Hey, I know! Let's call it "Disposable Speaker 10"!

Roughly one and a half trillion people use Bluetooth speakers today. But not to their fullest. Maybe you’ve been afraid to take your Bluetooth speakers to the beach, or on a boat, or let your kids play with them. Hey, those speakers cost money, you think.

Today I introduce a Disposable Speaker you won’t even bother to hide under your beach towel - because it’s worth less than your beach towel.

Let’s start with the name. What should we call it? It just doesn’t feel right to call it Disposable Speaker 1, or Disposable Speaker 2, or Disposable Speaker any other number up to and including 9. We can’t really explain it. The electronics industry is all about trusting your feelings.

The name of this speaker is Disposable Speaker 10.

We were looking to strike a balance between a familiar experience similar to the Bluetooth speakers you already have, and a familiar experience similar to the Bluetooth speakers you already have. With Disposable Speaker 10, we think we’ve found that balance - at a price that lets you throw it away when you get sick of it.

Yes, throw it away. Value is in the eye of the consumer. That’s why people of a certain age found it difficult to throw away all those AOL CDs they got in the mail. After all, a CD at the store cost twenty bucks! Or never quite took to disposable cameras. A real camera isn’t something you can just throw away. That’s why I’ve held on to this circa-1997 college-kid haircut well beyond the age when it’s flattering, or even appropriate.

Let Disposable Speaker 10 disabuse you of any lingering notion that Bluetooth speakers are inherently valuable. It’ll take a beating while letting you take adequate-sounding wireless audio into the messiest, harshest, most dangerous situations. Until things get too messy, harsh, and dangerous and it gets damaged or lost. So what? What sense can you expect to find in a world where operating systems can just skip a number?

That’s what we’re saying with the name Disposable Speaker 10. We just don’t give a shit about making sense of this insane-asylum universe and neither should you. When you use Disposable Speaker 10 in its fullness, you’ll understand.

Of course, we don’t expect you to actually throw it away. “Hey, wait a minute, maybe I could turn this into a nice bird feeder,” you’ll say. Or “I bet the kids could have some fun with this.” Or “I could make some really great fraudulent UFO photos with this baby.” How do I know? That’s what I always say when my grandkids tell me to throw away those AOL CDs. Just wait, they’ll be worth something someday.
