The advancement in Bluetooth technology has spawned a new kind of speaker that will totally blow your mind. This speaker is called OM/ONE. Not only does it play music wirelessly, but it is basically a floating orb that spins around while playing music. The Bluetooth technology in this device will be able to connect to tablets, Smartphones and computers. Now in order for it to float, it has to be hovering over its base support. However, the orb will still play music if you take the orb off its base, but it won’t be able to float or spin without it. There has been no information released yet as to how the orb is able to float, but critics have speculated that it has something to do with special magnets in the base and orb. When the orb is away from the base, you can toss it around or put it in your pocket and it will still work. The OM/ONE can even be used to make conference calls because it has a built-in microphone inside the orb. On a single charge, the orb should be able to stay powered for a total of 15 hours. That gives you plenty of time to use it in a party or conference call setting.
Financial backers of this development will be able to get it for around $179 while non-backers will have to pay $199. There has been no official release date for the product, but people who preorder will be guaranteed its delivery by the end of the year. The big question is, “How many people will want to preorder this?” The floatation technology of the orb is visually appealing, but there is no certainty as to whether or not this affects the quality of the audio. Whether you use this orb to play music or make calls on, it always helps to have clear speakers when audio is played through them. There has been no announcement about the quality, so people still have to wonder about that before they preorder. Even if you get the speaker at $179, it is still a lot of money to spend on a small speaker that simply looks cool. So, the price factor may deter people away from purchasing it. On the other hand, there are techies out there that love to purchase the newest technological gadgets, even if they aren’t perfect in quality. So, it will be interesting to see the outcome from the sales of this device.
