Technology products have evolved over a period of time and along with those products, the accessories that complement those products have also evolved. For example, many smartphone manufacturers are killing the headphone jack on their flagship products since wireless earbuds & Bluetooth headsets are becoming more mainstream. The same point is also applicable for Bluetooth speakers where streaming of audio content wirelessly is considered as one of the major driving factors for their popularity.
Multi-room streaming is a growing trend where consumers want their favorite type of music to follow them. It is a trend that will further boost the overall Bluetooth speaker market. Though many players are competing in the over-crowded market on price, size, features, technology, etc.; there are startups like Lumiford that have plans to redefine the audio experience. The India & US-based startup has created a new audio category/vertical where your music can be upgraded to stereo with sub-woofer. Lumiford 2.1 SubWoofer Dock is a unique 2.1 Stereo Subwoofer Docking System that is inspired by New York classic table top design and is integrated with Alexa voice assistant.

You can now enjoy a full-bodied stereo HD sound with a True Bass subwoofer dock at home or just pick the handset, clutch and continue to listen to your music anywhere on the go! The supported audio formats are A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, and HSP.
