# Minuscule Audiophile Speakers The 'ONEmicro' are Small Speakers that Pack DECT Technology By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-09-02 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-speakers References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/worlds-smallest-audiophile-wireless-speaker-hits-kickstarter-02-09-2016/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oneaudio/onemicro-the-worlds-smallest-audiophile-wireless-s) It's usually a fair assumption to assume that small speakers will provide an experience that's much less enveloping than larger counterparts, but the 'ONEmicro' looks to change this. Purported as being the "world's smallest audiophile wireless speaker," the 'ONEmicro' comes in several color options and will provide an experience unlike any other audio peripheral. The 'ONEmicro' speaker works by incorporating DECT technology to create a [stereo effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thunder-duo-max) that is split between two separate speakers. Users will experience a true separation of left and right audio rather than simply having the sound waves coming from a singular unit. The 'ONEmicro' are available now for preorder on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-bass-speaker) where the small speakers can be snagged for the low super early bird price of $118. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Small Speakers with DECT Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop smaller and more portable audio devices without compromising sound quality through DECT technology. - **Enveloping Audio Experience:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore ways to create immersive audio experiences using compact and portable speakers like the 'ONEmicro'. - **Miniaturized Audiophile Wireless Speakers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and manufacture high-quality wireless speakers in a compact form factor to cater to the needs of audiophiles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate DECT technology into a range of consumer electronic devices, such as smartphones, headphones, and tablets. - **Home Audio:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative audio solutions for home theater systems, soundbars, and smart speakers using DECT technology. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Support and invest in the development of groundbreaking audio technologies through crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Accessible Audiophile Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-bass-speaker.md) - [Dynamic Miniature Monolithic Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nocs-mini.md) - [Jewel-Like Structural Wireless Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obsidian-speaker.md) - [Accessible Audiophile Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kef-lsx-ii-lt.md) - [Next-Gen Wireless Speaker Components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mems-speaker1.md) - [Midcentury Modern Streaming Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cambridge-audio-evo-one.md) - [Inconspicuous Flat Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-speaker.md) - [Dynamic Premium Desktop Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ora4.md) - [Ultra-Thin Chromatic Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diyr-speaker.md)
