Liztek PSS-100 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker with Built in Speakerphone, 8 Hour Rechargeable Battery (Black)

So lest you think that my blog is all about cooking and beauty, a girl's gotta stay on top of tech these days too. And bluetooth speakers are all the rage these days. Because, even though they're convenient, mostly earbuds suck. At least the cheapies I'm use to. There are some very high end ones out there that can reproduce fantastic sound. And while my phone and laptop have passable speakers, they're not winning any awards for sound quality either. Hubby's tablet is passable in a pinch, but speakers as thin as a nickel aren't really cutting it for us.

Enter Liztek's awesome little bluetooth speaker, the PSS-100. I got to try this little guy for a bit now and for our devices, there's no going back to the stock speakers for media. With play, pause, skip and back buttons on the speaker, it's a cinch to control your music. Even watching a movie in bed on Hubby's Nexus is a treat. Streamed music? Tinny no more! YouTube videos? Dy-no-mite! We can even stream TV shows, again, snuggled in bed, and the days of sharing ear-buds are no more.

Retail Price Point: $36.95 via Amazon. Liztek products are carried at Costco, Fry's and BestBuy too!

But hold on, did I mention this little guy has a mic? Yup, it's also a hands free speakerphone. No more having the phone on the counter, no more wired earbuds and mic that rubs against your shirt and muffles every word. With the bluetooth 3.0 technology, we're good up to 33 feet away. I have yet to break out Hubby's tape measure to see, but we're good with my purse and phone down the hall in another room. Answer and end buttons right there on the speak too. Snazzy. I think I'm in love. Normally, gadgets are strictly hubby domain. I think he's been yoinked.

At less than 13 ounces, and less than seven inches long, and just under 2 inches wide it feels tiny, but the twin 40mm speakers will fill an average size room with full, rich sound. It has a slightly rubberized feel so there's no fear it'll slip and fall and die a horrible death on the tile floor either. It's rechargeable lithium ion battery is charged in 4 hours and is good for about 8-10 hours in optimal conditions. It also comes with a 3.5mm audio jack for those devices lacking bluetooth. There are audible notifications on connection, and while Liztek lists those as benefits, it's the one single thing I don't love about this device. It's quite jarring to hear a loud female voice saying "Connecting!". I could do without it, but it's a minor quibble overall.

The Liztek PSS-100 comes in a host of colors and has a 100% satisfaction guarantee. It also has universal connectivity with Apple, Android, and just about any devices with Bluetooth capabilities. I've so far successfully paired it with our LG phone, HTC phone, Asus laptop and Nexus tablet. That's 4 different manufacturers and zero problems. It comes packaged with a charging cable, the audio jack, and instructions. And it just looks cool too. Yup. Definitely yoinking this one. Sorry, hubby.
