As the popularity of smartphones and tablets in Australia continues to grow – smartphone penetration is predicted to skyrocket to 50% and tablet ownership expected to triple this year* ­– Uniden has introduced two new products to its Bluetooth range: a wireless music speaker and a portable teleconference speakerphone.

The ultra compact BTS150 Bluetooth HD Music & Full Duplex Speakerphone is the perfect tablet and smartphone accessory for multimedia fans. Weighing in at less than 230g, the ultra compact Uniden BTS150 offers convenience and portability without sacrificing audio quality.

To produce a full-bodied, rich and clear sound, the BTS 150 is equipped with a powerful 6 Watt RMS speaker, dual 35mm drivers and a powerful subwoofer for extreme bass. Music lovers and film buffs who have their digital libraries stored across a multitude of devices will also enjoy the BTS 150’s ability to effortlessly pair with both Android and Apple tablets and smartphones as well as other Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices, making it easy to broadcast and share content from a variety of sources.

Utilising the latest noise and echo cancellation technology, as well as an in-built microphone for hands-free calling and conferencing, the BTS150 doubles as a car-kit. It features up to five hours playing time. RRP $99.95

The second addition to Uniden’s product range is the BTS200 Bluetooth Portable Teleconference & Music Speakerphone. Ideal for hands-free calling and conferencing on the go, the BTS200 is a handy tool for both small business and personal use, enabling crystal clear conversations at the touch of a button.

Featuring 4 Watt RMS speakers and 50mm dual drivers, the BTS200’s powerful speakers provide superior sound quality for better call clarity – ensuring it is also a perfect device for playing music wirelessly.

An additional handy feature for the mobile business executive is the BTS 200’s unique removable battery. Enabled for external connection via USB, the battery can be used to re-energise smartphones, tablets, personal music players and other portable devices on the fly. This is ideal for extending battery life when travelling and one single charge is not enough to get you through the day.

The ultra sleek, lightweight design (400g),BTS 200 offers intuitive operation with volume control buttons, mute and play/pause buttons. It has seven hours battery life. RRP $129.95

Both the BTS150 and BTS200 also connect to any device with a 3.5mm audio jack. This port can be used to connect with, and play music stored on mobile devices through, older hi-fi systems which don’t offer a portable media player dock or USB port.

Uniden’s new Bluetooth range will be available in August from leading electrical retailers and department stores.
