Pocket-Sized Wireless Soundbars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Dash7 Mini Speaker Promises Great Sound

— January 5, 2013 — Tech
Next week marks the latest Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and one of the new products already being revealed is this wireless soundbar by Soundmatters.

The technology for wireless speakers has been around for a while, and we've seen them in various manifestations before. The actual idea isn't new. However, as the technology and its applications grow, manufacturers and designers look for new ways to innovate and make it easier to use and easier to transport.

This wireless soundbar is the foxL DASH 7 pocket-portable Bluetooth speaker (which may make the product's name bigger than the actual product itself.) It includes a noise cancelling technology and measures just 0.7 inches tall and 7.1 ounces in weight. This wireless soundbar is so small, you might just forget where all that sound is coming from.
Trend Themes
1. Wireless Soundbars - The trend of creating smaller and more portable wireless soundbars is disrupting the traditional speaker industry and providing new opportunities for audio technology innovation.
2. Pocket-sized Audio Devices - The trend towards smaller and more portable wireless speakers and soundbars is also inspiring innovation in battery-life and other key features needed by consumers wanting to take their music with them wherever they go.
3. Noise Cancelling Technology - The growing trend towards wireless and pocket-sized speakers is providing opportunities for leveraging noise-cancelling technology to enhance the consumer audio experience on-the-go.
Industry Implications
1. Audio Equipment Industry - The trend towards pocket-sized and portable wireless speakers is transforming the audio equipment industry, providing disruptive opportunities for those manufacturers willing to adapt their product offerings.
2. Smartphone and Tablet Industry - The trend towards more portable wireless speakers and soundbars is creating new opportunities for integration with smartphones and tablets, inspiring innovative new products and services.
3. Consumer Technology Industry - As the trend towards wireless, pocket-sized speakers continues, new opportunities are being created across the broader consumer technology industry for those seeking to develop innovative new audio products and services.
