Levitating Bluetooth 4.1 Speaker
Check this out, a levitating Bluetooth 4.1 speaker, the Vortex. This cool looking portable wireless speaker comes with a magnetic base that will make sure that the orb-shaped speaker is up in the air as it’s playing your favorite tunes.
Powered by a built-in 1500mAh rechargeable battery (up to 8 hours of continuous audio playback), the Vortex features NFC pairing function, a micro-USB charging port and a USB 1A output port for charging your smartphone or tablet (located on the magnetic base), and makes use of Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity. In terms of performance, the Vortex can deliver a maximum power output of 5W.
On the inside, the speaker has things to impress you with as well. It features Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity, making for smooth, quick and stable communication with other gadgets. What’s more, it comes with the support of NFC (near field communication) for even more integration options. The 1500mAh battery gives you up to 8 hours of working time, whether you want to play music or chat with friends online. To power it up, just use the built-in USB port, which can also charge up your other gadgets, like smartphones or tablet.
The Vortex is available for $119. Can't wait for a death-star model :)
