SuperTooth Disco 2: The speaker of the house

MANILA, Philippines - Listen: A little awesome, toothsome electronic device has been rocking the local scene. I daresay it’s bound to take the country by storm soon.  Of course, we’re referring to the SuperTooth Disco 2 speaker that works with all laptops, smartphones, tablets, and mobile devices that support such wireless audio transmission technology.

How little? It’s small enough to grasp with one hand, just right and light to the touch. It can easily fit into my big tote, which I always carry around, along with my assorted humongous clutter. It’s so portable and travel-friendly you can take it with you to the office and to your next conference out of town or even to the beach.

How awesome? Hear this: The Disco 2 Bluetooth A2DP speaker’s got 16 watts of clear, crisp sound that reigns supreme even in a vast, cavernous room or the wide open air. The SuperTooth’s super sound quality can be technically explained by the fact that it’s got two powerful speakers in front and a high-efficiency bass-radiator at the back of the unit. Thus, the maker of this live-wire gadget, SuperTooth France, warns that cranking up the volume at close range is not for the faint of heart. What’s more, SuperTooth Disco 2 is so super it preserves the quality of audio files and optimizes them as they’re streamed from any device that supports Apt-X audio enhancement protocol technology.

Right now, I’m in my sister’s home in Sucat, Parañaque and from the kitchen where I’m having a nightcap of cold milk and warm chocolate chip cookies, I can hear what sounds like a live concert happening in the living room. Why, it’s my two nieces chilling out after a long hard week at work and listening to their favorite songs — Give Me a Reason by Pink, Only You by Cee Lo Green, Love Somebody by Maroon 5 — on their iPhone 5. Of course, taking center stage with Pink, Cee Lo Green, and Maroon 5 is the super-duper  Disco 2 Bluetooth A2DP speaker. Now, you can bring that live concert experience right into your living room (but make sure you don’t disturb the other people in the house or the neighbors). Or in your car while listening to music on your smartphone (but make sure you’re not the one driving as it may distract you). Get a lot more booming, adrenaline-pumping action while you’re playing your favorite games on your laptop.

Sharing your music with your friends? Heave a sigh of relief as there will be no more music interrruptions. This wireless speaker can keep the party on full blast with up to 10 hours of playing time (now, that’s enough partying to last you a lifetime, don’t you think?) and a two-hour charge on its internal rechargeable battery.

I can hear my niece Lia gushing: “The sound is clear, loud enough but solid, hindi sabog, especially if the bass of the song is loud. With an operating range of up to 10 meters, the speaker can still handle it even if you go far. It’s my first time to hear about a Bluetooth speaker and so far, so good because I have an iPhone. It eliminates the stress of having to drag the speaker and its chords with the device when you’re moving. You can bring your phone while you’re playing music on the speaker. Like when you’re at a house party and your phone is the designated DJ (haha!), you can bring it around. And if your laptop can’t connect to it via Bluetooth, there’s an option to manually connect so that still makes it very convenient. And I like that this speaker has control buttons so you can play, pause, move to the next song or adjust the volume.”

With optimal control value, there are controls like power, volume, track forward/backward, and play/pause that can be found together on the top of the speaker while the power port for charging and the audio input port for devices that do not support Bluetooth A2DP audio transmission are conveniently found on the rear. You can use the playback controls on top of the speaker to change, pause, and start tracks on devices that support AVRCP remote control protocol.

My niece hastens to add, “It’s a good thing the battery life is three to four hours on max volume and 10 hours on medium volume. When you have a party, you’re not worried about it dying on you. You can use it while charging.”

How toothsome is it? Boasting the sleekest technology and sleekest design (it’s called electronic art), SuperTooth Disco 2 is made of injected ABS plastic painted with Japan metallic flat black paint. These freestanding wireless beauties come in a variety of colors — delicious apple green, eye-candy red, pretty pink, heavenly blue, flawless white, and classic black — to match your living room, kitchen, bedroom, office desk or wherever you’re taking this versatile, go-anywhere speaker. It comes in a nice pouch, too, so you don’t need to bring a box to carry it around.

Bet you haven’t heard of anything like the SuperTooth Disco 2, truly the speaker of the house.
