ODD Ball Double Pack

At first look you might be confused as to why two overside bouncy balls cost £218, that’s because these mad little things are so much more than just a ball, believe it or not but they are musical instruments. It works by using intuitive movement to create sounds, literally any sound you can think of, its essentially a smart Bluetooth device, packed with motion sensing technology. It works alongside the ODD app on both Android and iOS devices, you simply connect to the app and unleash the magic, it is worth noting the sounds is played via the phone’s internal speaker or any headphone, speaker connected to it.

You can create music with a few different motions, tap it or bounce it for rhythmic sounds, move it about in space at different speeds to mix sounds in and out or shake it to create percussive sounds. You can spin and twist it to play melodic tones and solos or toss it in the air for special effects and transitions.
The double pack comes with two balls, you can choose between a combination of Black, Punch, Turquoise and Grey designs, they have their own cool metal carrying case. Messing about with the ODD balls is really entertaining, you don’t need any technical skills and the sounds are created in an intuitive way. By using two balls you can start to get creative with mixing sounds together, you can play alone or with a friend. You can connect as many as your device will allow (usually more than 6 at least) then you can assign a different instrument to each one of them and get super creative. You can record tracks, play over a song whilst coming up with moves and tricks to show off your skills.

The app is free and its here you can record and create your own beats as well as access hundreds of sounds and tracks to play with, the battery life lasts about 5 hours, they are kid safe and splash resistant, just don’t let your dog get hold of one.

The ODD Ball is the musical gizmo you never knew you wanted, the combination of intuitive movement and DJ skills is a lot of fun, we found it soothing and therapeutic sometimes, exciting and energising at other times whilst always remaining instinctive and fun. RRP £218
