# Detached Dock-Less Phone Speakers The Omni HIFI System Doesn't Require a Dock to Play Music By Akihiko Tse | Published 2013-10-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omni-hifi-system References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/10/07/the-dock-is-dead-wireless-is-in/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Omni-HIFI/11083573) The Omni HIFI system is a collection of four modular, wireless speakers that can be controlled without the phone being docked in. Connected to your smartphone through wireless Bluetooth function, the Omni HIFI doesn't come with a dock that many speaker systems currently incorporate. By using Bluetooth, users can take their phone around with them without having to return each time the speaker chimes indicating that you've received a message or notification. The sleek, triangular speakers, designed by Indonesia-based Algi R Pangestu, comes in a set of four, and can be placed in various positions around the house in no particular order or arrangement. This gives users full flexibility in enhancing the sound in one room of the house -- adding more speakers to raise the volume further -- while having their phones in their pockets at all times. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Modular Wireless Speakers:** The trend of modular wireless speakers offers opportunities for companies to create customizable and versatile audio systems. - **Bluetooth Connectivity:** The trend of Bluetooth connectivity in speakers allows for convenient and wireless control of audio playback from a smartphone. - **Flexible Speaker Placement:** The trend of flexible speaker placement provides opportunities for companies to design speakers that can be positioned and rearranged without limitations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can capitalize on the trend of detached dock-less phone speakers by developing innovative products that provide seamless wireless audio experiences. - **Home Automation:** The home automation industry can benefit from the trend of modular wireless speakers by integrating them into smart home systems, allowing users to control and customize their audio experience. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage the trend of flexible speaker placement to create aesthetically pleasing audio setups that seamlessly blend with the overall design of a space. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Freestanding Smartphone Dock Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jteman-phone-stand-and-speaker.md) - [Posh Power-Free Smartphone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amplifying-speaker.md) - [Separated Three-in-One Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-speaker.md) - [Modular Audio Immersion Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeout-speaker.md) - [Phone Charger-Infused Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-chargerinfused-speaker.md) - [Stealthy Multifunctional Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eko-system.md) - [Two-in-One Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-plus-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Tree-Inspired Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-pick-stand-speaker.md) - [Futuristic Five-in-One Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-bluetooth-speaker.md)
