It is always a welcome sight to see yet another tech product jump on the Bluetooth
bandwagon, especially a speaker system. This time it comes in the form of Yamaha’s
new NX-B02 Bluetooth Wireless Speakers. These speakers are small, lightweight, and
are available in black, white, and red. The best part? They are completely
cable-free. Now you can finally walk to class with Lil’ Wayne blasting from within
your backpack.

The speaker itself is small and rectangular, and very simple in design. It is 3.25
inches wide, and 6.75 inches high – barely bigger than a few books on your
bookshelf. This feature adds a great deal of convenience, especially if you live in
a college dorm room and don’t have much space available. There are only four buttons
- Bluetooth activation, volume up/down, and power. On the left and right sides, the
NX-B02 houses two 1.75-inch titanium cone driver and a bass port. The back of the
NX-B02 reveals a headphone audio jack and power supply connection, but here’s the
thing – if you want to, you can use AA batteries and bluetooth! Truly wireless
sound at last. The instructions recommend you stay within 30 feet or so, which
allows your mobile phone or laptop ample freedom about your house.

So how does the NX-B02 sound? Considering the unit is smaller than a Merriam
Webster dictionary, pretty good. It has crisp treble, which can easily fill an
entire room. The Bluetooth enabled playback was free of any distortion. Even at
full volume, the music still sounded the way it should. Obviously, the low-end
frequencies were significantly lacking. This is understandable and forgivable. The
only drawback to the entire experience was getting the Bluetooth working. Some
Bluetooth phones require a password for the unit, which I could not find in the
manual. This, of course, could all be my fault (I’m not that experienced with
Bluetooth).

Overall, these speakers emphasize convenience. Its pretty cool to hold a cube of
sound in your hand, free of any cables or wires. In the future, Yamaha should keep
expanding upon this idea. I would love a high-end home entertainment center in the
living room that I could control from my Bluetooth phone or laptop upstairs in my
room. A man can dream.
