Whether you're throwing a party or settling in with some tunes, chances are your smartphone will be on its auxiliary leash right next to the speaker system. It's sad leaving your device unattended, and it's no fun hunching over or ? gasp ? getting up just to be within reach. The $179 Phorus PR5, which is currently only available stateside, utilizes a clever set of technologies that can set your phone free, back into your pocket, and upgrade your speaker system into a wireless setup.The receiver smartly takes advantage of your Wi-Fi connection to stream lossless audio within a smartphone app to your speakers. Being able to rejuvenate technology that you already own in ways you never imagined is amazing, but at $180, is it worth it?DesignThe Phorus PR5 is a thin, attractively designed, oval-shaped device that's no bigger or heavier than a modern router. It's small enough to slide into small spaces in your entertainment center, but it'd be wise to keep it out of cramped spaces.
