DESIGN NAME: Oraimo Obs300
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Speaker
INSPIRATION: Inspired by space futurism aesthetics, this speaker is designed to resemble a frozen capsule. Such a product, paired with the replaceable speaker grille and the design for stable placement, is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. With a profound understanding of the listening needs of young users, the design team has experimented with various materials and techniques, and finally created this distinctive small portable speaker.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This portable speaker features technology aesthetics and is comfortable to grip. Its compact, rounded body, a 3D dynamic flow texture used in the grille and cavity, a transparent shell and a breathing light, redefine the aesthetics for speakers. The 3D dynamic flow texture enhances the impact resistance of the grille, preventing deformation caused by accidental bumps. When placed on a surface, the inclined speaker directs the sound closer to ears, offering a superior listening experience.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: A 45mm full range driver and a passive bass diaphragm shaping like a running track circle, combined with the self developed bass enhancement algorithm, lead to more realistic sounds with stunning bass. A light ring consisting of 12 LED beads supports rich dynamic lighting effects. Users are allowed to customize their own sound and lighting effects on the APP, immersively enjoying an audio visual feast. Additionally, intuitive physical buttons and indicator lights ensure easier operation.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This product was designed in October, 2023 in Shenzhen, and will be launched in May, 2024, in Africa and Southeast Asia.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The speaker employs precise metallic paint spraying technique, creating a visual effect reminiscent of flowing liquid. The iron speaker grille utilizes punching and etching processes coupled with a unique design to give a dynamic feel. The electroplated LED strip adds a layered sense and enhances the fashion appeal. The 3D texture on the transparent shell, along with the silicone USB plug and supports, ensures the stable placement pf the speaker during its charging.
