#bluetooth 5.0

Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announces the new Bluetooth 5.0 which promises four times the range and with double the speed of the current version. It's also been reported that connectionless data transfers could be Bluetooth 5.0's most important feature. These, among others, are what we could be looking forward to when the Bluetooth 5.0 officially makes it to devices late this year or early next year. We've reviewed a handful of portable Bluetooth speakers in the past, but this one from Pioneer is a bit different. Is the Pioneer FREEme posing to be your next portable Bluetooth speaker? The front houses an LED light which acts as an indicator for power and Bluetooth connectivity status. Found at the rear is a rubber strip for the buttons and ports: (Left to right) Power, Bluetooth, Volume Down, Volume Up, Answer/End call, Reset, Aux, and microUSB. Press the Bluetooth button for two seconds and the LED light will pulse more quickly letting you know that it is ready for pairing.
