The Blaster Speaker by Nixon may look suspiciously familiar, especially to those who are fans of the Beats by Dre line. That is because it greatly resembles the [Pill sound system](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beats-by-dr-dre-pill), right down to the choice of color. Granted, Nixon's version is much more brick-like, but it clearly shows that its hard to knock what works.

The first [bluetooth sound system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetooth-audio) for the company, The Blaster Speaker by Nixon is the winner of a recent ISPO award in the accessories category. With an [indestructible shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundcore-boom-3i) and superior battery life (it lasts u to 18 hours on a single charge), it is no wonder that it walked away with such an award. Nixon co-founder Chad DiNenna says, “The Blaster was realized and developed through the experience of our team of athletes and artists."
