MobileMan wearable Bluetooth speaker system is something else

When we talk about wearable technology, most of the time, we would think about the likes of a smartwatch, or perhaps one of those heart rate monitors in which fitness buffs love to use in order to keep track of their movement. Well, how about a wearable Bluetooth speaker? This is truly something else entirely, as the MobileMan S1 that will arrive in red and black shades would like to break new ground in the portable audio market with what is deemed to be the latest wearable audio Bluetooth speaker.

Sporting a breakthrough innovative design in which you can see above, the MobileMan S1 series is capable of supporting the entire range of motion. In other words, those who tend to live an active and healthy lifestyle will be able to enjoy the musical ditties and tunes of their choice, all the while maintaining complete awareness of their surroundings. You will definitely be a whole lot safer enjoying your evening jogs while you have the MobileMan S1 Bluetooth speaker, that is for sure!

There are two different kinds of models under the MobileMan S1 series from which one can choose from — and they are the MobileMan S1 Premium and MobileMan S1 Sport. Regardless of which model that you decide on, you will find that they share unique features such as weather resistant speakers, Bluetooth connectivity of up of 30 feet, a battery life that should be able to touch 10 hours, depending on usage, reflective accents that make it useful when you prefer to work out at night on the streets, all packed into a lightweight package that does not tip the scales at more than 7 ounces.

All units will sport adjustable straps that provide a secure and comfortable fit, where a flexible utility pocket lets you stash away small items such as keys, and the integrated microphone enables one to answer calls seamlessly via the device. Any takers?

These Sound Intone Noise Cancelling Headphones will help you focus

There is always something we could be doing. There are chores to be done, work you could get ahead on, food prep, and endless leisure activities and projects that would be fun to start, but would take up too much time. We only have so many hours in the day, and our brains can only handle so much input, which is why having an ideal work environment is critical to getting more done on any given day.

We work while eating, driving, in bed, on the bus, at the office, and at home where we should be relaxing. Since you can’t escape deadlines, sometimes you have to buckle down and get things done whether or not you want to. These Noise Isolating Headphones from Sound Intone could certainly help you to hone in on the task at hand without being pulled away by exterior distractions. These consist of a casted zinc alloy headband with electroplated coating, a stainless steel pull arm, memory foam ear cups with a PU leather cover, and a 3.9ft braided cable.

They fold up easily for travel, are on-ear, and have a 360 degree high sensitive omni-directional mic for better clarity when taking calls. While this $30 pair of headphones seem pretty sturdy and are competitively priced, their noise canceling is passive rather than active, reducing the exterior noise, but not dampening it completely. If you really want to go for absolute silence, you’ll have to pay a bigger bill.

Available for purchase on Amazon
