Sound takes flight with Libratone’s Bird Bluetooth speaker

Birthdays are usually celebrated with a fancy meal or by accepting too many free drinks in the pub. Not Libratone’s. In honour of the Danish audio brand’s 10th birthday, it’s decided to gift itself a wireless Bluetooth speaker shaped like a little bird. Based on the company’s logo, the Bird speaker weighs in at a very portable 145g and features touch controls. It’s also compatible with voice assistants, so you can add a bird to the growing list of things Alexa lives inside. It’ll last for 10 hours between charges and can be paired with another Bird to form a decidedly less annoying duo than the two crows that meet up for a chat just outside your bedroom window each morning. There’s a magnetic base for easy perching on a metallic surface, while an optional holder acts as a permanent nest for the flappy little dude. The £59 Bird is available to buy now.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Harry Kane is never going to leave Spurs.
