Q1. What is Trippy ?

Trippy is a device which attaches to any speaker with a standard aux cable and turns them into Wi-Fi enabled speakers. With Trippy, you can stream any music/audio from your phones or computers to your speakers.

Using Wi-Fi to stream music allows Trippy to play music from many devices, turning it into a Jukebox for your parties!

Q2. How you got such an amazing idea ?

I got the idea while plugging in my phone to the speaker one day. I have really amazing speakers, but they aren’t Wifi enabled. But I wanted to avoid buying expensive wireless speakers. It struck me that we could have something that would make my existing speakers Wifi enabled.


Q3. How to use it ?

Trippy works with the Trippy App which will come free of cost on Android and iOS Stores. The app helps configure Trippy to connect to your local wifi, after which you can start streaming music to your Trippy.
