Huawei has unveiled the Sound X, a smart speaker it build in conjunction with bespoke French HiFi company Devialet. On top of the premium look, it packs a 60 watt double subwoofer and 360-degree sound, along with Devialet’s speaker active matching (SAM) that eliminates distortion and push-push woofer vibration-cancelling tech.
The 360-degree speaker includes a 60-watt double subwoofer and comes equipped with a full array of Huawei services, including the company’s Xiaoyi voice assistant, Huawei HiLink smart home control, and support for Huawei music. Devialet.
While there are plenty of high-end speaker companies out there, Devialet has always stood out, thanks to its cool designs. Devialet’s latest collaboration is a little more understated in comparison, with a design that almost looks like someone took a Mac Pro trash can and replaced the bottom third with a speaker grille.
Huawei’s Sound X will only be sold in China, but it’s now on pre-order for a relatively low sum lat least, considering the Devialet angle of 1,999 yuan (around $285). It doesn’t appear that the product will be coming to any western markets, however.
