I'm David carnally executive editor for cnet.com and I'm here with the I River Blanc sound donut that's right this is the Blanc brand and this is a Bluetooth portable speaker is obviously shaped as a ring and it's very easy to carry around with you it has a built-in rechargeable battery that gives you about nine hours of streaming audio it also has a built-in speakerphone capability and really that is the strong point of this speaker it does perform well as a speakerphone you can lay it down on a desk it looks good on a desk it has an appealing design it comes in a few different colors and cost $99.99 it's not as good for music it has a bit thin sound but you could pair this with your smartphone Android iOS iPhone or your tablet whether that be an iPad or an Android based tablet and it does augment the sound of those devices it's just not great for music it's a little bit thin on the bass as I said so you probably want to listen this for casual listening music that use it more as a speakerphone and also as a potential movie listening speaker this does play fairly loud but the good news is it does have a rubberized bottom so it's not going to slide around on any slick surfaces as far as little extras go this does have an auxilary input for non bluetooth devices it also has some nice touch buttons on the surface those light up blue give it a kind of cool look especially in the dark I'm David Carr know and that's the iRiver Blanc sound donut bluetooth speaker
