The range of speakers on the market is as saturated as the sky on a clear night with stars, so you have to do something really special to stand out. Since the North Star was already occupied, something else had to be found. And the Om/One was born, a speaker that floats with the help of a magnet and will probably be a real magnet for buyers because of its appearance, especially since it quickly caught on to the audio nickname Death Star.
Loudspeaker Om/Them, which comes from the solar Oakland in California, hovers 2.5 centimeters above the ground or above its base, giving the listener the ability to while listening rotates and adjusts at will. In appearance, it is a mixture of a soccer ball and Death stars from the film franchise Star Wars, to connect and disconnect the device, and connect to the smartphone via bluetooth but he cares sensor on its surface. But does this speaker have more weight than just the fact that it behaves as if it is in zero gravity? David DeVillez, co-founder Om Audio, says that it offers precisely floating the best audio experience, as this enables optimal setting listening angle.

It has a speaker under the shell 3-watt amplifier (according to RMS criteria) and can produce sounds with a strength of up to 110 dB, while its competition, such as the Jawbine Jambox or Beats Pill, uses 9 to 10 watts for the same power. An advantage Om/One draws right from hovering, as the speaker does not touch the surface and therefore there is no loss or suffocation of tones, which in translation means that it does not need such a powerful amplifier. Although it is not the lightest, that does not mean that it is not suitable for transport. Especially if we know that this audio 'Pokemon ball' also hides inside microphone and in addition to listening to music, it also allows making calls. One more proof that the future is literally hanging in the air.
The speaker goes on sale in December, and you can secure it today on their Web site.
