Portable Stereo Sound

The DLO Portable Speakers for iPhone are compact yet powerful speakers that let you enjoy your music and videos in stereo sound without any threat of TDMA interference. Featuring an extra-wide sound stage and bass vents for delivering powerful sound, these small speakers pack a powerful punch.

The removable, rotating stand holds the iPhone upright or horizontally for the ideal portable movie-viewing experience. Plus, you don't have to disconnect your iPhone if a call comes in – the Portable Speakers simply turn into your iPhone into a speaker phone. So while iPhone is connected, you can take and place calls as usual, without any disruption.





The DLO Portable Speakers also feature a unique compact design that makes them ideal for travel. Each speaker snaps neatly into the base to create a "ball" approximately 6" in diameter. The base features a recessed area for keeping cords securely wrapped and out of the way when not in use.

Powered by either AAA batteries or the included AC adapter, the speakers will also work with any audio device that has a 3.5mm headphone jack.
