Hidden Radio And Bluetooth Speaker


Nothing helps you get through your day like music. It can turn your entire mood around from crabby and sour to bright and cheerful in a matter of seconds. Listening to music on your phone is great and all, but sometimes you really want to kick it up a notch, without having to shake the foundation from a super expensive stereo system. This is where the Hidden Radio And Bluetooth Speaker comes in.

This compact device is capable of 80dB of flawless sound, which is about as loud as your car. It has 30 or more hours of battery life, so you can keep the neighbors up, or take it with you on a trip. It obviously has the AM/FM radio function, but most anyone who buys it will be using its Bluetooth capabilities. If you don’t own any devices that have Bluetooth though, you can use the 3.5mm audio input plug to pipe out your tunes. They are $119 a pop, but the most interesting thing to me is how easy they are to use. Flip on a switch, and twist the cap. Done deal. If you end up getting more than one unit, you can seamlessly switch between speakers with the touch of a button if you’re on a Bluetooth device.

Card Radio – it’s greener but is it better?


Cardboard Radio 1a

In the world where the latest electronics are blowing onto the market at a whirlwind rate, the idea of a radio made of cardboard seems like a throwback to another day. The Card Radio is perhaps an attempt to design and manufacture more responsibly for today’s consumer.

Suck UK (really), this UK-based product design company that created this interesting little FM radio, has included in it a MP3 input and internal mechanisms housed in a card structure that can be recycled at the product’s end of life.

No clue how well it works but for the price – £25 (US$39) – it at least will make an interesting conversation piece.
