INTRODUCTION

   What would be the very first things you'd put in your backpack right before going away on a trip someplace far away from home? Most people i know first pack a power bank and a wall charger so they are able to keep their portable devices like a smartphone and/or a tablet powered on at all times. I know some who even pack a Bluetooth wireless headset or a plain wired headset so they are able to listen to music and even watch their favorite movies and TV series without disturbing everyone around them. Personally i like to cover every possible scenario so aside the devices already mentioned i always pack a Bluetooth wireless speaker since i enjoy listening to music without having to wear a headset (at least not when it's not necessary). Antec made their debut in the wireless speaker market a while back with the unveiling of their A.M.P line of mobile products and today with us we have their brand new WAV model.

   Antec Mobile Products (A.M.P) is a global consumer electronics company committed to putting state of the art mobile and audio technology into the hands of every user. As a division of Antec, the world-renown market leader in PC hardware, A.M.P. is committed to bringing Antec's winning VIP principles of Value, Innovation and Perfection to the mobile world. Technology is taking on an increasingly greater role in our lives and changing the relationship between user and device. People are not only demanding products that make their lives easier, but are also seeking devices that let them use, share and interact in new ways. By harnessing new technologies, Antec is changing the way people experience life through their mobile devices. A.M.P. understands that mobile products are more than just devices, they are extensions of ourselves: our tastes, habits and curiosity. a.m.p. is committed to the concept of fashion technology by providing you with devices that are not only attractive, but reflect your own unique personality.

   Unlike other previously released models by A.M.P (like the quite good SP1) the WAV Bluetooth Wireless Speaker features a vertical design enclosure (much like the BOOM by Ultimate Ears) inside which Antec has placed two opposite 52mm drivers (3W RMS each) which feature a frequency range of 100Hz–20kHz with 78db sensitivity. The WAV also features an integrated microphone, Bluetooth v4.0 (EDR), aptX, Near-Field Communication (NFC) and a 1000mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery which can power the device for up to six continuous hours. Unfortunately Antec doesn't provide more in-depth information regarding the microphone used with the WAV (speaker/driver information is also limited) so chances are that it doesn't feature noise-cancelling technology (up to us to find out).
