Klipsch McLaren Racing Inspired Portable Speaker Announced

Klipsch's Groove McLaren Edition portable speaker is the American firm's latest McLaren Racing partnership product.
Klipsch is the official headphone and portable audio partner of McLaren, and together, they've collaborated to combine "McLaren's unparalleled design ethos and technical innovation with Klipsch's legendary high-fidelity audio".
Naturally, the Klipsch Groove McLaren Edition features McLaren's hallmark speedmark and Papaya Orange accents. Additionally, you will find a perforated metal grille showcasing its acoustic components and a protective anti-skid rubber inlay with integrated and embossed control buttons. You also get a "racing-inspired" tire blanket zip case to keep the speaker cosy and protected when not being used.
The Bluetooth 5-enabled speaker boasts a 3-inch, full-range high-output driver and two 2-inch side-firing oval-shaped passive bass radiators. The Groove McLaren Edition also has a 3.5mm input should you want to connect any non-Bluetooth source.
Measuring just over 5 inches wide by 4 inches high and 2 inches deep, the Groove McLaren Edition has a fast-charging rechargeable battery offering around 8 hours of playback from a full charge. Also, it is IP56 rated, so it is splash and dustproof.
Finally, keeping with the racing theme, the McLaren Edition ships with a power adapter that charges the speaker twice as fast as the standard Klipsch Groove.
The Klipsch Groove McLaren Edition is available in the UK now from Amazon for £179.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
