Introduction

The Crosley Octave Bluetooth speaker was created as a utilitarian work of art for your home or business and was inspired by mid-century contemporary architecture. Richness is added by the walnut veneer, and texture and vintage appeal are added by the heather grey speaker cloth. Hardware in gold tone completes the Octave’s sophisticated design. In addition to Bluetooth, this speaker has an aux-in plug, and USB, and works as a phone charger, allowing you to switch between different music sources. The volume, treble, and bass may all be adjusted with the three knobs on top. You can tell how carefully the Crosley Octave Bluetooth speaker was crafted because of the sound quality and knob tightness.
