- Klipsch launches limited-edition Bluetooth speaker for The Odyssey
- Based on Klipsch Detroit with movie-inspired detailing
- Limited to 2,500 speakers worldwide, costing $499 (about £379 / AU$723)
Blockbuster movies often come with interesting collaborations, and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is no exception: in addition to a rather nifty Trojan horse popcorn rather nifty Trojan horse popcorn bucket, you can also get your hands on a strictly limited edition Bluetooth speaker from audio experts Klipsch that promises audio that will “defy the gods”.
And if there’s one thing we know from Greek mythology, it’s that defying the gods always ends well.
The new speaker is limited to 2,500 devices worldwide and is based on Klipsch’s Music City Series Detroit platform. The Detroit is the largest of the Music City speakers, with dual one-inch tweeters and dual three-inch woofers. This special edition is inspired by the movie design of Odysseus’ sword and features “battle-worn finishes, hand-distressed detailing, and brass accents that evoke an ancient artifact carried through an epic journey.”
It looks like a lot of fun, and I’m very much enjoying the irony of the team-up here: The Odyssey director Christopher Nolan is infamous for making movies where the dialog is really hard to hear.
Klipsch x The Odyssey Limited Edition Speaker: key features and pricing
The Odyssey speaker features Bluetooth 5.3 with 40ft range, 20 hours of battery life and 18W USB-C charging. You can connect up to 10 Klipsch speakers in broadcast mode for a more immersive audio experience (though I’m not sure it’s strictly how Nolan would like you to enjoy the movie…), and the speaker is IP67-rated and can survive water immersion for over 30 minutes.
You can customize the bass, mids and treble with the Klipsch Connect Plus app, which also delivers over-the-air firmware updates and tech support.
The recommended price of the Klipsch x The Odyssey Limited Edition Speaker is $499 (about £379 / AU$723) and it’ll be sold online at Klipsch.com as well as through retailers including Amazon and RC Wiley.
That means it’s significantly more expensive than the standard Detroit: that’s currently on offer for $194 at Best Buy in the US and £299 at Currys in the UK. But of course that model doesn’t have the movie magic and unique detailing of the limited edition.
