LG's Levitating Speaker Floats for 10 Hours

LG is set to launch a new portable speaker for the design conscious early on next year at CES 2022 with levitation seen as a selling characteristic. And who wouldn't want music existence pumped out of a floating speaker?

The LG Levitating Portable Speaker PJ9 consists of a wireless Bluetooth speaker that hovers over its base using the power of electromagnets. When fully charged, information technology can float and pump out music in all directions for upwards to ten hours. Merely when information technology runs out of juice the music doesn't finish. Instead, the speaker gently descends on to its base of operations, the aptly named Levitation Station, and starts recharging, all while continuing to play audio.

LG classes information technology as a portable speaker, with the ability to connect to 2 Bluetooth devices simultaneously, just it's clearly an audio device for the home. Maybe you'll conduct it room-to-room, or even into the garden. If you do want music exterior, and so the LG PJ9 is more than capable cheers to LG designing it to be IPX7 compliant.

An IPX7 rating is what the Apple Watch boasts, and information technology means a device can be immersed in up to 1m of h2o for up to xxx minutes without issue. And so you tin can accidentally knock this speaker into a paddling pool, or have it go on playing in the pelting and non worry.

The Levitation Station is useful beyond allowing the speaker to bladder and recharge. It also doubles every bit a subwoofer, meaning the LG PJ9 shouldn't be found wanting in the bass department, although simply testing will determine how good the audio is from this thing. LG claims 'flush mid-range tones and crisp highs' cheers to the utilize of Dual Passive Radiator technology.

CES is busy and noisy, meaning it volition be hard to determine how great (or not) the levitating LG PJ9 sounds unless LG has a serenity room setup. Hopefully pricing will as well be revealed at LG's berth in the Las Vegas Convention Center on January v 2022. I doubtable we'll demand to relieve up in order to afford one.
