Although the Sony Glass Sound Speaker looks like it houses an Edison-style bulb, the actuality is that the product is much more futuristic than it lets on. Capable of playing music thanks to wireless Bluetooth connectivity, the speaker lamp features a glass cylinder that vibrates in response to the music. This is purported to mimic the nature of the human vocal cords for a more realistic auditory experience.
The illumination system is comprised of a series of LEDs that have been formed into a bulb-like aesthetic that merges with the music as it's played. What's created with the Sony Glass Sound Speaker is an overarching experience that's soothing, relaxation-focused and focused on providing healthy light and sounds.
