If you’ve ever wanted to carry Mind Games by John Lennon up a mountain—or maybe just to your living room—Teenage Engineering has you covered with their new John Lennon Mind Games OB-4. This special edition OB-4 speaker isn’t just about playing your favorite tunes; it’s a spiritual journey wrapped in Bluetooth.
Collaborating with Sean Ono Lennon, Teenage Engineering brings you six different mixes of the iconic 1973 album. We’re talking ultimate mixes, elemental mixes, and even a Mind Games evolution documentary. And for those zen moments between jams, you’ve got nine meditation mixes and mantras to help find your center—plus a shiny new metronome to keep the rhythm of your inner peace.
The OB-4 doesn’t stop at sound, though. It’s a sleek glossy white with custom prints, perfect for impressing guests who stumble across your yoga retreat-slash-dance party. It plays for 72 hours on the radio or 40 via Bluetooth, so the vibe will last longer than most existential crises.
Aesthetically, it is based on the White edition OB-4 with elements pulled from the Mind Games album cover. The front is just John himself walking away but without Ono in the background. At the back of the OB-4 is John looking at Ono and her apparent mountainous influence on him. He’s not walking away this time. On the side, there is a recreation of John’s seal in Kanji.
But here’s the catch: this beauty is made to order and will only be available to purchase until October 31, 2024. Delivery is expected in February 2025, so if you’re patient, US$999 gets you the ultimate Mind Games experience.
