Vertus Adapters Turn Two Speakers into a Bluetooth Stereo
If you have two speakers at home which each have a 3.5 mm input, a new project has hit Kickstarter that will turn the speakers into Bluetooth wireless streaming devices.
The Vertus system is a pair of small Bluetooth receivers that you can plug into different speakers allowing for wireless stereo music playback. The system has a 30-foot transmission range so you can also place the speakers in a different part of the room to bring your favorite music to a larger space, and for better stereo separation.
The receivers will be offered in brushed silver or brushed anodized gunmetal gray colors. The adapters are wireless and have internal batteries that are recharged using an included charging adapter. A pledge of $79(USD) more will get you your own Vertus system with shipping expected by August of 2013.

JBL SoundFly Air ships, delivers AirPlay to your wall socket for $199
JBL's SoundFly lineup is one of the rarer breeds of wireless speaker we've come across: it's much like an earlier AirPort Express made solely for audio, designed to be as unintrusive as possible while it kicks out the jams. Those who find that stealthy sound appealing will be glad to hear that the more advanced of the two SoundFly speakers, the SoundFly Air, is now shipping. The 20W box will play audio streamed from any AirPlay-capable device on the same WiFi network while it sits demurely on a wall outlet. JBL is counting on a few tricks to set itself apart from the rest of the similarly Apple-oriented pack, such as linking up to four of the speakers for whole-home audio and offering an iOS app to tailor the output to the room. About the only reservation is a $199 shipping price for something that isn't as portable or universal as a Jawbone Jambox, but that may be the price to pay for a speaker that can offer longer range and syncing while it very nearly blends into the furniture.
