Setup is Easy
Just power up the Cobblestone, connect it to a powered speaker, download the app and start streaming your music. It's as easy as that. Cobblestone makes your speakers wireless and supports all music formats including lossless audio.
Streams Directly From Cloud Music Providers
Cobblestone also works as a standalone music player. Smart phone control is optional. It plays all your favorite streamed music to any speaker in lossless sound quality with a hit of a button. Cobblestone uses your Wifi network to control speakers in your home.
"Multi-Module-Melodization"
Cobblestone is a smart device. It memories your favorite songs and will always plays you preferred playlist with a hit of the button. It supports synchronized multi-room play or play different songs in different rooms. It understands the genre of the music being played and adjusts the EQ automatically for you.
Continuous Music Play At All Times
Our intuitive app allows you to remote control. Unlike Bluetooth, music doesn't stop when you have phone calls or out of the short range. Now you can enjoy music without any interruptions in every room of your home.

The Solution: MÜZO Cobblestone
We understand the frustration of current audio solutions on market. Poor music quality, expensive, unstable Bluetooth connection, having to have phone around, and not compatible with existing speakers, so that's why we created the Cobblestone.
Key Features of MÜZO Cobblestone
==============================================================
The Design Process
Our designers explored many different concepts before deciding on the final design and shape that would blend in perfectly in its surroundings. We decided to call it "Cobblestone" to give our homes and work space a "Zen" like feel.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our hardware engineers started working on the MÜZO Cobblestone in 2012. After 2 years of intensive development, they've created the perfect prototype to bring your music to life in HiFi, lossless sound quality.

==============================================================
MÜZO App UI
Our UI designer did rounds of UX testing to create the MÜZO App which will be seamlessly paired with the MÜZO Cobblestone. We are still working on finalizing the revamped UI and will show you a video demo as soon as it’s ready! Below is a sample of the revamped UI on iOS and Android.
==============================================================
MÜZO App Features
Here's a sneak peak of some of the features in the App.
Pandora - We've integrated Pandora so you can control and play Pandora on multiple speakers with different Pandora radio Station accounts.
Tunein - If you love listening to the radio, you can use the Tunein app to access local radio stations or choose by genre or location.
Search - Within the Muzo App you can search for all your favorite songs and artists. For example, input Taylor Swift, and all her songs will be found within the various cloud music services as the pictured below:
Favorite - The Favorite function allows you to freely collect your favorite songs, so you don’t need to search for the song again. Just click the heart near the bottom left of the screen and the next time you want to listen to it, just open the Favorite on the main menu.
My Music - Through My Music function, you can playback your local music, such as the songs in iPhone or Android device. As the pictured below: Click iPhone and all the songs stored on the iPhone will be shown, choose a song and start streaming it to the speakers.
==============================================================
MÜZO Cobblestone Colors
We're also planning to roll out different colors of the MÜZO Cobblestone so you can pick and choose which will fit best in your surroundings. The colors are just a representation. We will post some pictures of the actual color when we get some actual final production pieces. If you have other color suggestions, please let us know!

Why MÜZO?
“Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” - Berthold Auerbach
Music plays an important part in our everyday lives. Music gives us joy, energizes us, and sets the mood. But often times our listening solutions do not maximize music to its full potential in high fidelity. We hear music that is often compressed resulting in low quality sound that is nothing like the actual live recording of the artist.
Our goal at MÜZO is to provide you with HiFi, lossless audio systems so you can play all your music in any surrounding with a hit of a button.
Until we add these services, if you have AirPlay you can stream these music services through MÜZO Cobblestone to your speaker.

Risks and challenges
We have working final prototypes in hand. Videos and photos seen are real life products. App development is in progress. We have a team of international experts with experience in product and manufacturing to ensure smooth transition from ready-to-market prototypes into actual shipping products. While all efforts are made to ensure timely completion of software functions, any type of development can have unforeseeable delays. This may result in functions being delivered in a software or firmware update after a product is shipped. There are also risks from unforeseeable factors such as delays in component delivery and certifications.
