Mass Fidelity Coreby Mass Fidelity
PROS
- This portable Bluetooth speaker delivers terrific sound quality, even in a spacious room.
- The advertised 12-hour battery life is impressive.
- The Core's size makes it portable, and it offers multiple connection options.
CONS
- The price tag is steep, considering the $200-plus range that is typical for other Bluetooth speakers.
- The only color available right now is black, so if you're looking for a bright-color, you're out of luck.
- The surface of the Core loves fingerprints. If there are kids around--or other sticky fingers--you'll be wiping it down more often than you'd like.

Battery life on it is pretty strong at 12 hours, and the speaker is small enough to be portable, similar to Jawbone's Jambox or Bose's Soundlink Mini, but with a lot more thrust and oomph behind it.

[W]hat makes the Core stand out from the competition is the ease in which you pair the devices…[E]ach Core has its own 5-GHz network, so linking devices is as simple as pressing the pair button…In practice, my second Core took 3.5 seconds to connect with my main device, instantly transforming my humble bedroom into my own private concert hall.

Quality was good, the tone warm and the necessary highs and lows met without any of the associated vibration and rumbling you might associate with other wireless speakers. Remarkably, even the oldest MP3 files – some of which were not encoded with a particularly high bitrate – sound fresh and lively.

I placed two of The Core boxes in different rooms, and made one device play a song from my phone. After I hit the sync button, it took the two devices about 5-10 seconds to work out which one was the parent before pumping the song in sync. Obviously, this is a really great feature for parties.

Cut through the fluff and you find that the Core is a really high-end Bluetooth speaker that has great sound and lots of power, but is still saddled by the inherent limitations of Bluetooth.

In a demo playing through various songs both new and old, ranging from Rock, to Pop, to Hip-Hop..the Core had no problem filling a room with stereo-imaged sound...The Core is a small box, about four inches high and six inches wide, yet it mimicked the output of two large stereo speakers.
