Publication number: 20230276154Abstract: A magnetically attractable Bluetooth speaker is disclosed, including a speaker housing, a loudspeaker, a control circuit board, and a magnet. The loudspeaker is electrically connected to the control circuit board. The speaker housing includes a limiting part for securing the magnet. The magnet is fixedly arranged in the limiting part, and the magnet is arranged outside the magnetic circuit range of the loudspeaker. With such a structure, by arranging the magnet in the speaker housing, the user experience of the speaker can be greatly improved, so that the user can place it in different manners depending on their different needs. Compared with the traditional ordinary speakers that can only be placed on a horizontal plane or a surface with a small slope, the speaker provided by the present disclosure has better flexibility in use.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: XIAOMIN ZHU, TAO ZOU, YAJIAN LIU, HANQIAO ZHANG, FANG CHENG, YICHAO FAN, Dan Cass
