Portable speakers are great but JBL has decided to make them even better by adding LEDs to their new Pulse Bluetooth portable speaker. The Pulse has an MSRP of $199 and it’s out now in Best Buy, at Sprint or at the JBL website. Anyway, the Pulse has LEDs in it that are synced to your music or you can customize the light patterns or you can choose from one of the pre-programmed lightshows or you could download more from the JBL site, so apparently you have choices when it comes to the lightshow! Battery life seems pretty good with 10 hours for music or 5 hours for music and lightshow, at leas the 10 hours for music is good anyway. I don’t know, it’s a neat idea I guess, what do you think?

50 Cent’s SMS Audio Just Announced Sync by 50 Bluetooth Headphones
So would you pay $230 for a set of Bluetooth headphones? 50 Cent thinks you will and he’s just announced Sync by 50 On-Ear Bluetooth headphones that feature Bluetooth 4.0 aptX technology. I’d certainly have to actually use them before I could judge if they’re worth that much, but I can’t afford $230 for a set of headphones that’s for sure…
Divoom Launches Onbeat-200 Bluetooth Speaker
As promised, here’s another quick PR product launch and this one is in my favorite category, Bluetooth speakers. I find these types of speakers very useful, I think it’s since I got my PS Vita really as the speakers just aren’t that loud so I like to use and external speaker with it. So anyway, Divoom has just launched the Onbeat-200 which is of course a Bluetooth speaker that’s only about three inches in size making it very portable. Unlike other small portable speakers this one actually offers stereo sound form two 50mm drivers. There’s a rechargeable battery built-in that should supply up to four hours of musical enjoyment, but you can use it as a speakerphone and the battery should last up to eight hours for that. Price is $79.90 and it’s out now..

50 Cent’s SMS Audio Launches SYNC by 50 Bluetooth Wireless Speaker
I’m sure I’ve heard 50 Cent’s music as it drives by my house and rattles my windows, but I’m not a fan a that type of music, but he has his own mobile audio product line and I didn’t know that. I wouldn’t judge his product by his music, so I’ll give them a shot. Sadly though they are out of my price range. The latest product he’s introduced is the Sync by 50 Bluetooth wireless speaker and from the specs and features it looks to be a decent product, at least on paper as it were. The price for the Sync by 50 is $199.95 and it includes lithium ion battery, micro USB charging cable, cleaning cloth and a carrying case.
Mobility Digest Review: Global Hawk Portable Bluetooth Speaker / MP3 Player
So I’m back with another review for you, and then I’ll have another in a day or two actually. Today though I have a portable Bluetooth speaker, but it’s much more than that as you’ll soon see once you keep reading the rest of the review. The speaker is from a company called Global Hawk, and was sent over for review by My Trendy Phone, I’ve never heard of Global Hawk and I’m sure you haven’t either, but I’m always up to give anything a go and overall I’m impressed by this little speaker. This speaker is very well made and it’s heavy, I mean really heavy, or at least much more than I expected it to be, it’s made of metal and plastic and just overall it’s not bad… so read on..
