Grove's Innovative Speaker System Lets Multiple People Connect Playlists

— September 10, 2014 — Tech
There are tons of devices out there that are perfect for listening to music on your own, however it can be a challenge to share your music with others—Grove is an innovative speaker system to address some of the major issues that come with music sharing. Quite often, speakers are picky with the devices that can be connected via Bluetooth or cable, so you'd better hope that the one person who can hook up their phone to the speaker has good taste in music. Rather than running this risk, Grove is a speaker that lets everyone add their playlist to the speaker through the use of the Grove app for Apple and Android devices. When a song from your device is playing, Grove even sends you a notification so you can boast where those good beats are coming from.

The unique speakers are currently part of a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to finalize the speaker prototype and begin manufacturing.
