It’s great that everyone has a bluetooth speaker for weekends away, but there is a very real problem about having one as your primary home entertainment system. Here’s why.
Remember back in the early 2000s when everyone bought themselves an iPod docking Bose speaker?
Adorable.
That was back in the day when people actually used iPods for anything other than exercise. How many of you have one of those docking speakers in a drawer or stationed in a room with that same old iPod (and playlist) slotted in? We have one at our holiday house, I think. That thing is so old it can’t even charge anymore – it shuts off if you pull it out of the dock.
Now we have iPhones (or *cough* others…) and even the ‘late adopters’ have realised that one device is better than two. So they ‘download’ music onto their phones and pat themselves on the back when they link their phone to a bluetooth speaker. So progressive. If only they knew they’re behind the game – again – on so many fronts.
As I said – on holiday or weekends away, a bluetooth speaker is great. But it doesn’t work at home.
What I suggest you do:
This is where we are now, guys. This is where you need to be, realistically.
The 7,5% discount on the Bose SoundTouch range of speakers is from Sound Systems Cape, the official home of Bose in Cape Town. This is available to all 2oceansvibe readers. Simply click HERE for the voucher, and show it when you visit their store. You can print it out or just take a picture on your phone.
Do yourself a favour and just take a look (and listen) at what these things can do. When you’re ready to have music in your home, I cannot recommend a better system – even if it is just the Bose SoundTouch 10 to get you started 😉
Don’t forget that voucher when you head through to Sound Systems Cape.
