The OM/One Speakers Were Developed by OM Audio
Rahul Kalvapalle — August 13, 2014 — Tech
OM Audio, the manufacturer of such venerable audio gizmos such as the Mantra speakers and Inearpeace earphones, has well and truly delved into the world of bizarre novelty products with its new OM/One speaker, which levitates and is equipped with Bluetooth.
The OM/One speaker takes the shape of a compact sphere that floats above a magnetic base powered by an AC adapter. The speaker includes an integrated battery capable of providing enough juice for 15 hours of continuous play. The device is also fitted with an on-board microphone, so you can use it as a speakerphone.
Not only is the speaker's levitating effect cool to look at, but it also helps produce better audio since nearby objects won't absorb as much sound. Two OM/One speakers can be paired to produce stereo audio.
