Liddle Speakers Review – A Great Find At The PGA Show

Liddle Speaker ProGrade: ATeachers’ Comments: Small, Versatile, Big Sound

Among the great products I saw at the PGA Show was a magnetic Bluetooth speaker created by Dan Cass, an electrical engineer from St. Clair, Michigan.

The Liddle Speaker is exactly the sort of thing one would miss at the PGA Show if your focus is on checking off visits to the big names in a highly organized fashion. Liddle was located at a small raised table on the periphery of the show.

A Bluetooth speaker with a magnetic attachment feature is not unique, but the Liddle impressed me on two fronts: First, in its size. Second, in that it is specifically designed as a Mag Safe attachment for a phone.

As small as it is, the Liddle produces a big sound. I had Thing One — the eldest son, who is an audiophile — listen to it, and he was impressed. He noted rich bass and decent tones in the upper ranges. But,he thought the sound suffered a bit — tending toward “muddy” — when attached to the back of the phone because it was directed downward toward my desk. Detached, he thought it was better.

For my hearing (which admittedly is not great), it’s fine for the things I listen to: country, classic rock and podcasts.

Inventor Dan Cass said that the quality sound is a result of being able to shield the speaker from the magnet on the bottom. Since speakers operate via magnets it is important that other magnets don’t interfere with it.

The magnetic bottom is MagSafe compatible, and so will solidly attach to MagSafe phones or — like mine — phones with MagSafe cases. When attached like that, the Liddle functions as a kickstand in either the horizontal or vertical position.

The magnets of course also attach to other ferrous materials. This would be perfect for attaching to the roof structure on a golf cart or to a bit of metal on a push cart.

Detached, the bottom edges of the Liddle has a rubberized washer that keeps it from siding around. It works really well as a desktop speaker.

While I was at the booth, Cass demonstrated how the speaker could be used at the beach by pouring sand on the cloth speaker top; the sand left no grains behind when he turned it upside down. The fabric has a tight enough weave to not trap the grains.

The Liddle Speaker also has a built-in microphone, which means it would be good for impromptu tele conferences.

The company says that the speaker has eight hous of play time. I haven’t actually measured it, but they do seem to last a long time. I had mine running overnight playing brown noise at the hotel I stayed in while at the PGA show. It was still running in the morning.

I like the Liddle Speaker Pro quite a bit, and am thankful that Dan Cass gave me one for testing.
