There’s a new Bluetooth speaker which is an actual levitating Death Star
Plox has launched the speaker in the UK for £130.

Speakers can no longer just be speakers in the age of Google Home and smart assistants – which might be why hardware firm Plox has turned to Star Wars for their latest device.
The firm has clearly been inspired by the Force, as their new Death Star-themed speaker uses magnets to levitate above its base and rotate as it plays out 360-sound.
Once up and running it looks impressive, but the initial set-up is not without its problems.
Using the in-box funnel to correctly place the Death Star on its levitation point above the stand is no simple feat – it takes several attempts and a fair amount of patience to get right.

Of course, this level of Star Wars geekery does come at a price, and the levitating speaker will cost those keen on it a cool £129.99.
