Consider what happens to the thousands of tennis balls that are left over after a major professional tennis tournament. For Wimbledon alone, Slazenger supplies over 55,000 balls each year. If you include all the major tournaments around the world, 230,000 championship tennis balls are discarded annually. hearO brings this memorabilia to life, imbues it with energy and makes it a useful wireless speaker for everyday life. A tennis ball is a perfect ergonomic object and is covered in a tactile felt that is exceedingly durable. hearO uses these properties to create a portable Bluetooth speaker that blends usability and sustainability with a refined aesthetic. The product fuses into an ideal portable media companion.
