Recognized as a CES Best of Innovations category winner, the BS900 Bluetooth speaker allows consumers to enjoy music wirelessly from their Bluetooth-enabled cell phone or portable media player.

Unlike other wireless audio speakers, the BS900 is a 30-watt, 3-channel system capable of room-filling sound. While the BS900 is perfect for the home, the ultra-portable BS300 delivers high-quality sound that also connects to any Bluetooth-enabled device for enjoying music on the go.

The BS900 and BS300 Bluetooth speaker will be available in the first half 2008.

YA-BS900

A 2008 CES Best of Innovations Award winner, the YA-BS900 is a Bluetooth speaker system that automatically turns on when the consumer walks near it with an already-paired Bluetooth-enabled MP3 player or mobile phone. The hands-free Bluetooth mobile phone volume reduction function lowers the speaker volume when the user receives a phone call.

The BS900 features Hyper 3-Channel Surround Sound with Euphony Technology, which lets the listener hear the "center of the sound" regardless of what position they are in or where they are in the room. The unit features three, 10-watt speakers, an analog line-in, remote control, and a USB port to play MP3 files directly from a thumb drive or MP3 player.

YA-BS300

More compact than the BS900, the YA-BS300 Bluetooth speaker is ultra-portable, weighing only 2.2 oz. The speaker projects crisp, powerful sound via Samsung's exclusive DNSe sound engine technology delivering 3D Surround Stereo when connected to any Bluetooth-enabled cell phone, MP3 player or personal media device. The BS300 also acts as a hands-free speaker for conference calls and makes the perfect travel gadget thanks to its slim design. For added convenience, a 2.5mm jack allows for the BS300 speaker to charge its integrated rechargeable battery easily via a USB port.
