GeekDad Review: Aether Cone, a Futuristic Intelligent Music Player - GeekDad

I'm a big music geek, someone who follows technology closely and a guy with an appreciation for premium sound and industrial design. I'm the curator of an ever-increasing collection of speaker docks and wireless speakers — always in search of a great listening experience. You can bet I jumped at the opportunity when GeekDad sponsor Aether offered to send me one of its Aether Cone wireless speakers. The Cone is billed as an intelligent music player, one that not only takes your voice requests, but learns your preferences. It looks like nothing else out there, too. I spent a few weeks getting to know the Cone. If you're a serious music fan, someone with a keen interest in technology or you appreciate interesting design, the Aether Cone should definitely be on your wireless speaker short list.

Aether Cone Review: A Little Speaker With Some Big Ambitions

Is a piece of code capable of mimicking the way humans listen to music? That's the promise of Cone, a "thinking" speaker that watches what you listen to and learns from it. It doesn't perfectly replicate your tastes—but it's pretty damn fun to watch it try.
