# Sound Diffusion Speakers The 'Cisor' Pocket Speaker Diffuses Sound Off the Surface it's on By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-01-16 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-speaker References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/wireless-speaker-16-01-2017/) & [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cisor-the-smallest-most-powerful-speaker-bluetooth) The 'Cisor' is a new pocket speaker that features an amplifying design aesthetic that enables it to be a powerful piece of equipment that's quite small in size. The secret to the 'Cisor' speaker's small size is the lack of cone for diffusing the sound; the speaker instead makes use of the surface it is placed on to bounce the soundwaves into a space. The 'Cisor' pocket speaker can be utilized in a number of different scenarios in order to provide clear sound resonance without the need for a large design. The lack of a cone within the 'Cisor' speaker makes it a more versatile option as it will presumably not fall victim to as much wear and tear for a great listening experience all the time. The 'Cisor' speaker is crafted from anodized aluminum and is priced competitively at $49. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Surface Diffusion:** The 'Cisor' speaker utilizes the surface it is placed on to diffuse soundwaves, creating a potential trend for surface diffusion technology in the audio industry. - **Pocket-sized Audio:** The 'Cisor' speaker's small size and clear sound resonance create an opportunity for the development of more pocket-sized audio technology. - **Cone-less Speakers:** The lack of a cone in the 'Cisor' speaker opens up the possibility for cone-less speaker designs that rely on surface diffusion for sound resonance. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Audio:** The 'Cisor' speaker's unique design presents an opportunity for innovation in the audio industry with regards to speaker size and sound diffusion technology. - **Consumer Electronics:** The 'Cisor' speaker's competitive pricing and design potential make it a disruptive innovation in the consumer electronics space. - **Mobile Accessories:** The pocket-sized design of the 'Cisor' speaker creates an opportunity for mobile accessories companies to innovate and develop more compact audio technology for on-the-go listening. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Resonance-Powered Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leapsonic-speaker.md) - [Dice-Inspired Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominote-speaker.md) - [Geometric Foldable Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentatonic-1.md) - [Posh Power-Free Smartphone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amplifying-speaker.md) - [Targeted Audio Wave Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zipp-speaker-concept.md) - [See-Through Private Listening Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-directional-speaker.md) - [Acousto-Optic Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-wireless-speaker-design.md) - [Fashionable Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-speaker-concept.md) - [Textured Acoustic Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhapsody.md)
