hi this is Brian Bennett for cnet.com and today we're taking a first look at the qmadix I harmonics Qi sound this one 4999 wireless bluetooth speaker system is built to appeal to frequent travelers it's small has an interesting looking design and even comes with its own carrying case what really sets the Qi sound apart though is its ability to produce stereo wireless audio over Bluetooth that's right true stereo sound with two speakers that are linked by a cordless connection available in both white and black colors the Qi sound consists of two pod shaped speakers that way about a quarter of a pound each the left speaker has volume as well as track forward and advanced buttons there's a small internal mic too so you can make and receive calls when the device is paired to your phone on back of each speaker is a power connector to charge its internal battery unfortunately there's no audio input to hook up older devices via wired connection it's clear the Qi sound is built for travel and the speakers fit snugly into their carrying case magnets in the speaker rims also help them stay put on the road there's no room for the charging cable inside the case however which is annoying also while it's nifty to be able to separate the left and right speakers to tweak your audio experience the Qi sound quality in general won't blow you away there's not much bass to speak of and it's audio quality is a bit brash splashy and distorts at high volume for the same price the original jawbone jambox offers better performance still wireless stereo audio is a pretty slick feature so these guys are definitely worth a look I'm Brian Bennett and this has been a first look at the qmadix I harmonics Qi sound be sure to check out our full review at cnet com
