NYNE unveils four new ‘lifestyle-inspired’ speakers for CES 2014

NYNE, a name that is starting to pick up traction in the Bluetooth speaker segment, has just unveiled a sneak peak at four highly affordable new speakers for its CES product lineup, complete with suggested lifestyle implementation in the titles. Dig in below to find out if these new portable sound machines might fit in with your daily routine.

NYNE Bass — “The Outdoor Performer”

Set on twin teardrop pedestals, the Bass is the biggest and most powerful of NYNE’s new family, pushing a relatively brawny 20 watts of power to help it blast sound outdoors. The speaker also packs a respectable selection of features including Bluetooth 4.0, NFC pairing, a 3.5mm Aux input, an onboard speakerphone, a USB charger for  mobile devices, and an estimated 10 hours of battery-powered play time.

NYNE TT — “The Travel Companion”NYNE TT edit 3

The TT could easily be mistaken for a small purse – or a “European handbag,” for the fellas. The TT’s shoulder strap makes it ideal for jamming tunes on the go, making it an inviting addition to your next round of disc golf, or a stroll across a college campus. The speaker’s feature set is nearly identical to the Bass, with the exception of a smaller 16 watt amplifier and, we assume, a smaller driver set as well.

NYNE Cruiser editNYNE Cruiser — “The Sports Buddy”

We’re not sure about the “sports buddy” suggestion in the title, but if you like to jam out while you ride, the Cruiser could be the speaker you’ve been looking for. The compact unit comes with handlebar clips to secure it to your ride, and it includes the same array of features as its brethren above, aside from another step down in power, pushing 10 watts for its smaller driver configuration.

NYNE Mini — “The Anywhere Accessory”NYNE Mini edit

The baby of the family, the Mini is built for convenience first, and, at $50, it also begs the smallest price of the collection. For that, you’ll have to forgo Bluetooth 4.0 for the older 2.1 protocol. Still, the speaker’s cost puts it at the low end of the Bluetooth spectrum, and it does provide a speakerphone and a 3.5mm Aux input. If the device’s 5 watts of power can muster up some decent audio, it could be an enticing choice in the entry-level segment. The Mini will also be available in 5 different color combos.

While specific pricing hasn’t been announced, NYNE’s new collection tops out at $150, which makes all of the new speakers extremely competitive in the wireless speaker marketplace. We’ll try and catch up with NYNE’s new lineup on the floor at CES 2014 to see if these affordable new devices can deliver. The speakers will be available sometime in the first quarter of the year.

If it's not evident by now, let it be known that JBL likes to party ... PartyBox, that is. At CES 2025 in Las Vegas today, the California-based iconic speaker brand has pulled the veil off not one but three new portable party speakers: the PartyBox 520, PartyBox Encore 2, and PartyBox Encore Essential 2, ranging from 100 to 400 watts in power and from $300 to $800 in price.

Starting with the biggest of the bunch, the PartyBox 520 adds a new power entry to JBL's top three with a whopping 400-watt maximum power output from two 7.5-inch woofers and dual 1-inch tweeters, putting it just 80 watts shy of the excellent JBL PartyBox 320 we reviewed last year.

LG’s funky new projector/lamp/Bluetooth speaker launches ahead of CES 2025
The LG PF600U projector-lamp-Bluetooth speaker.

Getting out ahead of the madness of CES 2025, LG has hit the ground running today by announcing two new lifestyle projectors -- the first an odd, but stylish-looking HD projector that's also a standing lamp and a Bluetooth speaker in one, and the other a new 4K ultra short throw (UST) number that the company says is its smallest ever.

LG is calling its 3-in-1 PF600U projector a "lifestyle companion for everyday spaces" that the company hopes will "transport living spaces with its multifunctionality," an LG press release says.

Onkyo rebrands, teases new powered speakers ahead of CES 2025
Onkyo GX-10DB powered speakers.

Onkyo has a new brand identity, which you can already see on its website. Admittedly, it's a lot like its previous branding -- same name, same typeface -- but now the letters that make up the name Onkyo are spaced a little farther apart.

What you won't see on the site, officially at least, is the new product line that the Japanese brand says it will announce at CES 2025 in January. Instead, Onkyo has teased us by throwing exactly one second of footage of its new GX-10DB powered speakers into a minute-long video promoting the "new" Onkyo.
