Sleek and transparent, the SoundSticks Wireless III sound system is reminiscent of a jellyfish, even though it isn't necessarily shaped like one. Instead, it has an ethereal presence that will add a high end feel to any home. Almost exactly the same as its acclaimed and visually iconic first edition, which happens to have been inducted into the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection, it has been conveniently tweaked to forego wires completely.
Designed by Jonathan Ive, the senior vice president of industrial design at Apple, for Harman Kardon, the SoundSticks Wireless III sound system boasts Bluetooth connectivity for a cleaner experience. For the most part, however, the speakers are the same as its predecessor. The SoundSticks Wireless III system is equipped with 10 watt satellites and a 20 watt subwoofer.
