Home audio systems are rarely considered worth displaying; we want them to be heard, not seen. But a new connected speaker line from Urbanears—the first foray into home audio for the company, which is known for its headphones—aims to change that.
The speakers are simple, cloth-covered cubes that come in a variety of trendy colors, including millennial pink and jade green, as well as your basic black and grey, and they feature vintage-inspired design elements like two simple knobs that appear straight off an old-fashioned transistor radio. In keeping with the Scandinavian vibe, the two sizes have very Ikea-esque names: the Stammen ($350) and the Baggen ($450).
Each of the two sizes offer an array of connectivity offerings (Bluetooth, aux, WiFI, Spotify Connect, AirPlay, and Chromecast are all included).
