SoundMatters Introduces Portable foxL V2 Bluetooth Speaker

Bluetooth speakers aren't nearly as popular as they once were, but for those still needing a small, portable speaker that can stream tunes directly from their BT-enabled phone, SoundMatters has a solid option. The new foxL V2 Bluetooth is a new and improved model from the similar-looking version that won praise last year, with this pocket-sized loudspeaker being dubbed the "first pocket-sized speaker good enough for an audio purist." Reportedly, the device has 3x the Bluetooth range, provides louder output (and deeper bass) and can last up to 5 hours when the battery is fully charged. It's expected to ship later this month for $199, while the non-Bluetooth foxL V2 will be available for $169.
