Accessories: Thoughts on Nokia Play 360 NFC Speakers

Richard Dorman has got his hands on TWO Nokia Play 360s from the Nokia Flagship store in Helsinki and has posted his thoughts at his new blog, OnlyFoolsAndMobiles.

• Better than MD-3 and MD-11, Play 360 are in another league
• Not as portable but not huge either
• Box contents: micro usb charger, a 3.5mm double ended jack cable and a cover/carrier for the speaker
• Set up very easy
• Pairing instructions in box lid (note, you can use these with other non NFC bluetooth devices, you just won’t get that tap and connect experience)
• Can act as paired unit – as in with two Play 360s, turning one off will also turn the other one off (and of course as noted before, as a pair, they can split the channel into left and right and they will say whether they are “left” or “right”
• Oddly changing volume on the phone doesn’t change volume on Play 360s (perhaps not with handsets tested? Maybe with N9?
• Most importantly: Sound is glorious and is loud “too loud” apparently. I’d like to hear that.
• I want one. No wait. I want two.
