For quite a while, the FoxL from Soundmatters was the gold standard of pocket-size speakers for its unusual sound-quality-to-size ratio. It pumped out very good sound for a speaker so small.
But the continued growth of pods, pads and phones brought new competitors, many of them proving to be worthy rivals to the FoxL. Soundmatters has introduced a new speaker called the Dash 7.
It retains the sound quality of the FoxL, packing two speakers into a slim package about the size of an iPhone stretched to one and a half times its normal length. The cover for the speaker, reminiscent of Apple's iPad covers, can be folded into a stand.
The Dash 7, which lists for $250, can be connected to an audio source with a cable or through Bluetooth. The company claims the speaker has a battery life of up to 12 hours. There is also a microphone, so the device can be used as a speaker phone. (pictures by The New York Times News Service)
