Break Free With NYNE’s New Lifestyle-Inspired Bluetooth Speakers at CES 2013
Compatible with All Bluetooth-Enabled Mobile Devices, Audio Entertainment Has Never Been Easier
Oxnard, CA – January 3, 2013 – NYNE, a company that enriches consumers’ listening experiences with advanced acoustics, is breaking ground with its latest Bluetooth speakers. The first models to mark a new direction for the company, the NB-500 and NB-550 feature Bluetooth connectivity and USB charging that maintain compatibility with all mobile devices. Smartphones and tablets can now remain completely mobile and free as intended to be. NYNE will showcase the new models in Central Hall booth #11426 at CES, January 8-11.
“In response to Apple’s Lightning connector, we are not only bringing speakers with the new connector, but also focusing on products with mobile device capability beyond docking all together,” said Arman Arami, president of NYNE. “For the first time at the 2013 CES, NYNE is revealing a series of speakers that are completely ‘Device-Agnostic,’ meaning no confinement to any specific platform. We believe users should not be forced to tie down their mobile devices on a dock or be plugged to a connector, except when they wish to charge them.”
Almost every 21st century home has a variety of mobile devices ranging from Android to Apple to Windows, smartphones to MP3 players to tablets. With Device-Agnostic speakers, the NYNE series can connect with them all. With Bluetooth-enabled devices, changing the source, song or volume can be done from anywhere in the room directly from your mobile device. Since everyone can use the same NYNE speaker, mom and dad can keep money in their pockets.
