It will offer high fidelity sound that stays true to the original recording and has a design that makes it easy to travel with. It has a full range woof and wOOx technology, this will deliver a deep bass and clear sound. The P8 is made out of premium materials and in an effort to protective when you are traveling it comes with a protective pouch. It is a Bluetooth Speaker as well, this way you can wireless stream your music from your device as long as it is Bluetooth enabled.
