Any music enthusiast knows the joy of being able to play music without the messy tangle of wires. The trouble is that when you opt for a wireless Bluetooth enabled speaker system you make your existing speakers redundant. Moreover most portable Bluetooth speakers are run out of juice too quickly and do not sound as good as your home speaker system. Motorola has tried to overcome both of these foibles by introducing the Moto Stream. The Moto Stream is a multi-faceted coloured portable wireless adapter that plugs into your existing speaker system with the help of a 3.5mm to RCA or 3.5mm to 3.5mm connector. Moto Stream is powered by a microUSB charger which is included with the product. The best part of the Moto Stream is its price tag of 49.99 USD (2,965 INR).

Moto Stream uses Bluetooth 3.0 standard and is able to support up to five simultaneous Bluetooth connections from Android, iOS or Windows PC device from up to 300 feet. To make pairing faster the Moto Stream is also equipped with NFC. The Moto Stream is social as well, as its Heist mode allows all the five connections to control the device. So imagine you are at a party and your friend is acting like a buzz kill by playing a melancholic track on the Moto Stream, you can immediately override the speaker by dropping in another track from a paired device. Moto Stream is available in the US on the Motorola website and will make its way to RadioShack stores in the country on June 6th. Global availability and pricing information is still awaited.

So before discussing this amazing product from Motorola and its advantages and pitfalls, we advise you to go through the #-Link-Snipped-# which we have embedded for your convenience below and watch the Moto Stream in action below.

This is super Awesome!

Five connections, Bluetooth supporting distance of 300 feet and supports almost all type of jacks (3.5mm to RCA or 3.5mm to 3.5mm connector).
That too at a price of 2500/- can't ask more.

I am a music lover and is frustrated of the messy wires system, would love to add it to my kitty once it will be launched in India..

2500/- is because of their brand name. We can make similar thing in very cheaper price yeah you might not get this cool casing for the device.

PS: Is that guy Shikhar Dhawan(Indian Cricketer) in video? 😉

What gives a big company rights to launch a same old device with such a huge price tag?

I think these will do the same thing for under Rs. 500 -

Has anyone picked up the similarities between the Moto Stream and the never sold in the market device from Google, the Nexus Q. Yes they have over priced the stuff because the are aiming it at the bigger markets. Motorola launched the Moto E simultaneously in countries like UK and India but this will not happen with the Moto Stream thanks to its price.

I initially thought that it was magnificent and superb from Its usage but after the link provided from Ankita , It really confuses me. An average man can't estimate a electronic thing. Thanks to Harshad and Satya for throwing light on this gadget .

Smartphones starts from range 5000 INR and are upto more than 50000 INR; does that mean the phone with 50000 are overly charged or pricey?

The one given in the link is the plain vanilla version of the bluetooth device; the one given by Moto Stream gives you quality with some features and warranty (I read for an year); Isn't that enough?

Do you think that all the bluetooth device will give same sound quality?

You are correct 50000 is not overly charged because we know that even we know what parts they have used still it's impossible to make it similar.
But in case of this device it is very common and simple as main part is Bluetooth module and there are many modules available in market which can be used for the same purpose.

I think yes we can get the same quality by using the best hardware.

I'm not impressed! Given the short range of Bluetooth; I'd have loved Wi-Fi enabled option. It'd be much more usable and I could setup a central media server through my router and have the speakers play music in any of the rooms.
