IFA 2014: i-Box introduces new Slix portable Bluetooth speaker

The Slix Bluetooth speaker has been designed with the aim of being "genuinely portable", with splash- and weather-proofing also on board. And you can buy it as part of a double pack if you wanted to pair two together.

The i-Box Slix features a 6W speaker, which the manufacturer claims to offer "compelling sonic delivery". It also features a rigid chassis with a rubber casing to protect it against every day use.

Connectivity comes courtesy of Bluetooth, while a hands-free speakerphone with built-in microphone is also onboard. The speaker is IPX5 rated, making it splash- and weather-proof and this means it'll be unaffected by rain and can be used in the bathroom without a fuss.

Like other i-Box speakers in the range, the Slix comes with a five year warranty as standard. It will be soon available for £50 for a single speaker or £90 for the double pack.
