In a [multimedia speaker market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tivoli-audio-boutique) that is increasingly characterized by extremely complicated speakers that come with all manner of buttons, knobs, jacks and plugins, JDSound's '[Ovo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-4)' speaker keeps things remarkably simple. The speaker uses a USB connection instead of Bluetooth to guarantee better sound quality and remove the need for extra bells and whistles. In fact, these USB speakers don't even have a power button and activate automatically upon being plugged into a device. Available for purchase on the Green Funding crowdfunding website, the Ovo USB speakers are a great option for anyone looking for a [compact speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stormbox-mini) that's high in sound quality and low on frills. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Simplified USB Speakers:** The trend of simplified USB speakers offers a disruption opportunity by focusing on user-friendly design and improved sound quality. - **USB Over Bluetooth:** The shift towards USB connection instead of Bluetooth in speakers presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation by providing better sound quality and eliminating the need for additional features. - **Compact and Portable Speakers:** The trend of compact and portable speakers opens up avenues for disruptive innovation by offering high-quality sound in a small and easily transportable package. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can leverage the trend of simplified USB speakers to create innovative products that prioritize user experience and sound quality. - **Audio Equipment:** The audio equipment industry can tap into the USB over Bluetooth trend to develop cutting-edge speakers that offer improved sound quality and greater convenience. - **Crowdfunding:** The crowdfunding industry can capitalize on the trend of compact and portable speakers by supporting campaigns that focus on innovative, high-quality, and easily transportable speaker designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Premium Desktop Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ora4.md) - [Accessible Audiophile Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-bass-speaker.md) - [Portable Wireless Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-minus-zero.md) - [Demure Distortion-Free Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kef-muo.md) - [Future-Proof Luxurious Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beosound-a5-portable-speaker.md) - [Fashionable Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-speaker-concept.md) - [Rugged Dual-Speaker Audio Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duvoss-speaker.md) - [Demure Desktop Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-pebble-x.md) - [Newport Bluetooth Bright Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oc-acoustic.md)
