The Sound Egg is a unique chair packed with a 5.1 surround sound audio system – that includes the 10-inch sub. Acousticom had previously used this chair to show off other products, treating it solely as a display tool. However, when they started getting requests to purchase the chair, Acousticom decided to make the chairs available for sale.
Price of admission? $1450.
The Sound Egg will be on display at CES 2010 for it’s official launch. I’ll do my best to get some time in one and report back.
