Orbitsound T3 - Portable Battery Powered Stereo Speaker
Posted by Jack Cook on 06/19/08 in Accessories
Here is a cool little product that I saw today that allows you to listen to stereo music on the move. No bigger than your mobile device, this sound system plugs into your device and gives the effect of “music in the air.” How is it done? The T3 uses amazing airSOUND single-point-stereo technology to power its personal stereo aura.
A feature I like is it is small enough to keep in your gear bag and when you are in the mood for listening to your music files on your device you just plug it in and you have a great portable stereo speaker system while on the move. It would be perfect on a trip with your laptop, video player or mobile device. All you do is sit the T3 on any flat surface for great airSOUND spatial stereo sound.
Measuring just 102 x 60 x 20mm (22mm at maximum) and weighing 115g, the T3 is powered by a lithium rechargeable battery, providing up to 10 hours playing time on a single charge.

Recently I did a review on a Bluetooth hands free solution that was in my estimation one of the best solutions I have ever used. In a nut shell it had a great quality case, excellent sound reproduction and the FM transmission was absolutely terrific. Shortly after that review I was contacted by a representative of the makers of the Venturi Mini and they asked if I would like to look at their device and if I liked it, would I review it. Frankly I was impressed with the confidence they expressed in the quality of their device so I said I would look at it and I am pleased that I did.
The Venturi Mini is quite a bit different than the typical hands free solution you see on the market today. The device does not attach to your sun visor but rather plugs directly into your cars DC outlet where it then will tune to an available space in the FM radio bandwidth. All sound from calls or from streaming music plays through your cars audio system.
As soon as you pair your device to the Venturi Mini, you are able to listen to music and hear phone calls over the car speakers. A2DP technology allows high quality stereo audio to be transferred from your device and if you have multiple devices, it will allow you to connect up to four. For this review, I used two devices (Motorola Q9m and the Cingular 8525).
