Oh Kay...OP asks for 'speaker trends' and in one page we're off and running into DSP, Bluetoothed, actives, and such....
...which none of which is 'new'...MHO.
Speakers that are 'listening to us' talk back is new. And that's both interesting and occasionally frightening....
"HEY! That sounds like *rap!"
("What would you like me to sound like?")
"Bose 901's, mid-80's...try that...")
12" tall speaker explodes...
Direct neural excitation is likely the next step, since we're already 'into' VR. "Here, we'll just put this chip into your head. Runs off your body heat, updates automatically, you just have to Think of what you want to hear..."
DON'T forget to autopay the monthly bill. "Pause" & "Mute" might not be what you had in mind..... ;) *ugly G*
