If you listen to lots of music, you know that there are many things that will never die – such as Rock ‘N’ Roll (according to both AC/DC and Neil Young), Love (The Miracles), Hardcore (Mogwai) and many more. But to the best of my knowledge, there are no songs that claim that Bluetooth speakers will never die. Maybe someone should write one because the British -made pine speaker will make an oasis and Live forever.
The idea behind the pine tree is simple enough. Most portable Bluetooth speakers are sealed devices with rechargeable batteries somewhere inside, and when these batteries wear out, it is not easy or economical to swap them – so when your speaker does not have enough endurance for Metallica’s black albums, it’s smaller Go into SandmanMore Enter deposit. So why not make the battery chopped?
This is hardly a new idea: Adult batteries are as old as, yes, batteries. But the way it has been implemented in Pine Beat is smart.
Pine beating speaker: Why you might want your speaker to live forever
With Pine Beat, a 30-hour battery pack costs only £ 25-comparable with a budget powderbank and you can swap it immediately, so if you go on a long trip far from an outlet, packing a reserve will give you a week’s value of listening a day. And because the pine tree is also a force bank, you can also charge other things.
The key goal here is to keep your speaker out of landfill so that when the battery goes, you can recycle it without having to put the whole speaker in the trash. And according to creator Poca Audio, the circuit card is also designed with future upgrades in mind. The given example is to swap in a new, better Bluetooth module when the next generation arrives.
What Poca offers here is essential, what some luxury-hi-fi brands offer, which is the promise that your purchase will not be outdated in a foreseeable future, of course it must deliver the promise that the manufacturer needs to remain in business and must continue to make the relevant parts.
While the unique selling point here is a lifetime, the pine tree is no slouch in the specification department. It’s a 40W speaker with a woofer, tweeter and bass radiator, a frequency response of 58Hz to 20 kHz and the ability to pair with up to 100 more speakers. There is a custom EQ as well as several presets, a variety of accessories to hang it up, attach it to things and secure it in sand or grass and a generous 30-month warranty.
Pine Beat is now available for £ 170 (about $ 225 / AU $ 351) from Poca Audio.
