Altec Lansing SoundBlade Wireless Speaker System with Bluetooth Technology
The Altec Lansing SoundBlade Wireless Speaker System with Bluetooth Technology brings the music on your mobile phone to life with a powerful, immersive experience. The speaker system replaces headphone listening with the crisp, clean sound of a matched pair of two-inch, lightweight neodymium drivers, enhanced with the perception of deep, rich bass thanks to SRS Trubass technology.

Speakerphone functionality is icing on the cake.Listen to your favorite tunes on your mobile phone. Hear a call come in through the speakers. Take the call with the touch of a button. End the call with the same button. And get back to enjoying your music.

Before proceeding with setup, ensure your phone supports A2DP Bluetooth connectivity. Consult your mobile phone’s packaging, user’s manual or manufacturer’s website for this information.
