14 DAY TRIAL // Portable gadgets of all sorts are becoming really popular, thanks to how widespread wireless connectivity is getting, but Panasonic made sure to endow its latest creations with more than the usual set of perks.
Well, that's not quite accurate, since the company didn't exactly give its newest portable speakers any unusual features.
Instead, it enhanced one to the point where it made the newcomers, called SC-NA30 and SC-NA10 Portable Wireless Speaker Systems, the best.
And that category is battery power. Quite simply, the SC-NA30 and SC-NA10 allegedly have the longest playback time on the market, capable of lasting for 20 hours on a single charge.
That said, the Panasonic Music Streaming application allows the newcomers to wirelessly connect (via Bluetooth) to smartphones or tablets, even providing a music library.
Near Field Communication (NFC) is included too, for easy device pairing, and so are two speakers, among other things.
More specifically, the SC-NA30 has a pair of 2-inch speakers and an integrated subwoofer, plus a double passive radiator that shields the bass from rogue vibrations.
The SC-NA10, meanwhile, has a pair of 1.6-inch speakers and a single passive radiator. It's why the former has a price of $299.99 / €299.99 and the latter of $199.99 / €199.99.
"As Panasonic continues to expand the offerings for home and portable audio systems, we're pleased to introduce the new NA series which is perfect for enjoying music at home or on-the-go," said David Fisher, product manager, Home Entertainment Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company.
"Panasonic understands that listening habits differ from person to person and the new NA Series provides users with the highest quality audio, intelligent networking coupled with convenient designs to suit our customers' audio preferences and lifestyles."
SC-NA30 has a slim and stylish Silver or Black body and stainless steel mesh over the speaker, while the SC-NA10 ships in silver with a compact, purse-like cover.
