Startup company Duolink Go just launched its first product campaign on Kickstarter with an interesting design concept. Duolink Go debuted the world's first SpeakerBuds all-in-one design, combining true wireless earbuds and a two-part charging case with in-built speakers. The product differentiation is actually smart, since it offers a larger battery and charging case for TWS, which also serves as a single compact Bluetooth portable speaker or a separate (stereo) pair when opened.
