Takahiro Miyashitaโs eponymous Japanese menswear label TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist has an unexpected left turn for its latest offering. Instead of clothes, the brand has launched its first Sounds speaker, a design-forward audio device that is apparently so powerful that itโs capable of pushing out sound with a 2000W ultra-high output, with pressure so deep you can reportedly feel it on your skin.
Adding that tactile element to a regular listening session wouldnโt be an easy feat. Yet it seems TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist has achieved this with its 110 cm-tall Bluetooth speaker, which has been built with seven channels โ two 6.5-inch woofers, two 12 mm linear excursion 3-inch mid-range drivers, three 1-inch tweeters โ producing a high-frequency (20Hz to 25KHz) with a maximum sound pressure level of 110 db.
The beastly TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist speaker has more muscle than most and its immense soundstage is represented by a recreation of New Yorkโs famously odd Flatiron building. Given Miyashitaโs eccentric approach to design, such an ambitious statement makes sense, with a model of the iconic building hiding behind a cracked polycarbonate resin shell.

A speaker thatโs so powerful it quite literally lets you feel music doesnโt come cheap. Expect to pay around US$6.734 (AU$10,117) for TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloistโs Sounds speaker, which is available for pre-order via the brandโs website ahead of a wider release in September 2023.
