Responsive Portable Speakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sony's Smart Bluetooth Speaker BSP60 is a Mobile Office Assistant

— March 17, 2015 — Tech
Useful for conference calls, playing music, listening to voice commands and serving as an intelligent alarm clock is the Smart Bluetooth Speaker BSP60 from Sony.

Since the tiny do-it-all spherical speaker is capable of responding to prompts like a real person, the design of the sphere gives it quite a lot of personality. For instance, when the speaker prepares to listen, after a user says "Okay speaker," a microphone icon appears on its front, accompanied by two disks that pop up like a pair of ears. When playing a musical track, the sphere becomes illuminated and these discs move as if the animated speaker is dancing. Charm aside, with voice recognition and Bluetooth technology, this device is helpful for setting up timers, checking for incoming messages and performing simple tasks hands-free.
