HiddenRadio Injects Seamless Beauty Into Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Small sized Bluetooth speakers are a dime a dozen and are often thought to have bad audio quality and extremely stripped from any sense of good design. HiddenRadio & Bluetooth Speaker is the answer that will end this madness of badly designed portable Bluetooth speakers once and for all. HiddenRadio has no visible buttons nor switches and that's only part of what makes it so damn sleek. Twisting the HiddenRadio's top cap turns the device on and enables you to pair your devices via Bluetooth all at once. The more you twist the cap upwards from the base, the HiddenRadio's audio volume will increase and will shower you with over 80dB of crystal clear sound goodness. That's loud for such a small, single speaker. 

As the name implies, HiddenRadio also hides AM/FM radio functionality and also features a 3.5mm audio input, an impressive built-in rechargeable battery that will last over 30 hours of Bluetooth music streaming, seamless switching between multiple speakers and speakerphone functionality.

The HiddenRadio Bluetooth Speaker is one of the most intuitive, user friendly Bluetooth speakers I've ever heard of. True it isn't yet out and available, but at least you can pre-order yours for $119 instead of $175 when it retails in stores.

Bose SoundLink Portable Speaker Streams Your Tunes Wirelessly

Bose just went all fancy pants on us with its newly released SoundLink portable speaker that can stream your music wirelessly over Bluetooth supporting the A2DP profile. Looks like Bose fell in love with Apple's Smart Cover idea and decides to incorporate a very similar idea into the SoundLink with fancy colored leather speaker covers that magnetically attach to the front face keeping the speaker protected while in transport and can turn the SoundLink speaker on and off while at the same time also serve as the device's stand when flipped underneath. How very neat. Bose's aluminum finished SoundLink portable speaker is so fancy it will set you back a cool $300. And that's only for the SoundLink with a nylon cover. Thinking about a more luxurious leather cover? That will be an additional $50.

There is a bit of audio magic behind the SoundLink's hood though. Bose's very own proprietary slim speakers deliver powerful sound using 2 dual-opposing passive radiators that promise deep lows and clear detailed sound quality. A built-in user replaceable, rechargeable battery should last up to 8 hours with the option to use the supplied wall adapter. It'll work with any Bluetooth device out there supporting the A2DP Bluetooth profile while also boasting an Auxiliary back input. The SoundLink portable speaker is available now with additional covers to be sold separately as well. Jawbone's Jambox is in for some steep competition.

iAudio Speaker Should Be Made By Apple

Apple fanboys and fangirls all around the world can now drool over the latest iteration to come out of China, the iAudio speaker. It looks to be made by the same guys that brought you the non-Apple made iHub and iHDD Apple logo encrusted peripherals. The iAudio is a USB powered single speaker cube with a glowing Apple logo that can be connected to any device that has a 3.5mm audio port. Oh that's great, so now you can actually use that iHub of yours and have the perfect non-Apple cubical party. It's not clear where exactly the sound comes from on the iAudio speaker, but I guess that only makes even sleeker. My guess would be from the bottom. A built-in rechargeable battery should give you some extra portable power to listen to your favorite artists like Rebecca Black.

You can find the iAudio all over eBay right now along with its other cubical friends in both black and white for under $25.

Thanks for the tip, Hugo!
