Another interesting feature of the DA-F61 is SoundShare that allows users the flexibility to pair the speakers with a TV to enhance the sound quality of your favourite TV show, movie and sporting event without making it louder.

The DA-F61 wireless speaker delivers the same audio quality as a Hi-Fi sound system and incorporates a built in battery that gives users approximately up to 10 hours of playback on a full charge. Supporting apt-X technology, the DA-F61 delivers high-definition audio without loss of quality, while the neodymium speaker and a passive bass radiator produce dynamic, accurate and crisp sound for improved listening experience. The bass level can also be controlled and tailored to your taste which adds to the appeal of the DA-F61.

The enhanced auditory UI and LED indicators on the DA-F61 eliminate the need for physical buttons and add more function and style to the portable sound system. The conveniently placed LED indicators allow easy access and visualisation of the speaker’s operating status, while the Auditory UI helps to fine-tune settings.

Connectivity options include the standard 3.5mm headset jack, a USB port for service use and a port for the DC power adapter. The latter lets you connect to the mains and charge the built-in lithium-ion battery. The Samsung DA-F61 wireless Bluetooth speaker is available in the market at Rs. 17,990/-.
