Offering an unplugged alternative to audio listening are the Bheard acoustic speakers that make use of ceramic materials and shape to transmit the sound coming from a smartphone. The Bheard speakers are an ideal solution to amplifying sound in situations or locations when an outlet isn't available or wanted. Instead, the device naturally increases the pitch of the audio quality through the shape of the ceramic dish.
The Bheard speaker system is a curved ceramic bowl with an integrated smartphone stand that cleverly stands the mobile device at a specific angle so that the playing sound is amplified. The ceramic further enhances the quality of the sound as the vibrations bounce off of the curvature of the bowl.
