Cuddly Smartphone Speakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Koala Portable Speaker is a Cute and Cozy Way to Listen to Music

— January 2, 2014 — Tech
Whether you live in Australia or not, the koala portable speaker will make you believe you have a little bit of the country with you wherever you go.

This adorable plush device is known as the Hi-Koala Portable Speaker and it's designed to look like the perfect stuffed animal. However, the feet of the bear reveal two speakers, which means this cuddly toy is actually a music-making machine. By simply placing your smartphone in the arms of the koala bear, he'll keep your smartphone safe while you dance around your room like no one's watching. The koala portable speaker can also play music from an mp3 player and any device that has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

This cuddly koala has a battery life of 10 hours so you can also hug him while you doze off to soothing music.
