A Device That Syncs Music Throughout Your Whole House, From Ex-Google Guys

Share

Have you ever tried to stream music wirelessly to multiple speakers in your home at the same time through Bluetooth or even something like Apple's wireless audio and video streaming technology AirPlay, you might have noticed that the tunes coming out don't actually sound very good. 

Beep is an audio adapter Developed by two Ex-Google guys that will not only let you stream music wirelessly to any speaker in your house, but will sync that music perfectly between multiple rooms, all at a fraction of the cost of other systems, and with an aesthetic any design lover will appreciate.



To control Beep, you can either press the knob to turn it on or off, or turn it to adjust the volume.In fact, if you're not using your Beep, it could be mistaken for a metal sculpture.


Given the popularity of Apple's AirPlay, which ships built into every iPhone, iPad, and Apple router sold, that might seem like a solved problem, but not so, Wi-Fi loses packets of data all the time, and latency delays can vary wildly between multiple devices connected to the same router. That's the reason that AirPlay can't synchronize multiple speakers playing in different rooms, and why companies that do specialize in such solutions are so expensive: a Sonos component that does roughly the same thing that Beep does costs$349.99. Comparatively, the Beep is a steal at just $99 each.This initial product is up for pre-order with wider partnerships planned for the future.
