Enjoying music from a speaker used to mean that everyone around you had to as well, but the Akoustic Arts 'A' directional speaker is designed to change this. Rather than simply play music into the surrounding area, the Akoustic Arts 'A' speaker uses ultrasonic waves to focus music in one direction. This allows users to listen to music without having to wear headphones thanks to the anti-noise pollution design of the speaker.
The Akoustic Arts 'A' directional speaker is currently funding on Indiegogo where the brand has already garnered nearly $130,000 at the time of publication. With current projections, the Akoustic Arts 'A' speaker is set to be shipped out to campaign backers in September 2016.
