“Hidden Radio 2” is a very stylish Bluetooth Speaker from it’s manufacturer leading by John VDN and Vitor Santa Maria. Hidden’s first Kickstarter campaign saw almost $1 million in funds raised for the Hidden Radio & Bluetooth speaker project. Two years later, in early 2014, the New York-based startup returned to crowd funding another $720,000 to help take its follow-up product to market — HiddenRadio2.
Specifications
The HiddenRadio2 is roughly the size of a coffee mug, coming in at 3.4″ long, 3.4″ wide, and 4.3″ high. It weighs 1.1 pounds (490g) and feels very light in the hand.The speaker uses the latest Bluetooth 4.0 technology to connect with your devices and charges via micro-USB. It promises 12 hours of continuous play through its built-in lithium-ion battery.
Meet HiddenRadio2
HiddenRadio2 is its looks more like a ceramic ornament than a speaker. But that is the intention — it’s supposed to be innocuous and blend into the surroundings.Indeed, HiddenRadio2 could almost be a pepper-grinder or some other random cylindrical kitchen utensil. When the speaker is switched on, you can then put it into sleep mode simply by long-pressing the top of the unit, and it then disappears back into its turtle shell-like house again.
There is no visible button there, but you can turn it on placing your finger in the middle of a flat, featureless surface.This same smart control functionality extends beyond raising and lowering the speaker, however. The touch sensor on top also lets you control elements such as the volume, whereby you drag your finger around the edge of the cap to raise or lower the sound.
Furthermore, you can also use the HiddenRadio2 as a speakerphone — if anyone calls, tap the top of the device, and you can converse directly through the speaker.
