IFA 2018 hosts the launch of an update of the Libratone Zipp wireless speakers-- the Zipp 2 and Zipp Mini 2, offering longer 12 hours of battery life and voice control via support for the Amazon Alexa assistant.
The Zipp 2 and Zipp Mini 2 feature the same cylindrical form factor as the first versions, including the colourful textured tops users can unzip and swap (explaining the name). The tops come complete with a leather loop, allowing for easy hanging from an umbrella or tree branch, while the round design provides 360-degree audio.
Wireless connectivity comes through wifi or Bluetooth, and supports AirPlay 2 for Siri and HomeKit integration, as well as Spotify Connect and DLNA. Customers can pair up to 10 Zipp speakers together to create a full audio system, and a 3.5mm headphone jack is included for good measure. A USB port handles battery charging duties.
The Zipp 2 and Zipp Mini 2 are available in 4 colours-- frosty gray, black, cranberry red and pine green.
