Phorus has been around for a few years now. They started with the PS1 Wireless speaker and are now announcing the availability of the PS5 speaker. These speakers use WiFi to stream music allowing you to stream from any room as long as you have the app (if you’re using Airplay or Bluetooth you don’t even need the app). Even when you’re on the PC you can stream from any web service.
You can use the DTS Play-Fi technology to take more control of the sound, such as setting up left and right sides (with multiple speaker) to get true stereo sound.
The Phorus PS5 Speaker ($229) and newly announced PR5 Receiver ($179) are compatible with the full line-up of other DTS Play-Fi enabled products offered by leading audio brands and are available at major retailers everywhere. BUY HERE
