Acers Halo is a Google Assistant smart speaker with LEDs – The Verge

Acer has announced the $109 Halo smart speaker at its October hardware event. Its a 360-degree speaker that has the Google Assistant built in to handle queries and tasks, and Acer says its one of the first smart speakers to have DTS sound. With that, it should be especially suited to offer a cinematic sound.

Its relatively easy to see what stands out about this device; it has an RGB base that changes color and lighting patterns, and its LEDs can show the weather and other images. Honestly, I think the Halo looks like an oil diffuser, but Ill take Acers word that its actually a speaker.

This device will release in Q1 2021. Acer hasnt divulged other specs or product details about the Halo, but well likely hear more soon. At $109, its just $10 more than Googles new Nest Audio smart speaker. We dont know how the sound quality will stack up, but if you want a smart speaker that stands out more visually, keep an eye out for the Halo.
