'Teenage Engineering,' the consumer electronics company, has released the 'Teenage Engineering OB-4 Off-White' in collaboration with the streetwear brand 'Off-White.' This speaker is a large, bright orange square with a handle. Its design is reminiscent of "boom boxes" and radio players from the 70s, but with a modern streetwear twist. The speaker has a bright neon orange color and the "X" logo from Off-White to showcase its premium branding.
The speaker has all-in-one functionality for a modern audio player. It features analog inputs, digital inputs, Bluetooth capabilities, and a built-in radioreceptor. Essentially, this speaker can play nearly any audio source an individual would have in 2022. On top of this, the speaker has customizable audio channels. The user can adjust the volume of different strings of the music in real-time, such as the clarity, volume, distortion level, or other features.
