Wimbledon 2022 Balls Get Second Serve As Bluetooth Speakers For Tennis Fans
Upcycling has taken an upward trend as of late, with the need to be more conscientious of our environment and the damage we place upon it. In turn, companies are trying to find innovative ways to carve out a niche for themselves thanks to the movement.
One such brand is hearO, a speaker company that looks outside of the box in terms of design and takes something you might not think will be worthy of HiFi sound and turns it into a device worthy of your favorite beats: a tennis ball.
Furthermore, it’s not just any tennis ball at that. The hearO 3.0 continues the brand’s tradition of taking balls straight out of Wimbledon 2022’s center court and placing them in your home.
The tennis ball still retains its logo from sponsors of the championship, Slazenger, along with the tournament’s branding.
The device has been embedded with a 3W speaker with a frequency of 100Hz to 20kHz. It also comes with a 500mAh battery which will last you longer than the average match. Additionally, it has a charging cradle and USB A to USB C ports.
The carbon-neutral device doesn’t just give new life to old sporting equipment but also vows to plant a tree with every purchase in partnership with The European Nature Trust.
The Wimbledon tennis balls are a way for fans to connect with the sport through music and by helping the environment simultaneously. Get your very own piece of the championship through the brand’s online store for US$70.
