Powered by aptX

The system blends a 3¾” high-excursion subwoofer with a custom 1¾” high-sensitivity driver with a neodymium motor system. The result is a rich, high-fidelity sound that stretches from 50Hz - 20kHz. To get the most from the high-fidelity system, we’ve included aptX®, which allows for CD-quality, low latency streaming over Bluetooth.
