Shinola Revamps Bookshelf Speaker Lineup With Bluetooth, Barefoot Sound

Lifestyle brand Shinola said Monday it partnered with Barefoot Sound, a manufacturer of professional audio recording monitors, to create its first Bluetooth bookshelf speaker system. It's Barefoot's first foray into the consumer market. The two companies re-engineered Shinola bookshelf speakers with a higher level of sonic quality based on Barefoot's pro-audio experience and Shinola's design prowess, they said. The speakers, with RCA, auxiliary, optical and USB ports, were assembled and tested in Barefoot's Portland, Oregon, facility. The speakers are slated to ship Thursday at $1,500 a pair.
