Resonance-Powered Portable Speakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The LeapSonic Speaker Reflects Audio Off of Any Surface

— February 5, 2025 — Tech
The LeapSonic Speaker is a high-performance yet portable audio solution that will transform any surface into a speaker thanks to the advanced technology inside. The speaker works on any surface made out of wood, metal or even glass and will instantly start to play sound off of it to give the experience of a much larger audio system. The speaker can also work without any surface and will still create impressive audio performance to maximize versatility.

The LeapSonic Speaker features a construction designed by Karim Rashid that's inspired by the aesthetic of sound waves and the way that they spread out in a 360-degree manner. The speaker is powered by a 3,300mAh battery inside that will deliver up to eight-hours of use per charge.
