(Sony’s New Device Turns Any Speaker into a Smart Speaker)

The adapter works with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Users can ask it to play music, check the weather, or control smart home devices. It also supports high-quality audio streaming from services like Spotify and Apple Music. Setup takes just a few minutes using the Sony Music Center app.

This new gadget gives people a simple way to upgrade old speakers without buying new ones. It fits well with Sony’s goal of making smart technology easy to use. The device has a small design that hides easily behind furniture or shelves. It runs on power from a wall outlet and stays connected to Wi-Fi all the time.

Sony says the adapter will be available next month in the United States and Europe. It will cost $99. The company believes many users will prefer this option over replacing their current speakers. People who already own quality audio equipment can now add smart functions at a low price.

The speaker uses special materials. These materials vibrate to make sound. They also stay mostly transparent. Samsung says the sound quality is very good. It offers clear and rich audio. You get good sound without a big box blocking your sight.

This see-through speaker could change how we use technology. People might put it in front of TVs. The TV picture would still be visible. It could sit on shelves with other items. The items behind it would not be hidden. It could blend into home decor easily. It might be used in stores or museums too.

Samsung is excited about the possibilities. They see it as a step forward. It combines good design with good sound. The speaker looks like a simple glass panel. But it produces powerful audio. This mix of looks and function is important.
