The speakers drastically enhance the iPad’s audio quality and at an asking price of $730, these speakers alone are more expensive than various versions of the iPad. The tool-meets-decor product allows the user a choice of three different speakers all depending on how the iPad is positioned. This device can sense the current position of the iPad and adjust the speakers accordingly. The BeoPlay A3 speaker is made of polycarbonate ABS plastic -- it can withstand high impact strength such as a high falls or heat damage. It is also equipped with an aluminum frame, fits both 1st and 2nd generation [iPads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hermix-nano) and boasts a 5-hour battery playing time. Although the BeoPlay speaker is not for sale right now, customers can sign up for a service through Bang & Olfulsen that notifies you when it hits the market.
