Surround Sound: Must-Have Speakers from Phorus, Ultimate Ears, & Flips Audio

We all know music is the universal language, and we personally like to surround ourselves with music at all times, whether we’re working or relaxing at home, hanging out with friends, or outside enjoying a bit of solitude and warm weather. There are multiple ways for us to listen to music these days, whether that be through a speaker or through earphones. Some people might even decide that they like to hear their music amplified through HIFI systems, like those systems that can be seen on hifisystemcomponents.com for example. It’s up to you how you prefer listening to your music. Many of the younger generations prefer to use speakers that can keep us surrounded by our favorite music no matter where we are. Today we share the must-have speakers from Phorus, Ultimate Ears, & Flips Audio.

We especially love the Phorus, not only for its stunningly modern look but also for it’s multi-room play capabilities. This powerful, wireless speaker boasts Phorus’s most powerful processor, a stellar acoustic performance no matter where you are, and amazing instant compatibility with all your devices…..seriously, if our vacuum cleaner had Bluetooth capabilities, we’d enjoy the chore much more.

No one can deny the connection between music and art and thanks to Ultimate Ears, we can enjoy the distinct connection between the two arts. The makers of the social speaker welcome its sixth artist-designed UE BOOM mobile speaker, designed by contemporary graffiti artist Greg ‘Craola’ Simkins. This unique artist draws inspiration from his favorite childhood books and cartoons, weaving together pop culture, nature, and carnival kitsch, with his unique imagination to capture the uncommon beauty of his pieces. Named The Safe Haven Edition UE BOOM, this offbeat designed portable speaker celebrates the depth and detail in the world of art, by combining the powerful sound from the multi-award-winning UE BOOM with Craola’s vivid…..and quite imaginative designs. His work on this very limited edition UE Boom (only 200 were produced) encourages fans to bring a fresh perspective to their imaginations and express themselves.

“Just like my art inspires people to leave behind the ordinary, the power of UE BOOM allows its listeners to enhance their ordinary by bringing music deeper into whatever they’re doing, no matter where they go,” said Craola. “I love that the Ultimate Ears brand and I both stand for self-expression, and I’m honored to share in this adventure of bringing music and imagination to life.”

The Safe Haven Edition UE BOOM speakers is available worldwide for a suggested retail price of $199.99. For more information, please visit www.ultimateears.com. To find out more about Craola, please visit www.imscared.com.

We know what you’re thinking, how can we do a story about speakers and then throw in a pair of headphones? But these are not ordinary headphones, with a flip of the cushion foam earcups, you go from headphones (solo mode) to powerful speakers (social mode). This time around, they have amped (literally) up the music enjoying pleasure, with the introduction of the NEW Flips XB800 (or XB). This powerhouse headset differs from their HD650 in 2 ways: 1) bass resonator delivers a pulse-pounding high-definition sound that you don’t just hear, you FEEL, and 2) the XB boasts a detachable in-line Mic cord.

Enjoy high-quality sound whether you’re by yourself, or with a group of friends with Flips Audio’s amplified, high definition, pumping sound. It still boasts the removable cord with in-line mic, 3.5mm Jack, approximately 4 hours of music enjoyment time in speaker mode, and unlimited time in headphone mode. When not in use, fold and safely store your adjustable Flips in its hard shell case. The Flips XB800 is available now and retails for $120.00, grab a pair at www.flipsaudio.com.
