Next week marks the latest Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and one of the new products already being revealed is this wireless soundbar by Soundmatters.
The technology for wireless speakers has been around for a while, and we've seen them in various manifestations before. The actual idea isn't new. However, as the technology and its applications grow, manufacturers and designers look for new ways to innovate and make it easier to use and easier to transport.
This wireless soundbar is the foxL DASH 7 pocket-portable Bluetooth speaker (which may make the product's name bigger than the actual product itself.) It includes a noise cancelling technology and measures just 0.7 inches tall and 7.1 ounces in weight. This wireless soundbar is so small, you might just forget where all that sound is coming from.
