The Death Star Levitating Speaker!

The Death Star remains one of the most iconic symbols of the Star Wars universe. Loved, loathed, blown up in multiple movies, yet it's come back yet again, this time as the Plox Death Star speaker. This 5W Bluetooth mono speaker uses maglev technology to levitate in space (well an inch or two) above it's base. It offers 360 degree sound quality, but we were not able to hear it play at the Pepcom Holiday Spectacular, because they had a no-music-playing rule. (Also it's impossible to hear, let alone judge audio, at a crowded press event.) Fully charged you can expect up to 5 hours of continuous Bluetooth playback. And if you can't live without your Plox Star Wars Death Star Levitating Bluetooth Speaker, it can be carried as a portable speaker without the base. Along with many more Star Wars products, this will be available starting October 1st. MSRP $179.99. 

The small speakers in the video are called Star Wars Siren, also from Plox. They're also Bluetooth, and you just pull them open to turn them on. They'll include R2D2, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, BB8, plus 4 additional plain color speakers. (Blue, Pink, White and Black). 8 hours of battery life on full charge. MSRP $29.99
