Bowers & Wilkins' first Bluetooth speaker oozes Brit style

Bowers & Wilkins wants you to keep up appearances with the T7, its first portable Bluetooth speaker. The bespoke UK audio company has certainly nailed the design, with an elegant honeycomb "micro matrix" cabinet designed to reduce vibration and distortion. It's also got twin bass radiators, high-quality Bluetooth aptX and audiophile electronics and drive units. Bowers & Wilkins has promised intuitive light cues and minimal buttons, plus a whopping 18-hour battery life. The only thing that might give you pause is the $350 price tag, a premium over the beloved, but still-not-exactly-cheap $300 Big Jambox, for example. Still, considering its objet d'art looks, if the sound quality measures up to all of Bowers & Wilkins fancy adjectives, it might be worth the extra 50 bucks.
