About one month ago, we reported on the Bass Egg Project on Kickstarter. The company behind the product, Bass Egg LLC, was looking for $150,000 through their fundraiser to put the product into mass production. Unfortunately, the campaign fell short of the company’s goal.
Still, the Bass Egg Project isn’t done yet. The company still wants the product to succeed, and has even produced a number of prototypes to help get the word out. I was the recipient of one of those prototypes today, and I’ve put together a little unboxing to show you just how beautiful even the prototype is. Read on to find out my initial impressions.
When you open the magnetically-latching box, you’ll find a bit of foam and the manual. The foam, obviously, is to help protect the Bass Egg from any harm during shipment.
When you take the first layer of foam off the top, you’ll find the Bass Egg – surrounded by more foam.
Here are the included accessories: a remote, AC adapter, and miniUSB to 3.5mm headphone jack.
Here’s everything that’s included with the Bass Egg, with the exception of the unneeded manual.
And, of course, here’s the device itself. It’s a very well designed speaker, and I would have no problem having one – or more – of them sitting on my desk to listen to music.
In the coming weeks, I will give it a run for its money and see if it’s worth Bass Egg LLC’s asking price.
I can’t wait to see if this really works as promised, the idea is quite cool. If it ends up working even half as well as in the video, I may just have to buy one.
I’m really interested in this, too. Keep us updated, Calob!
I’d love to see if this actually works.
How does one become an editor of review sites??? You fellas receive the coolest toys. I backed this project and still want it, and the just up and send you a prototype no less!!

So im not sure why but ive had a bass egg kong for over a year now i bought it in palm beach florida at a surf shop and the thing is awesome. my issue is the ac adapter is not a regular plug but instead a two pin type thing that is useless for me. i think at one point i had an adapter for it but may have lost it and now not sure how to charge my egg. it has a mini pin input for a DC 12v charge but i cant find any such charger out there. can u help? thanks.
