Singer-Honoring Portable Speakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Teenage Engineering and John Lennon Drop a New OB-4 Speaker

— October 14, 2024 — Tech
Musician John Lennon would have turned 84 years old on October 9th this year and to honor his legacy, Teenage Engineering has worked with Sean Ono Lennon to create a limited edition version of the OB-4 speaker dubbed the Mind Games Edition. The celebratory speakers nod to the Mind Games album by the artist from 1973 which fused immersive forms that had a premium sound and creative perspectives.

The OB-4 speaker is much more than a regular portable Bluetooth speaker, it is truly a collector's item for fans alike. It is made with inspiration from the album art and the design blends form and function in a sleek silhouette that celebrates the true artistic vision of Lennon. It is also preloaded with Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection with six newly remixed and longer versions of the album, meditation mixes, and more.
