Aside from offering users a small speaker that can be taken almost anywhere, the Cowin Ark can be attached to the subwoofer base to help increase bass output. The innovative design of the Cowin Ark makes it a piece of equipment that's suited towards those who live [active lifestyles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ego-power-sk1800e), but still want advanced functionality when in-home. The [magnetic base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magboom-mini) on the Cowin Ark provides magnatec charging technology to make keeping the device powered easier than ever.
