The Origin is an innovative 2-in-1 desktop and portable Bluetooth® speaker system, the first of its kind on the market. The small, portable speaker provides users with crisp, high fidelity sound on the go and seamlessly transfers music to the large desktop speaker when docked. The combination of the two speakers produces big, room-filling sound with prominent bass. The small portable speaker also receives a charge to its battery when docked in the desktop speaker. Powerful audio drivers let you turn up the volume as loud as you like without losing sound clarity or quality.

The Origin desktop speaker system will be available at ZAGG.com beginning in spring. To see the Origin in action and learn more about this new high-end audio product from ZAGG, please watch the videos at ZAGG.com.

“Portable speakers are very popular right now, and the Origin combines that portability with the great, room-filling sound of a desktop unit for the first time,” said Derek Smith, executive vice president of sales for ZAGG Inc. “The Origin – along with our amazing new headphones and earbuds – give us an opportunity to make a splash in a very competitive field, and we are very excited to introduce these creative product solutions in our award-winning audio lines for both ZAGG and iFrogz.”
