Everyone's favorite value for money accessory maker
just made the Zolo Liberty+ official for retail purchases, graduating it from
Kickstarter with flying colors not long ago. The plus sign comes from
outfitting the new Zolos with Bluetooth 5.0, which is the latest and greatest
wireless transfer standard that is twice faster and less energy-consuming than
Bluetooth 4.2 which wireless buds come equipped with so far, but also has
optimizations that should make dropped tunes and syncing problems an issue of the
past.
In celebration of Bluetooth 5.0, the future will
cost you US$ 50 more than the standard Zolo Liberty, or US$ 149.99, but the 3.5 hours
of battery life on a charge puts Anker at a disadvantage against a lot of
direct competitors. The Liberty+ did cost US$ 79 at one point two months ago for
early backers, but if you missed that shot, you have to pay for the Kickstarter
graduation ceremony.
