Pyramidal Wireless Speakers

The FAVI Audio+ Speaker Seamlessly Amplifies Your Smartphone

— April 30, 2014 — Tech
The Favio Audio+ is a pyramid-shaped wireless speaker that can automatically amplify smartphone sounds. The device uses 'Set to Connect' technology; this means users don't need to plug their phone into the speaker or pair it via Bluetooth. Instead, they just turn the speaker on and set their device on the speaker to get it to work.

The Favio Audio+ works using the principles of electromagnetic induction. This makes it easier to manufacture and, therefore, cheaper to buy -- it can be yours for only $39.99.

The speaker comes with a short USB cable with which it can be connected to a computer or USB power adapter and charged. Other than the USB port, the only additional features of this minimalist device are a sliding power switch and blue and red LEDs that indicate when the power is switched on. The lights also flash to the rhythm of the sounds being played through the speaker.
