New Delhi: Rapoo has launched its new portable 'Rapoo A500 Bluetooth speaker', which is NFC-enabled, allowing user to enjoy music in a convenient way. Most of the new-generation mobile phones are equipped with the Near Field Communications (NFC) technology to facilitate easy connection and data transmission between the devices with just one-touch pairing.

The Rapoo A500 features the Bluetooth 4.0 technology with the NFC capabilities which allows easy, one-touch pairing by simply tapping it with one's smartphones or tablets that supports Bluetooth NFC. Bluetooth 4.0 is backward compatible with older Bluetooth standards, so the user can get connected and play a better quality audio by Rapoo A500 from his iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry or Windows phone. Official reports also stated, ‘It saves the hassle to search for the connection and input the pairing codes and improves the sound quality of the smartphones and tablets to create the most comprehensive high-quality listening experience’. 

The Rapoo A500 features a speakerphone mode which is good enough for an unplanned hands-free call and also includes a built-in microphone. When you receive a call, the music will be automatically paused and switched to speaker phone mode. It also supports multi-point connection technology, which allows users to pair two devices to the speaker at the same time. It is convenient for users to setup dual pairing with two smartphones or one Smartphone and one tablet to the speaker without the swapping between the devices.  

Its One Tap Bluetooth pairing generally requires scanning process for devices and entering the pairing codes for connection setup which is a bit complex for beginner. As most of the new smartphones and tablets come with the NFC capabilities, the NFC-enabled Rapoo A500 bypasses all that with one tap of the smartphones to the back of the speaker, allowing easy and prompt instant pairing.

The Rapoo A500 is slightly larger than an iPhone 5S, weighs 216g and is easy to carry around. There are two 3W built-in stereo speakers inside the speaker. Using biological materials for construction, the driver's diaphram has a thickness like the human eardrum. It has high response time and delivers quality music in high bass or high pitch.

Sunil Srivastava, Country Marketing Manager at Rapoo said, "We prefer and commit to design products with simple functionality, excellent quality and stylish design which reaches everyone's expectations and need. We are well-known for our slimmest and portable keyboards and mice and we are confident that our new range of NFC speakers will impress our customers and partners with its performance." 

Beside personal use, it is more suitable for conference calls and hands-free mode in mobile phones with better sound quality compared can be expected. Rapoo A500's built-in battery delivers up to 10 hours of wireless playback.

Rapoo A500 is available in variant colours like colours, Pink, Blue, Green, Orange, White, Black and Golden. This wireless speaker comes with a 2-year replacement warranty and its market price is Rs 7,149.
