The more than 100-year-old audio and telecommunications brand Stormberg-Carlson re-emerged in Latin American markets in the early 2000s. Now, the audio device maker is looking to make a splash internationally thanks to a range of different headphones, earbuds, portable speakers and loudspeakers. Many of them come in highly stylish colors that may remind many people of the unique look of tie-dye.
There were also a handful of pill-shaped speakers on display. One of the most unique audio devices was the Twin 2 which distinguishes itself due to its ability to split into two separate speakers as well as be used as one speaker.
Available in two sizes, the Twin 2 sounds like a cutting-edge portable speaker that blends form and function based on our firsthand experience with the product. The stand-out two-in-one design enables the speaker to be split into two separate wireless speakers. These attach and detach via a magnetic system, and are capable of being separated at a distance of approximately 20 feet.
Seeing a Stormberg representative easily move speakers back and forth in one unit seemed surreal until I tried it myself. The magnets are strong enough to hold the unit together but not so strong that pulling them out would be a problem. When I held it in my hands it felt perfect. like many best bluetooth speakerThere’s also a handy strap on the red side for even more portability.
During my time with the speaker, the audio quality from the single unit was quite impressive thanks to the 20 watts or so of power and dual 2.25-inch woofers. Although the CES convention floor didn’t allow us to hear a lot of audio nuance in terms of overall sound quality, it was quite easy to hear both the deep bass and stereo sound capability by isolating the speakers.
The volume level was also good considering the sound condition of the area. The best part is that the volume of each speaker can also be adjusted independently, if you’re sitting closer to one rather than the other.
When it comes to battery life, Stormberg is promising an estimated 10 hours of battery life on a single charge via USB-C, which is a tad low.
The Twin 2 can connect to the device via Bluetooth for wireless, or wired via a 3.5mm auxiliary input. For its larger size, there’s a red and blue color, while the smaller one I tried is split between two different shades of blue.
The Stormberg Twin 2 impressed me with its sleek design and impressive sound quality. The versatile two-in-one capability worked incredibly well during our short time with the speaker. If Stormberg wants to regain its footing in the internationally crowded portable speaker market, the Twin 2 may be its best chance when it’s released later this year.
