This video features an odd gadget. This little hollow feeling speaker uses induction technology to amplify the speaker of any device you place on top of it. It's actually quite surprising to hear the increase in volume in the absence of a bluetooth or wifi connection to the speaker directly. Is the quality as good as a high-end bluetooth speaker? Not quite, but this thing could still be quite useful given the right application.

Wow, this looks like a good speaker for people who want to save battery life by not using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for transmitting the sound signal to a wireless speaker.

But, I feel a wired 3.5 mm speaker would be a better choice because it is simpler, and cheaper. The sound may also be better when the sound is coming from a 3.5 mm jack.

Plus, a wired speaker allows you to move the phone around depending on how long the audio cable is.

Not ideal if you want to move your device around, or have something large. But that would be an excellent drop and listen toy to have around.

Using a large rubber band, clamp or string to tie your phone and this speaker will make it movable without losing sound.

Not the best looking solution, but it would work.

Using a thinner type of string like Dental Floss or Fishing line string may make the string less noticeable.

It may not be very hard to use wood, or card board to make a custom case to hold both the speaker and smartphone, so they are touching each other.

I guess this is ideal if you are looking for something simple to use to amplify the sound coming from your phone. If you are moving around a lot it probably wouldn't be ideal but for things like parties at home and such this could work or even for louder sound if you are doing stuff around the home.

I agree this speaker is good for quickly amplifying sound without the need for a cable, or connecting it to a wireless Bluetooth or WiFi signal.

There is a 3.5 mm input jack on the speaker's side, so it is possible to plug-in a Bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter to turn this speaker into a wireless speaker if you need the wireless functionality.

Users maybe able amplify sound from a bluetooth speaker or ear phones which is connected to their phone when the wireless speaker or ear phone is place on top of these speakers.

User's can also use a longer 3.5mm audio cable if they don't mind their phone being connected to the speaker with a long audio cable.
