It could be said that one of the design issues with speakers on the market is that they look like speakers, which is something these Urbanear room speakers look to solve. Looking like a [stylish cubic unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nocs-braque), the Urbanear 'Baggen' and 'Stammen' speakers are capable of offering [360-degree sound](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aa67-speaker) thanks to the wrap around design that has technology on all sides.

The Urbanear room speakers are outfitted with modern technology such as WiFi that enable them to be used wirelessly with your devices or even hooked up to an old turntable. This makes the Urbanear 'Baggen' and 'Stammen' speakers ideal for those who want to ensure they never have to compromise when it comes to listening to their [favorite music in their space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-music-studio-5-and-7).
