using them since the unboxing and I am very impressed. Its my favorite new device for sure.

    I use it with my Galaxy S3 to stream Pandora and Shoutcast and it really lets me enjoy listening.

    Going to start some of my filming for the review this week.

    Viscious! Nice to hear from you! I am a subscriber, and happy to hear your back with more Nuforce reviews! Since your so much into speakers these days please check out this company Swan Active Desktop Sound I own three of their speakers, the best bang for your buck will be the Swan M200MKII 2.0 Bookshelf Speakers, you think those Nuforce speakers are heavy wait until you try out and pick the Swans, what is your initial impressions of the Nuforce S3-BT? How is your Nuforce cube holding out?

    I was using that cube every day at work with my phone till I got these, now I use them instead.

    So far the only bad thing is that I use a bluetooth mouse and the speakers & mouse both paired at the same time cause issues, so I pair the speakers to my phone instead.

    I just saw a "cheap" rip off of the cube on tv for like $12.00 its only 1" in size has no DAC or anything like that but I want to try it out to compare lol.

    But yes the S3BT are great, we used them tonight for the company christmas party and it was loud enough to fill a big banquet room with sound and I was able to run them from my phone while at one of the tables, so I was basically able to DJ while still being in the party.
