Logitech’s MX speakers have motion-activated controls

Another major feature is the motion activated controls. Wave your hand in front of the speaker and a set of illuminated icons appear, allowing you to pair a device or adjust volume, which is handy if there’s already a lot happening on your desktop. It’s motion activation at its most basic, but it does hint at future possibilities — skipping tracks with hand gestures, for example. The speakers — which have been designed to aesthetically complement other products in the MX range — also boast a decent Bluetooth range of 80ft and automatic standby mode to help conserve power when not it use. They’re slated for release in October at $100/£90.
