If you’re looking for the best-of-the-best when it comes to an integrated home audio experience, there aren’t many better options than what’s available from former Apple, HomePod and Nest engineers / designers. Which brings us to the Syng Cell Alpha Smart Speakers you see here. The company, founded by guys that held all the roles we previously mentioned, is setup to roll out a spatial audio speaker in early 2021 that is about the size of a basketball and packs two woofers (facing up- and downward, respectively), three pairs of tweeters, mid-frequency drivers (arranged in a ring for 360-degree audio) and three microphones (to measure the acoustics of the room and facilitate spatial sound) in order to maximize presence, range and enjoyability. If you want one–or three as they recommend for maximum coverage–the Syng Cell Alpha Smart Speaker is available for pre-order now with shipping planned around spring of 2021.
