Best Tech 2013: Coolest new gadgets we want from CES UK Price: TBA (US Price: $800)


1. CES 2013: OD-11 Cloud Speaker

Tapping into online music services like Spotify, this wireless speaker has the kind of sleek minimalist look that cements its place on our CES 2013 wish list. Measuring in at 26x26x26 cm the cube shape speaker features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity with a 100w class D amplifier powering the sound performance. The accompanying remote responds to touch as well as twisting to adjust volume and thanks to power-saving friendly Bluetooth 4.0 should keep running for two years on a single battery.

Teenage Engineering OD-11 Cloud Speaker

We’ve never made an electronics purchase based on the remote. We’ve never seen a TV that was just okay but since it came with an awesome remote, we bought it. The OD-11 Cloud Speaker just might change that. Besides being an awesome way to pump your Spotify playlists, the OD-11 from Teenage Engineering comes with the coolest remote we’ve ever seen. The magnetic knob is wireless, so you can place it where ever you want and twist and turn it to control your volume and press it to control the track selection. You can even assign multiple remotes to different playlists so you can have a whole series of colorful dials throughout your home. (Link)
