Bluetooth has too much lossy compression and latency to be used for game or movie sound. It will drive you nuts.

Mono… Unless you have some kind of clever way to pair 2+ and route each channel to the proper speaker, uses are limited. Bandwidth and latency concerns increase with multiple speakers that MUST be in-sync, even for just music.

a) how come the engineers at my job don’t look like these two?
b) As a technical writer, please please please stop describing your design as “intuitive.” It is just so overused as to be useless. Every product I’ve ever had to write about the marketing team has described as “user friendly” and “intuitive.”

New things are usually remixes of existing things…

Absolutely nothing new about this. My sleep machine works off the same principle, they probably just added a speaker. But they sure are pretty, the speakers and the boys.
