Hi everybody! I'm opening this thread to talk about the Arctic S113BT. This mobile speaker comes with the Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity and the NFC chip. There's also the aptX codec support for the high quality streaming of AAC files (I've also tried to play some FLAC files without any problem). I've used this speaker even with an old 3G iPod Touch wich only have a bluetooth 2.0 chip.
In the package you will find a jack-jack cable to connect the speaker with device with no wireless connectivity, a little bag to carry the S113BT around and a USB MicroUSB cable to recharge the embedded battery. The internal battery is a Li-Ion one with 1200mAh, 700 hours of autonomy in standby and 8 hours of playing. The two integrated drivers offer a very high volume and a frequency bandwith of 60Hz-20kHz. The low frequencies are well reproduced and I've noticed a well behavior even at 70Hz. The sound is good for a so tiny device even if the sound is no perfectly clear at some middle frequencies. The build quality is very good and the design too. There's also an embedded microphone you wich allow you to use the S113BT to answer incoming call from you smartphone pressing the multi-functional button on the front. On the front there are also two other buttons to adjust the volume level and a bi-color led wich shows the battery status and the availability of the Bluetooth chip to exabilish a new connection. I've also made a little videoreview: the audio is in Italian but the videos is international

Finally I can say that this S113BT from Arctic is a really good product which offers so much at a sub-40$ price, resulting very competitive in its market share.
All the information and the avaible colours are displayed in the official website (http://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/s113-bt.html) and the product is avaible on Amazon at 39$ with free shipping. Behind there are some photos of the orange version of the S113BT I took last days.
