Jabra, the world leader in innovative hands-free audio solutions, today announced the launch of its Jabra S5010, a corded stereo speaker designed for use with music-enabled mobile phones, mobile audio devices, laptops or a PC. Incorporating Hi-Fi quality acoustics by Klipsch Audio Technologies, the number one speaker manufacturer in the U.S., the Jabra S5010 speaker was created for music lovers who store their music on a wide variety of devices and expect high quality sound irrespective of the source. The Jabra S5010 delivers bass, detail and clarity not available in other speaker systems for mobile phones. It can be connected to two devices at once (for example a PC and music phone), through one of three different inputs, giving the user easy plug and play access to their digital music files from both devices. “Forecasts show that the number of mobile phones with music-playing capability will reach over 700 million units by 2008,” said David Wood, senior vice president and general manager for Jabra North American operations. “The S5010 is the ideal product for those who wish to play and share their music from what will shortly become the most common portable music device. The great advantage of the S5010 speaker is its flexibility. It works with most all mobile phones, across brands, MP3 players, laptops and PCs. “The fast-growing mobile market brings forth several sound-enhancing opportunities and this joint product venture will allow Klipsch and Jabra to pave the way in this underdeveloped audio space,” said Lance Jones senior vice president of Klipsch Audio Technologies. “The S5010 combines Klipsch’s 60 year heritage of premium audio design expertise with Jabra’s vast experience in mobile phone listening devices to create the premium solution for this category.” The Jabra S5010 features dual 2.5-inch fiber-composite woofers in a ported enclosure. The speaker system is designed with a sleek black look and silver detailed finish. The Jabra S5010 ships with three connector cables: 2.5 mm, 3.5 mm and mini USB which plugs directly through the headphone jack of the desired audio device. The Jabra S5010 is designed so that the user can easily operate the phone and access its functionalities while playing music. The addition of the Jabra S5010 strengthens Jabra’s comprehensive product portfolio of innovative and award-winning audio solutions.
