Shox Spin Portable Speaker - Red / Black - Boxed - on sale in Chatsworth, KwaZulu-Natal for sale

The Spin is a lot more sophisticated than the mini. It doesn’t fold up, and at 30-odd centimetres long it’s a lot less pocketable, but it has much better audio quality and Bluetooth to let you stream from across the room.
The Spin is a stereo speaker (unlike the mono mini), but with 3cm speaker drivers about 4cm apart, you’re not going to get a soundstage the size of the Albert Hall. Why Shox bothered with stereo is anyone’s guess, rather just bridge it and go mono. It still gets pretty loud, and produces a tight bass response thanks to the oval passive driver on the back — that, plus a little bit of gain from the surface it’s on.
That was my first question — why put little rubber foots on the side of the long end, and not also on the short end to let you stand it vertically as a space-saver? That would be great for a cluttered desk. Turns out you lose a lot of bass if you put it upright. Table gain, as it were.
The Shox Spin works as a full Bluetooth headset — yes, its got a small microphone that’s reasonably sensitive. Pairing it is straightforward, or you can hook it up via the supplied mini-jack cable. You may even prefer to use the wired connection — sound quality and loudness were distinctly better than with Bluetooth.
It has a built-in battery, recharged via a mini-USB plug (minor fail, I would have preferred to see a micro-USB plug, now pretty much ubiquitous). If you have the Spin cranked to full volume you do get a bit of hiss coming through when power is plugged in.
The Shox Spin even works as a full Bluetooth headset — yes, its got a small microphone that’s reasonably sensitive. It can even make a tolerable room conference system for a small business if you can’t afford the long bucks for a Polycom setup. Pairing it is straightforward, or you can hook it up via the supplied mini-jack cable. You may even prefer to use the wired connection — sound quality and loudness were distinctly better than with Bluetooth
Let's face the facts here folks, the tinny shrill emanating from your laptop during the final action scene of an epic just ain't cool. You, sir, madame... you deserve better. Enter shoX spin, the most awesomest (poetic license) speaker yet.
