Bluetooth speakers are starting to evolve into different usage scenarios, including competing with whole home WiFi systems, while keeping the most common features that users have shown to appreciate in those affordable products, such as battery operated convenience for truly wireless operation anywhere music is needed. Of course, to get into the home, Bluetooth speakers need to adopt different home-friendly design concepts, while implementing enhanced connectivity for stereo operation with two speakers. A strong challenge for Bluetooth technology, to which Braven responded with completely updated designs.
All three speakers feature built-in microphones and speakerphone for answering calls, Bluetooth Low Energy 4.1 with aptX encoded audio support and A2DP v1.3+. Wired connectivity includes an auxiliary 3.5 mm stereo input, 2.4A USB output for charging other devices, and micro USB for firmware updates.
Encased in premium fabric, the Braven 1100 is the most compact of the Premium Home series, making it easily portable for seamless room to room use. Its sleek design masks powerful features including Dual Passive Radiators and an extended range driver that generates rich bass and clean high frequencies. With an impressive 28-hour playtime, the 1100 allows for easy listening all day and night. Through a built-in 8800mAh power bank, Braven’s 1100 doubles as a battery for charging smartphones, tablets or iPads. Built with TrueWireless functionality, the Braven 1100 can be paired with a second 1100 for left and right stereo sound and is available in Graphite and White for $249.99.
The second model in Braven’s Premium Home Bluetooth speakers is also one of its most advanced yet. The Braven 2200m delivers an impressive sound and is packed with intelligent user features powered by Bluetooth Smart Control. The 2000m is designed for more demanding listeners, with a robust low frequency response and powerful volume, combining two full-range drivers, two tweeters and a Low Frequency Resonator. It features a built-in microphone and speakerphone for answering calls and it supports aptX encoded audio as one of the Bluetooth profiles. Greater in size than the 1100, the Braven 2200m includes wall mounting hardware for permanent placement in the home and features TrueWireless technology to pair multiple 2200m speakers together for all encompassing music and 10 hours of wireless playtime. Perfected with a clean, modern look, the 2200m is offered in Graphite and White for $299.99.
The most powerful speaker in the Premium Home series, Braven’s 2300 delivers an even better listening experience using the brand’s Bass Optimization technology, class leading extended range drivers, two tweeters and an integrated subwoofer. Utilizing Bluetooth Smart technology paired with the Braven Smart App, users can power on the 2300 remotely and customize speaker features and settings all from their smartphone. Characteristic of the Premium Home series, the 2300 features TrueWireless technology to pair a second 2300 speaker together for full-bodied left and right stereo sound. The Braven 2300 is available in Graphite or White for $349.99.
Braven’s Smart App makes it easier to control music from anywhere in the home, providing easy access to control both the 2200m and 2300 models. Smart Power allows for turning speakers on or off, while Smart Sound adjusts EQ settings to user preference for a customized sound experience. Users can also use the Smart Pair feature to automatically connect speakers for audio streaming and engage Smart Lock to guard buttons from any accidental activity. The Braven Smart App is available for download in the App Store and Google Play.
