    Even if you're not already familiar with French audio brand Devialet, you may instantly recognize its Phantom speakers, which are known for throwing a surprising punch from a relatively compact alien egg-like body. The problem is that as impressive as they are, these "implosive" speakers can be a bit too much for tiny spaces, plus prices start from $1,690 which isn't an instant grab for most people. As such, Devialet's team of 100 engineers spent the last three years repackaging the same acoustic technology into a more portable form factor. The result is the Phantom Reactor, a $999 wireless speaker that's four times smaller but still delivers "unreasonable sound."
