At first glance, the Nokia MD-12 Bluetooth mini speaker looks pretty diminutive and unintimidating. Weighing in at 180 grams, it's about the size of an apple, but its real bite lies in its sound system.
Most small speakers require users to accept compromising on sound quality, particularly when it comes to the bass frequencies. This is where the Nokia MD-12 stands out. This speaker has a built-in vibrating actuator located on the bass, and delivers hard-hitting bass when placed on most surfaces, particularly hard ones. Placing the speaker on different kinds of surfaces results in different kinds of bass sounds.
When fully charged, the Nokia MD-12 speaker offers 15 hours of playback, more than enough for the most ravenous party animal. Aside from delivering plenty of boom and bite, the Nokia MD-12 is also versatile enough to be used as a speakerphone for people who want to be able to work and stay connected on the go.
