The weather is amazing, and we are all striving outdoors now. We are having meals, reading, sunbathing, swimming and of course we are having parties. For a great party, besides a grill you’ll need some music to create an ambience. That’s why a portable and functional speaker is a must for outdoor parties, and if you are going to the beach or somewhere else, it may be really helpful. Let’s have a look at them.
The Banano by Jarim Koo has a front panel acts as a protective layer for the grille and also prevents dirt from entering the 45 mm full range speaker. By using a high-powered magnet at the tip of the bended cover, not only it does keep it closed when needed, but also acts as a loop for hanging the Banano anywhere. The surface is made of silicon, with only essential buttons on the uni-body. The side only showcases a USB-C charging port and a 3.5 mm audio jack connector, with a cover when not in use.

The Luna Eye gets its name from the eye shaped element in the center. The ‘eye’ is actually a tweeter, or secondary speaker, that is used for notification sounds, so your audio doesn’t get interrupted. Around this secondary speaker is a ring of light that complements the tweeter to give you visual feedback. Now isn’t that way too cool?!

German design studio ding3000 introduces the monkey radio / speaker as a snap-on portable device that can be hung pretty much from anywhere. For versatility, the design offers two different positions which adapt to several functions. When the antenna is straight, the product is turned into a static object. But when the strap is bent like a monkey’s tail, the radio becomes a playful mobile companion.

As the name implies, the Blossom references the shape and function of the floral; an audio-dispersing cone sits within a cylinder, opening upward for playback and emanating music every direction with controls available across the top of its flexible spandex material cover. When pushed down, the cone element slides securely into the cylinder for compact and safe travel.
