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.

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.

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.
