Verdict

The OM Audio OM/ONE is a unique, gravity-defying portable Bluetooth 4.0 speaker consisting of a 3.6-inch, 0.75-pound spherical orb that levitates 1.2 inches above a 6.3-inch magnetic base station. Its primary characteristics include a 75mm audio driver, a 3-watt RMS amplifier delivering up to 110 decibels of output, a built-in Type 1 microphone for conference calls, and an impressive built-in lithium-ion battery providing up to 15 hours of continuous playback. Major advantages feature its eye-catching design, exceptional portability when detached from the base, and the ability to link two orbs together for true left-and-right stereo sound. However, notable drawbacks include its lack of true wireless charging for the floating orb, a delicate balancing act required to float the device on its magnetic field, and audio quality that, despite its visual appeal, struggles to outclass traditional, non-levitating competitors in its price range.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about OM Audio One?

  • Unique, eye-catching levitating design that serves as a conversation piece
  • Orb is independent of the base and can be used as a standalone portable speaker
  • Long battery life offering up to 15 hours of continuous playback
  • Efficient power consumption using only 3 watts to produce sound
  • Supports stereo pairing if a second OM/ONE unit is connected

What customers dislike about OM Audio One?

  • Audio performance lacks punch, particularly with thin bass and sub-par music separation
  • Relatively expensive price point primarily due to the gimmick of the levitation hardware
  • Difficult and finicky process to align the orb over the strong magnetic base
  • Potential for audio levels to fluctuate as the orb freely spins in mid-air
  • Base requires a constant tethered power connection to enable the electromagnets
  • Impractical form factor for travel as the base is bulky and heavy to carry around
