Can you tell Christmas is coming? We are revving up the giveaways here at WellConnectedMom to give you chances to win some great prizes to gift yourself or someone else. We’ve already given away a Dell Venue 8″ tablet, a Nescafe Dolce Gusto Specialty Coffee Brewer, we’re currently giving away an ASUS cool 2-in-1 tablet and phone, and now we are giving away the SOL REPUBLIC’s super cool DECK wireless speaker. Read further and you will see how you might win one for yourself!
The SOL REPUBLIC DECK is one of the coolest wireless speakers we have reviewed. The sound is absolutely amazing with rich tones and great bass. Its rectangle size is a a good size at 7 in x 3 inch by 1 inch, though still pocket-able. The SOL REPUBLIC DECK is made by Motorola id is very durable. You will immediately be impressed with with its 360° Full Sound.
What’s unique about the DECK is its ability to pair with up to 5 people’s smartphones via Bluetooth or NFC. This means you just quintupled your sound library by joining together the music from 5 different people. Don’t like the song that is playing, just select a song on your phone and your music will trump the other person’s song! But don’t do it too many times and people will start to do it back to you! Just think of the fun you’ll have combining music with a bunch of friends.
SOL REPUBLIC DECK Features
- Heist feature where music can be added and controlled by 5 different phones via Bluetooth
- Can turn off Heist mode and only have your phone control the DECK
- NFC (Near Field Communication) and Bluetooth compatible
- Can still be connected, even up to 300 feet away (using NFC)
- The Outdoor Mode gives you a boost in sound so the music can be heard from further away
- Stereo-Out jack allows you to share and control music through your receiver or car stereo
- Acts also as a speakerphone to receive incoming calls

PROS:
- The sound is awesome with a great rich sound and low bass
- Heist mode is fun for entertainment and expanding music library options
- Using the NFC extends how far your phone can be away from the speaker…by 300 feet
- Its 1 in. thickness makes it easier to pocket or put in a purse
- This DECK is all gray and black, but it splashes different LED colors to indicate it’s on (also available in other colors!)
- Reasonably priced considering the quality
- Has a slight rubber backing to help hold it’s place better on a table or hard surface

CONS:
- There is no on-going light indicator that stays on when the DECK is on, so it’s hard to know if it’s on or off

- while in the spa or pool
- while working out

A Mom’s Perspective
As I stated earlier, we have looked at a number of wireless Bluetooth speakers before, but the DECK really has sparked my attention due to it’s rich sound, NFC pairing, and Heist abilities. For such a small speaker, the bass is really good. The Heist mode is fun to play with.
Besides having everyone join in on the music at a gathering, you can play music games too, like “Name this Tune.” It’s always interesting to see what old archived songs people have active on their phones and this is a fun way to hear them…and learn a bit more about a person based on their music tastes!
The DECK is pretty lightweight and easy to pack up and take places. I took it with us to our timeshare down at Newport Beach so we could enjoy music in our unit. I have paired it with my laptop too so we could watch YouTube videos and it has great sound. It’s great for Netflix movies too. Once, I even took the DECK with me on a road trip so we could hear our favorite tunes from our phones in the middle of the desert, where there were no radio signals.
If you’re looking for something your kids will enjoy, the DECK is an instant winner. The DECK will fill their rooms with sound and give a louder voice to their favorite tunes caged up on their phones or tablets. And with its great sound and LED light color flashes that take place when you start it up, it will surely get people’s attention. But what I like best about the DECK for kids/teens, is its collaborative effort for kids to share their music with each other and enhance their experience collectively.
So go ahead and try to win on for Christmas…good luck!
