House Of Marley’s Get Together 2 Mini portable Bluetooth speaker is precisely described on the HOM site: small but mighty.

Like everything House of Marley produces, before the Get Together 2 Mini plays a tune, you see the high quality and craftsmanship. It’s crafted with the company’s unique look and style featuring a natural bamboo front, premium black rewind fabric around the body and a rubber back. And it’s delivered in 100% plastic-free and recyclable packaging.

The 20-watt, Bluetooth 5.0 speaker is loaded with features, including USB-C quick charge technology after up to 15 hours of playtime runs the internal battery down. High volume levels and sound modes will decrease the battery time. A full charge takes about two hours, and a quick charge for about 15 minutes with my 18-watt charger brought about four hours of playtime.

It has an IP67 rating, making it water- and dust-resistant. A built-in microphone allows it to take hands-free calls, and the multi-pairing function lets it be true to its name and come together with up to three speakers.

Inside, the 7.63-by-3.3-by-2.9-inch, 2.57-pound speaker has two front-facing 2-inch drivers and a dual passive radiator to pump out the bass from the back. The overall sound is everything and more you would expect from a portable speaker. In all playlists, the sound is powerful with a nice amount of bass and packs a punch with super sound and clarity.

While the Get Together 2 Mini isn’t pocket-sized, a small strap attached to the side can connect to your wrist, backpack or anywhere you desire. Buttons on the top control the music for play, volume, forward, back and call answering. The power button and EQ mode control are on the back. The built-in EQ modes include bass boost, acoustic, and Marley signature sound EQ.

The port for charging and a wired 3.5 mm connection are also on the back. Both are hidden by a rubber cover. When the ports are exposed, the speaker is neither water- nor dust-proof for that area, which is standard for any device. The rubber on the outside keeps the Get Together 2 Mini from vibrating, even at high volume levels.

With spring and summer around the corner, the House of Marley Get Together 2 Mini speaker is something you want around the house, poolside or at the beach. And when it’s time to work, it is an excellent side companion on your desk.

Leave it to Twelve South to create something innovative and flat-out cool. Their latest is the stylish HiRise Pro for MacBook height-adjustable stand to bring your laptop to eye level.
[–>
While a laptop is great for portability, it turns into a desktop computer when it’s on the HiRise Pro and is paired with your Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Or use it as a second monitor alongside an existing desktop monitor for a dual-screen experience. Either way, it’s perfect for a variety of uses.
[–>
Getting the right view for an ergonomic desk setup is done with the adjustable base, which fits all laptops up to 7 pounds, including MacBooks from 11-inch Air to 16-inch Pro. The adjustment ranges from 2.5 to 6 inches in height, making it easy to change from an operational mode to easier viewing angles on both sides of video conference calls.
[–>
Below the laptop sits a chamber to hold a MagSafe charger (not included) for compatible iPhones or AirPods. The charger pops in and out from the bottom, making it easy to remove if the stand is on the move. The HiRise Pro is constructed with a modern Apple look with silver metal construction and vegan leather trim, making it perfect to match other Apple accessories.
[–>
Twelve South states it’s the first height-adjustable, MagSafe-compatible MacBook stand. I haven’t seen any others, so I’ll stand by the claim. Either way, this is a well-designed and well-built accessory. After just a few days of use, I have no problem saying this is a perfect desktop accessory.
