Verdict

The Teenage Engineering OD-11 is an ortho-directional wireless speaker featuring a 6.5-inch pulp cone woofer, a neodymium cone tweeter, and an integrated 100-watt Class-D amplifier with a built-in computer for crossover filtering. Measuring 262 x 272 x 262 mm and weighing 7.5 kg, this compact cube relies on an AC power connection rather than an internal battery, delivering a frequency range of 28 to 20,000 Hz alongside Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, AirPlay, and Spotify Connect support. Its primary advantages include an immersive omnidirectional acoustic design that fills rooms evenly, expandable multi-room or wireless stereo pairing for up to four units, and versatile physical inputs including 3.5mm analog and TOSLINK optical jacks. However, its notable drawbacks include a high price tag, the absence of an internal battery for true portability, and a dependency on the Orthoplay app or web interface to access its highly restrictive equalizer adjustments.
