# Split Bluetooth Speakers CES 2015 Marks the Launch of the Prodigy Bluetooth Speaker from A-Audio By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-01-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prodigy-bluetooth-speaker References: [a-audio](http://a-audio.com/) This year at CES 2015, A-Audio is introducing the [Prodigy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prodigy-agency) Bluetooth Speaker, touting its ability to transform from a single tower to two split speakers. This way, with magnets, the speaker provides a customizable sound experience, providing listeners the option to have sound delivered from one booming source, or two separate ones. The tower adopts a unique hexagonal shape, projecting sound into all directions. The [cable-free Bluetooth speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-bluetooth-speaker1) introduce what A-Audio calls 'Three-Stage Listening Technology,' which provides three listening modes, including: Audio, Base Enhancer and SurroundEffect. The versatility of the speaker and its [compact size](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stormbox-mini) are two qualities that make this speaker ideal for use on the go—the Prodigy Bluetooth Speaker even has a Micro USB port to charge smartphones. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modular Bluetooth Speakers:** Bluetooth speakers with modular design presenting opportunities for personalization and sound optimization. - **Multi-functional Bluetooth Speakers:** Versatile Bluetooth speakers offering multiple listening modes and charging options creating more value for consumers. - **Directional Bluetooth Speakers:** Directional Bluetooth speakers that customize sound direction for a more immersive listening experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Manufacturers who provide modular and multi-functional Bluetooth speakers can attract customers seeking innovative devices. - **Mobile Devices:** Bluetooth speakers with charging capabilities make them a valuable accessory for smartphone and tablet manufacturers. - **Music and Entertainment:** Companies offering directional Bluetooth speakers can enable users to experience sound in a more immersive way while listening to music and watching media content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Building Block Audio Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Geometric Two-Part Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-bluetooth-speaker-design.md) - [Futuristic Five-in-One Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Two-in-One Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-plus-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Highly Functional Speaker Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetooth-audio.md) - [Geometric Foldable Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentatonic-1.md) - [360-Degree Audio Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epicboom.md) - [Spatial Audio Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/era-speaker.md) - [Future-Proof Luxurious Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beosound-a5-portable-speaker.md)
