My favorite portable Bluetooth speaker maker, BRAVEN, has finally launched the BALANCE line of water proof Bluetooth speakers. The new line brings active users a bit more style and slim line design than the previous waterproof line such as the BRAVEN BRV-X and BRV-1. They are a slimmer, lighter and range in color from traditional black and white to purple, red, pink and a neon yellow. They named the colors Raven, Alpine, Raspberry, Electric, Sunset, and Periwinkle. Target users are those who are active and more about fitness than about hitting a class 5 rapid.
“Music and fitness go hand in hand, they help you maintain a balanced mind, body and soul,†said Andy Fathollahi, Chief Executive. “The Balance is the perfect speaker for the active mobile lifestyle.  It unites smart design with functionality by having a slim shape to fit into any bag or backpack and the power to get your adrenaline going.â€
When the new speaker was announced at CES 2015, it carried a waterproof rating of IPX5, but has since been increased to IPX7. That translates to 1 meter underwater for 30 minutes before potential harm befalls the speaker. As with other speakers from the manufacturer this one boasts 18 hours of continuous playback from a 4,000 mAh battery that also allows you to charge your phone while on the go. It also offers a built-in noise-canceling microphone so you can keep your wet hands off your phone and still get calls.
