How to tell if you’ll love the JBL PlayUp Wireless Speaker for Nokia

It wasn’t that long ago when mobile music meant carrying a device the size of a small suitcase. The first real boom box, called the Superscope was launched by Marantz in 1976, but the heyday of the ghetto blaster was the eighties, when they just kept getting louder and bigger.

Faster forward to 2013 and you get as much music power in something half the size. What’s more, if it’s the The JBL PlayUp Wireless Speaker for it will stream music from your phone, too. But how do you know if this wireless speaker is right for you? Simple, see if you fulfill these criteria.

You want your music to sound fantastic

Speakers have changed beyond recognition since Bell Labs engineers, Chester W. Rice and Edward W. Kellogg invented the first electrostatic loudspeaker in 1921. With acoustic craftsmanship from JBL, you’ve got great 360 degree all-around quality sound. What’s more,  you’ll enjoy clear, loud sound delivered from a specially designed bass port with a power range of 10 watts. In fact, it works like a mini sub to give real oomph to the MP3 tracks on your phone. Trust us, your eardrums will say thank you.

You want to play your music anywhere, with anyone

Robert Browning, the English poet once said. “He who hears music, feels his solitude peopled at once.” Living in Victorian England his idea of chillin’ to tunes was probably more string quartet than Basement Jaxx. That said the sentiment still rings true. If you’re feeling lonely there’s no better cure than cranking up your music. With the The JBL PlayUp for Nokia you can do that anywhere, anytime. Wireless and with an optimal battery life of up to 10 hours, your music goes where you go.

You want your music easy

But what’s the point of all that if you can’t find a simple way to enjoy it?
