Wireless speakers are everywhere now, and it takes a lot to stand out from the Jambox by Jawbone and all the speakers trying to beat the Jambox. Most of them sound decent enough, particularly for low-fidelity streaming audio files, so novelty can make a product remarkable. That’s the idea behind the OM/ONE, a speaker housed inside a 3.5-inch diameter levitating ball.

Why consider the August over competitors like Lockitron or Goji? Yves Behar, the man behind the Jawbone Jambox speaker and the Jawbone UP, designed the August. The result is something that looks like the future, but is subtle enough not to distract from a door’s wood grain.

At three watts and an 1100-decibel output, it’s plenty loud—for comparison, a Jambox puts out 85 dBs—but its main appeal is in the presentation. The charging method is slightly inelegant, but at $199 for a pre-order, it’s priced competitively, especially when you consider it has speakerphone functionality.
