Spotify recently posted a job ad online (and then swiftly removed it when the info was picked up by various specialist websites) for a product manager, responsible for launching a future connected device "akin to Pebble Watch, Amazon Echo and Snap Spectacles." 

The exact nature of the device is still a mystery, but the gadget could theoretically allow Spotify to propose its music streaming service in a new and intuitive manner. Logically, it could be some kind of wireless speaker (with voice controls) or connected headphones.
