This is a Portable Bluetooth speaker that is inspired by the positive and negative shapes of wave. It has two speakers, one of which is right side and the other is left side and also each of them is a part of the waveform. One of them is a positive wave shape and the other one is a negative wave shape. By placing these two speakers on top of each other when not in use, the product comes in the form of a black box. The mysterious sense of the black box encourages anyone to open up it and use the speaker.
