There are several things these Cone Head speakers bring to mind (the film ‘Cone Heads’ and lava lamps, for instance), but I’m sure those weren’t what designer Kyong Choi had in mind when designing it. Other elements, like portability and wireless capability, were probably at the top of Choi’s list.
The Cone Head speakers are functional and portable speakers that can be connected wirelessly to different devices due to its Bluetooth technology. Along with its aesthetically pleasing design, the speakers also have an internal battery that can be charged by plugging into any wall outlet.
