JBL and Nokia unveiled the first fruits of their collaboration, the JBL PlayUp Portable Wireless Speaker for Nokia, at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin.
With innovation at the heart of its development, the JBL PlayUp Portable Wireless Speaker for Nokia radiates sound in all directions. Built on JBL's passion for audio, the PlayUp Portable is a unique speaker for music lovers who value excellent sound quality, delivering crystal clear sound. With underlying JBL technology that delivers exceptional dynamics, natural tonal balance, clarity and spatial definition, the PlayUp Portable conveys every sonic nuance of the original recording.
It comes with a specially designed bass port which acts as a woofer, ensuring incredible low end sound with minimal audible air turbulence. The PlayUp Portable has a maximum output of 89dB, making it suitable for use outdoors or in any modern indoor interior. The speaker connects easily and wirelessly to any existing Lumia phone via Bluetooth and for next generation Lumia phones based on Windows Phone 8, by tapping to connect with NFC. It also comes with a standard 3.5mm headphone standard audio connector to connect with any mobile phone, computer or MP3 player.
Building on the design of the award-winning Nokia Play 360 Wireless Speaker, the PlayUp Portable makes a statement with its vivid colours and bold shape. Available in cyan, white, black - and the all new bright yellow - its body is built using double-shot plastic for durability. The size and proportions of the speaker, including the minimal number of parts and parting lines, marry Nokia's highly acclaimed industrial design expertise with JBL's tightly defined and non-compromising audio target. Featuring more than 10 hours of continuous music with a single charge, the PlayUp Portable features a replaceable battery that's tucked away at its base. Additional accessories include a carrying pouch, a micro USB charger and a 3.5mm audio cable.

Wireless speaker transmitters use radio frequencies to bridge the distance between the receiver and the speakers. Sound quality tends to suffer the greater the distance between the transmitter and the speakers.
