Patterned Fabric Speakers

Bang & Olufsen's Speakers are Available in a Variety of Patterns

— September 11, 2017 — Tech

Most speaker systems have a rigid and industrial aesthetic to complement a technology-infused interior. This speaker system offers users something different by providing a textured cushioning that protects against vibrations and drops. The tube-shaped device is small enough to offer comfortable portability, as well as the latest in audio technology and high-quality acoustics. The patterned exterior is available in a variety of designs and colors, offering a fabric to appeal to anyone's personal aesthetic.

The softness of this device makes it perfect for throwing into a backpack, to add a musical element to one's next outing.
