Over the past month I have owned/compared the Yamaha NX-B02, Parrot Party, and Altec Lansing Soundblade (Amazon’s return policy makes it easy). The Soundblade is very good, but I thought the Parrot was the best (and kept it while returning the other 2). You can read my reviews for the other 2. For the Soundblade, it certainly was put together well with excellent features (speakerphone and can control the music player somewhat) and design. It played the loudest, but had the least impressive bass of the 3 and had the most distortion of the 3 in the upper frequencies. I realize that no speaker system this size will sound great, but the Parrot (using bluetooth) and the Yamaha (using line-in) sounded better. For moderate listening volumes, it certainly was adequate. I also felt like the Parrot was a little more portable for what I’m using it for (back deck and pool), although the Soundblade would probably be the best for travel (thin).

Best in Niche
What I was after:
- Amplified Loudspeaker
- Highly Compact & Portable
- Dual powered (battery & mains)
- Wired & Wireless connectivity…
The SoundBlade looks pretty small but it sounds amazingly good. It folds flat so it’s easy to tuck into a laptop bag. Connects wirelessly via stereo Bluetooth to your mobile phone or even to your laptop (with a dongle, if you don’t have stereo Bluetooth built into your PC). Or you can just use a regular 3. 5mm connector to connect to your laptop and forget the whole Bluetooth thing. Basically, it’s a very good portable speaker. In addition to being a music speaker, the SoundBlade also works as a speakerphone so you can link it to your mobile phone and take your calls out loud. All in all, a very handy little piece of technology for the road.

Not bad for an over priced speaker phone
I purchased the Altec Lansing inMotion SoundBlade Bluetooth A2DP speakers from Amazon. I own other products by this company.
Speakers sound great, bluetooth setup is easy, and it’s very thin. My ONLY gripe is that rather than use AA batteries, why not have put in re-chargeable ones? Seems like it shouldn’t be so hard for the expense.

Great little speaker
This speaker turned out to be a good purchase. I was looking for a speaker that would transport easily.

Amazing sound from such a thin unit!
Wow! Even after careful research, I was a bit apprehensive about what the sound quality would be like with this unit. Simply put, it is amazing!

Outstanding Product
I was a little nervous to purchase the Altec Lansing Soundblade, because Bluetooth is a relatively new technology for me.
