# Socket-Friendly Speakers The Speakerplug from Designit Makes Setting Up a Sound System a Snap By Michael Hines | Published 2012-12-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-speakerplug References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/Speakerplug-sound-everywhere/4042609) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/designit) The Speakerplug is designed for audiophiles who can't quite seem to keep their desks clean/OCD types who can't stand clutter. The unique speaker eliminates clutter by cutting out the middleman, in this case a remote and wires. The Speakerplug was created by Danish design firm Designit. The Speakerplug has a built-in receiver that lets it wirelessly play audio from smartphones, TVs and computers. A [plug-and-play wireless speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoan-desktop) would be great for those who can't seem to keep their computer's USB ports empty. Also, as mentioned earlier, a speaker with no wires and no remote reduces [desk/household clutter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modulo-1). Setting up a home audio system would be a lot easier to do if all you had to worry about was finding an empty outlet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wireless Audio:** Opportunity for audio companies to invest in wireless audio speakers, with a focus on the ease of setting up and reducing clutter. - **Plug-and-play Technology:** Investment in plug-and-play technology can simplify the consumer audio experience and appeal to those who want easy-to-use products. - **Minimalist Design:** Minimalist design could be used in creating audio products that appeal to those who want to reduce clutter, with a focus on simplicity and efficiency. ### Where This Applies - **Technology:** Technology industry can invest in developing affordable and easy-to-use wireless speakers that do not require remote and wires. - **Home Appliances:** Home appliance industry can create compact, plug-and-play speakers for hassle-free audio entertainment in households. - **Interior Design:** Interior design industry can apply a minimalist design to speakers to appeal to consumers who want to reduce clutter and maintain a clean and tidy space. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Newport Bluetooth Bright Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oc-acoustic.md) - [Minimalist Wireless Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-wireless-speaker.md) - [Tree-Inspired Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-pick-stand-speaker.md) - [Unified Audio Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ljud.md) - [Affordable Multi-Room Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dio-node.md) - [Ultra-Thin Chromatic Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diyr-speaker.md) - [Anti-Distraction Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cravt-speaker.md) - [Desktop Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orgdot-n200.md) - [Acousto-Optic Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-wireless-speaker-design.md)
