‘BOS Bluetooth speakers are the best’

No one does it better than BOS

BUSINESS Optimization Systems (BOS) arguably has the best wireless Bluetooth speakers in the country and the region.

The systems integrator of telecommunication solutions’ Bluetooth technology enables one to share music and files one their traveling wirelessly with friends, these speakers provide a top quality listening experience while not using any wires. As far as wireless technologies go, BOS’ Bluetooth speakers offer a compelling performance.

The speakers have wedge design, such that when it sits on a flat surface, the front speaker is tilted upwards.

This makes for less fuss when it comes to placement. The sound projects towards you when you place it on a desk. But even when you walk away, the sound projection remains relatively unaffected.

There is a selector knob for you to turn the machine on, and doing so turns on Bluetooth mode instantly. This knob is placed beside the volume and playback controls. All the controls are located on a tiny ledge above the front speaker grill.

The speakers are reasonably priced. More important than the look and build is the sound, and judging from my brief demo the BOS speaker is likely the best-sounding speaker in the country. That’s apparently all thanks to what’s called a two-way active system, meaning that amplifiers are built into the speakers — two in fact, one for each pair of woofer and tweeter. This helps better assign the different frequencies of music to the right parts of the speaker, resulting in better sound.

Whatever it’s doing, it works. I listened to a handful of different tracks from a few different genres: one from The Weeknd and his alt-R&B, some bassy hip-hop from Kendrick Lamar, a standard rock-and-roll track from Tom Petty, and some punk rock from PUP. Everything came through full and clear, and all the music sounded much better than I expected from a portable Bluetooth speaker. The bass in Lamar’s “Swimming Pools (Drank)” didn’t muddy up his vocals. I could hear piano parts in Petty’s “Here Comes My Girl” that would be inaudible on most ‘cheap’ speakers. For lack of a better way to describe it, there was space in between all the sounds coming out of the speaker, whereas most others tend to crush all the different frequencies together.

The new speaker will also do some of the stuff we’ve come to expect from pricier Bluetooth speakers like Beats. When fully charged it last longer.

Many people interview this week said BOS’s wireless Bluetooth speakers, were portable, have the best sound quality, wireless connectivity, built-in rechargeable battery, can be used as a radio and for conference calls. They also have metal designs.

Portable Bluetooth speakers there days more than just devices that amplify your music on the go. They are packed with plenty of unique features, such as a pairing mode which offers stereo music playback across two speakers, to woo consumers. Some smaller ones also offer hands-free functions, so that drivers can keep them in the car to answer and make calls.

There are water- and splash-proof ones for outdoor use, while the higher-end ones have apps for users to tweak the sound to their liking.
