Sudio F2 / Portable Speaker

Sudio F2 redefines the relationship between scale, sound, and softness — a compact speaker designed to feel as considered as a crafted object rather than a piece of consumer tech.
Developed three years after the launch of Sudio’s Femtio, F2 responds to the evolving habits of mobile listeners: more spontaneous, more nomadic, and more tactile in how they connect to sound.

Soft is Strong

The work on Sudio’s second speaker began with listening.

Through interviews with users in Japan, Europe, and Scandinavia, a pattern started to emerge. People wanted something that was easier to carry, tougher in everyday use, and visually calmer.

From those conversations, three priorities took shape. Portability, resilience, and emotional restraint.

The aim was to design a speaker that performs beyond its size, while still feeling soft and approachable in any setting.

The design needed to travel well, hold up to daily wear, and feel at ease in a range of environments.
