No longer available at zZounds
Coolest Bluetooth speaker ever! With 30 watts of power, a 12-hour lithium-ion battery, and a built-in mic for taking phone calls, the Fender Newport rocks.

Easily portable and packed with music-friendly features, the Fender Newport Bluetooth Speaker makes it easy to bring Fender's classic stage-ready style, performance and sound everywhere you go. Designed in Southern California, with a look inspired by classic Fender amplifiers, the Newport brings Fender's famously clear, powerful sound to streaming music and phone calls.

Small, yet powerful, the Newport channels 30W of power into a tri-driver system; two woofers and one tweeter are matched to reproduce your music with pure, clear sound. Simple to use, the Newport includes a 3.5mm auxiliary input jack as well as Bluetooth capabilities so you can listen to music from almost any source. The 33-foot+ Bluetooth range, aptX and AAC wireless audio codec support and onboard mic with echo cancellation ensure your calls sound as pristine as your tunes.

Since the Newport was designed from the get-go to be the ultimate portable speaker, Fender has included a USB port to charge external devices and a battery big enough to fully charge a smartphone twice.

The Newport's designed to fit into any decor, so Fender gave it a look inspired by their classic amplifiers. Every detail, from the protective speaker grille to the witch-hat knobs, amp jewel and control labels came from these classic designs. Of course, it wouldn't be Fender without music -- one-of-a-kind audio cues indicate successful power-on and Bluetooth pairing, giving a hint of the enjoyment to follow.

- 2 Full range read more drivers and tweeter for 30W of Fender audio playback

I really agonized over choosing a bluetooth speaker. I've owned various branded, typical $20+ Amazon rectangular, portable speakers. I wanted something better this time around. It ended up between this little Fender and a Bose model. If i was 100% honest, the Bose sounded a little better but in the end I simply couldn't pass up the nostalgic, vintage-looking Fender Newport. I dont regret my decision at all.What sets it apart from run of the mill speakers is the clarity...a fairly neutral sound but very clear with adequate bass. Like a good set of large floor speakers, you can hear more of the background instruments and voices that you dont when listening through crap speakers. I have this in an 88 sq ft room and need no other speakers in the room. I play it through my Amazon Music app on my smartphone (Galaxy Note 5).If i had to come up with a "complaint" it would be that i wish it had a smidge more volume. But honestly, I just moved out of a home that had amazing large floor speakers with a vintage Marantz receiver. My expectations are clearly too high for a small portable speaker if that's what im comparing it to LOL. With that in mind, i have zero regrets. I love my little sonic blue speaker. It has some heft to it which makes it feel like a quality product. Unlike some who complain about it, i love the sound it makes when you turn it on or when it pairs to a device. But, Im a guitar player sooooo...I just love everything about it. Enough to where im thinking of forking out read more the $350 for the larger version as well. Downside for some...this speaker is mono, not stereo. It was a non-issue for me because tiny speakers have a hard time separating stereo sound anyway. I dont even miss it with this speaker, it just sounds good. The power switch is fun and I love the blue light. The witch hat knobs make me happy. It's so much nicer to look at than your average black rectangle. Absolutely worth the price, at least for me.
