WiC Reviews: The Mo wireless speaker is perfect for Game of Thrones on the go

facebooktwitterreddit

Not everyone can re-watch Game of Thrones season 8 from the comfort of their home on a 60″ television. In fact, with the plethora of old and new streaming services to choose from these days, many people are able to watch their favorite shows on the go, from the ease of their laptops and mobile devices.

In the past, transitioning from your television to a portable device meant you had to sacrifice audio quality…unless you were using headphones. And don’t get me started on having multiple people huddled around a laptop trying to remain quiet so everyone can hear, for instance, Jon Snow growl through one of his two favorite lines in season 8: “I don’t want it,” and “you are my queen.”

The solution to getting the best audio from your laptop or mobile devices has been Bluetooth wireless or USB enabled speakers. Choosing the right portable speakers could be a hassle too, which meant a choice between dropping roughly $200 or more on a high-end speaker or sacrificing quality for affordability.

But now, thanks to the all-new Mo Bluetooth speaker by POW, you can enjoy that rare quality surround sound only the top-of-the-line products produce, while not emptying your bank account to get it. I was able to give the speaker a test drive for the Game of Thrones series finale, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Let’s dig into the features and what I’ve experienced using the Mo for almost a month now.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the box the speaker was delivered in, was how compact it was. Mo is a mini-speaker and sits comfortably on my laptop table with plenty of room to spare. Of course, it’s wireless but does come with a short USB charging cable for when the battery is low.

But you don’t always need to keep Mo next to your laptop — and this is where POW really hit a home run — as it comes with a universal mount support that also features a magnetic design, meaning you can hang the speaker on your wall or your fridge…or both. Mo can also be stereo-synced with other Mo speakers so you can enjoy a quality, higher volume, as well as an extended reach past one unit’s 100-foot range. Oh, and the magnetic mount also allows you to attach Mo to your smartphone, as it is compatible with iPhones and Androids alike.

And now for what makes Mo such a great choice for your Bluetooth needs: WaveBloom technology. The speaker is expandable, which when fully expanded fills the resulting chamber with air, delivering a sound unmatched by previous Bluetooth speakers I’ve owned. The chamber can be collapsed and attached to your smartphone via the magnetic design and can easily fit in your pocket or bag…and no, the magnets don’t interfere with your phone’s performance, battery life or wireless charging.

So far, I’ve used Mo with my MacBook, my iPhone, and iPad and it has synced perfectly with each device. In fact, now that I’ve used it with all my devices, the speaker is discoverable, meaning all I need to do is click the “on” button on Mo, and high-quality audio automatically syncs up to the device I’m using at the time.

The Mo expandible wireless speaker by POW is just $79.99 and comes in two colors: graphite or snow. It comes with a short USB charging cable, one magnetic universal click mount, and one POW wallet that attaches to Mo and holds your cash and cards, fitting into your pocket or bag. Mo can play up to eight hours before needing to be charged, features Bluetooth 4.2, a 100-foot range, and is water resistant so you can take it to the beach or on camping trips this summer without worrying about getting it wet.

You can also purchase a textured case that is compatible with iPhone 7/8, 7Plus/8Plus, X/XS, XR, XS Max for $17.99.

Sure, Game of Thrones is over forever, but there’s still hope the prequel, based on the Age of Heroes and the Long Night will get a full series order. And with Watchmen, His Dark Materials, and Westworld season 3 all coming to HBO this year and next — as well as the highly-anticipated Stranger Things 3 on Netflix July 4 and The Mandalorian on Disney+ when it goes live in November — now is the perfect time to purchase your own Mo from POW so you can enjoy the very best audio experience for half the price of what the top-shelf Bluetooth speakers are going for.
