Orbitsound M9 Pro Reviews

After proving that you could build a tiny soundbar with room-filling stereo sound last year with the Orbitsound T9, the company's back again this year with an even more advanced product, the M9. This takes the same case and speakers as the T9, but has several tweaks for higher-quality sound and convenience. Most obviously, this is the first product we've seen from Orbitsound not to use an iPhone dock, relying on Bluetooth instead. This makes a lot of sense, as Apple's decision to ditch the old 30-pin connector and move to Lightning with iPhone 5, makes it harder to make a physical dock. Besides, switching to Bluetooth means compatibility with practically any smartphone, such as the Samsung Galaxy S3, or tablets that won't even fit in the dock, such as the iPad 4. Of course, there's also an optical digital input, as well as stereo phono and 3.5mm minijack inputs, so you can physically connect your mobile device or TV.
