This is a conceptual design that is inspired by the brand's heritage, tapping into the principles of retro design juxtaposed with modern technology. Every single element of the device was carefully thought out from the placement and perspective of each feature. The Audio1 stands out as it separates itself into two sections -- one of which is a speaker and the other side is an [integrated power bank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aulumu-m10-multicharging-power-bank). This offers multiple functions and also nods to [Brain's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-out-boy-album) commitment to deliver a clean design, presenting an organized visual as all controls are on one side.
