Here is our review of the ODD Ball (2024 updated version).
Can you imagine a tennis-sized bouncy ball that you can use to DJ? Meet ODD Ball, a Bluetooth-powered, motion-sensing bouncy ball that transforms every move into music. The aspiring DJ can tap the ball to the beat to control the drum track, shake it to play percussion, smoothly move it in space to mix in melodic lines, twist it to play a solo, trow it up in the air to add effects and much more.
Within the app, you can select playlists from your favourite genres and literally dance with the ball to mix different tracks in and out as you please, following your creative flow. When you are ready to move to the next song, just throw the ODD Ball in the air for a seamless transition.
It’s a truly magical and fun experience. You can also create your own playlists of songs to DJ, in case you want to show off at the next house party, and you can record yourself performing to share it with the world. Plus, this isn’t just for solo acts. It’s designed for collaboration and connection.
Challenge your friends to a DJ battle, or sync up multiple balls for a group jam session. It’s the perfect way to combine music, play, and social interaction.

Final Thoughts
The first thing to do is charge up the ODD Ball, so make sure that you do this before you are ready to play.
Once charged you need to pair the ODD Ball with your device (once the app has been downloaded). Just follow the steps to do this (including bouncing the ball to start the pairing sequence). It’s really quick and easy to do.
Then you are ready to go – you can add your own sounds to the ball or you can choose the quick play function. Whatever you choose you can start to make music and record your what you do for playback later. You can even add your own sounds to the ball. You can literally create a DJ set by dancing with the ball!
The harder you bounce the ball, the higher the note or the louder the sound – it becomes a challenge to see just how loud you can get it.
The ODD Ball is so much fun and will bring hours of enjoyment – what music will you create?
The ODD Ball is available now priced around £109, although at the time of writing the review it was on-sale for £85. It also comes in four colours – Black, Punch, Turquoise and Cool Gray.
