How speakers work
From the desk of the product designer:
Behind the design
“We didn’t originally set out to design a speaker that was as visual as it was vibin’. But during an early test run, we happened to scatter some beads on a speaker cone. It was so fun watching the beads dance around, we knew we had to make that a part of the project — but with colorful foam balls, of course. We added the tubes later . . . after the speaker sent the balls flying all over the place. (Oops.)”

i liked that you can connect your phone/tablet to it.I think that you should make it have a bluetooth connection so i can play my music when i have my phone in my pocket.

It was great!!! It was missing a few parts, but we got the parts that were missing really quick! The speaker is super good too!
