Motorola has announced the new Moto Stereo Speaker
mod for its Z series of smartphones. As with other mods, it is designed to work
with all the Z series phones. Unlike the last two speaker mods that were built
in partnership with JBL, the Moto Stereo Speaker mod is made by Motorola
itself. It features stereo speakers and a kickstand to prop up the phone at an
angle in landscape mode, just like the JBL mods.
Unlike the JBL mods, the Moto Stereo
Speaker does not have its own battery, which means it drains the phone every
time you use it. The JBL SoundBoost 2 is also splash proof, making it ideal to use
around the pool or the beach.
At US$ 80, the JBL SoundBoost 2 is more expensive than
the US$ 60 Moto Stereo Speakers. However, with the current sale on the SoundBoost
2, both can be had for the same price, which makes the JBL a much better
solution between the two.
