CONCLUSION
It's not really the first time since we've seen two portable Bluetooth speakers working together wirelessly to allow for a wide stereo sound field since a few manufacturers have done so in the past. However SuperTooth offers perhaps the only set of such speakers that works right out of the box thus "simplifying" things especially for people who are looking for something like that. SuperTooth claims that the Disco Twin speakers can connect up to a range of 10m and we verified this out in the open although obviously that number doesn't apply when walls are present between them (6m with a wall in between is not bad however). Audio quality is not really superb all over but the Disco Twin offer very good and accurate mids with rich bass so although highs are not impressive i doubt anyone will have a problem with that, besides we're not talking about an expensive audiophile grade floor speaker. Volume levels are also very good and more than enough to cover a large room although if you max the volume on both the Disco Twin and your source you may notice some slight audio distortion. As for battery life well at full volume we were unable to hit 4 hours but we did hit 3 hours and 42 minutes which is not at all bad if you think about it although i do expect most people to have both towers plugged into power sockets if they plan on using them at home.
Most good Bluetooth portable speakers cost quite a bit so i was somewhat relieved to see that currently the SuperTooth Disco Twin retail for just USD149.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 140.53Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). Granted at first this price tag may not seem low to many of you but if you take into account that you are getting a set of Bluetooth portable speakers which you can place up to 10m away from each other and fill a room or an area far more efficiently compared to a single unit I’m sure you will soon change your mind. Now i do think that SuperTooth should work a bit more on the design of the Disco Twin (or the Disco series in general) Bluetooth Stereo speaker since it's indeed somewhat dull but that's a far less important factor than audio quality and features when choosing a portable speaker. Bottom line we all liked the Disco Twin and that's why it gets our Golden Award (we hope SuperTooth will keep up the good work and release more sets in the future).
