Best Levitating Speakers

This floating speaker from Arc Star surely looks impressive even when it's turned off. Owing to the built-in magnet, it remains in a floating position while it is off, which allows saving power when you don’t use the device.

Speaking of power, thanks to the on-board 1500 mAh li-ion battery, the speaker can work for up to 10 hours straight without recharging. When such a need arises, the speaker can be charged wirelessly, owing to the charging station that it comes equipped with. Furthermore, it can also charge other devices that support wireless charging, which makes this model a good pick if you own multiple devices like these.

The issue we’ve had with this model is its relatively small power output, which might not suit some users that like listening to their favorite tracks on full blast. The sound quality, however, is surprisingly good for such a small speaker, so it is definitely not some gizmo model. What makes this particular model great in terms of autonomy is that it can be charged while it is floating and working at the same time, which not many other devices can do.

Wrapping things up, the Arc Star floating speaker will be a great addition to your audio system if you are looking to spice things up. Compatible with all Bluetooth devices, it can be used both for listening to music as well as for phone or Skype calls with ease.

Contrary to other similar models, the UP-SCS26B from UPPEL features sensor buttons instead of the regular ones. Thanks to this subtle yet highly convenient feature, it is much easier to skip and change music tracks, volume levels, as well as to answer and decline incoming phone calls.

The built-in lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 1000 mAh which provides you with up to 5-6 hours of continuous playback. Conversely, the charging station underneath the floating ball connects to the power socket or any other USB-powered device using the provided USB charging cable.

Moving on, this small gadget features full Bluetooth and NFC compatibility, which enables using the speaker with phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices that can transmit data wirelessly. The quick pairing mode makes it easy to synchronize both devices with just a single press of a button.

In order to make the speaker available for transmission, simply hold the pairing button for 3-4 seconds until it shows up on the list of Bluetooth devices. Furthermore, the NFC pairing is even faster and allows you to play music in under 2 seconds after you turn the device on.

All in all, if you are searching for a levitating Bluetooth speaker that is both loud, easy to pair, and has a good sound fidelity to it, then this model from UPPEL will be right up your alley.

The WB-46-3 from Infinity Orb is another ball-shaped speaker but with a little twist. This particular model features a full 360-degree surround sound and is quite powerful when it comes to the output volume. On top of that, it doesn’t need to be placed on a perfectly flat surface since its magnetic base features special support legs for added stability.

As an additional feature, the base of the speaker has a set of bright and colorful LED lights. You can choose their color and different lighting modes to spice up an already intriguing piece of sound hardware. The thing that we didn’t like, though, is the fact that the speaker doesn’t support wireless charging. And so, if the battery needs to be juiced up, you will need to connect the USB charging cable directly to it. Fortunately, the whole process takes less than an hour, so it won’t be that huge of an issue in the long run.

As far as the wireless capabilities are concerned, the gadget has Bluetooth 4.0 on board, which is compatible with both new and older mobile devices as well as with laptops and Bluetooth-enabled computers.

In the end, this Infinity Orb magnetic model is one of the best levitating speaker models in the medium price range. Smart and convenient to use, it will be a nice new touch to your desktop or room design that catches the eye as soon as it starts playing music.

Unlike other levitating models on our list, this speaker from KABADDI is floating not above but inside of the base that wraps around it. Once you turn it on, the speaker will turn its lights and draw your attention to its centerpiece - the levitating ball that produces the sound.

Visually, the KABADDI speaker has quite a luxurious look to it, which will surely satisfy users that seek something more elegant than a bunch of bright lights. Sonically, thanks to the resonant cone implemented in the speaker, you are getting a true surround sound that can be heard from any side of the speaker, including the areas above and below it, which is quite nice, considering the modest price tag.

As far as the autonomy of the speaker goes, the built-in lithium-ion battery allows the speaker to play music for up to 6 hours straight before it needs to be recharged, which is also a great result for a rather small speaker. In order to charge the device, you will also need to use the provided USB cable that connects to the base. All that being said, trying to set up the base for the ball to levitate properly can be a bit tricky at first. However, once you find the right spot on your table or a desktop, the speaker will levitate normally.

All things considered, if you are looking for something non-standard (even by levitating speakers' standards), then this model from KABADDI will be your go-to option. Despite some minor hiccups with the setup, this is still a great little speaker for the money.

The Atrend OFS1 magnetic floating speaker is made to impress and it surely does when it comes to the number of features included in the box. First of all, the frequency range of 40 Hz - 20 kHz combined with a remarkably powerful speaker (considering its small size) easily puts OFS1 among the most versatile levitating models around.

In order to charge the device, you will need to connect the included USB cable to the orb itself. Likewise, it is recommended to check the battery and charge it before you start balancing the speaker on top of the magnetic base. This will prevent potential issues with the magnet and will enable a quicker setup.

Thanks to the stable base and a fairly quick setup process, the OFS1 can act as a great portable speaker and not just as a simple stationary device. For your convenience, the piece is equipped with a built-in microphone, which allows using the speaker for voice calls, provided that you have paired it with your phone.

Finally, if you are looking for an affordable but convenient portable speaker with an intriguing twist to it, then this wireless Bluetooth speaker will be the perfect pick for that role. Light and compact, it can be used for both music playback as well as for casual conversations on the phone.
