Review Soen Transit: This wireless speaker gives music as you like it

 

When was the last you saw someone buy a music system? Tough question, right? Well, the popularity of mobile phones has been at the cost of many devices, among them music players and music systems, which used to be a must-have gadget in all homes. Their large control units and speakers are being replaced in many homes by compact, event tiny, speaker systems and docks that play music directly from a smartphone.
Soen is a relatively unknown name in India. But this California-based company boasts of a great pedigree as it has been founded by designers, engineers and craftsmen who have worked for the best audio firms in the world. The company has brought out a compact Bluetooth speaker for mobile devices that it light and small enough to go anywhere the phone goes. But it is not that easy for small speakers to have the kind of audio output that will keep all listeners interested, especially the choosy kind like me. That is why we had to test the Soen Transit, which has just been announced in India.
