Cubedge Edge.Sound Portable Wireless Speaker

Cubedge has created a worthy competitor to Jawbone's Jambox dubbed Edge.Sound. This Bluetooth wireless speaker is portable, stylish and has the same form factor of the Jambox only with a more, cutting edge style to it. The Edge.Sound will work with any device that supports Bluetooth music streaming including Windows Phone, Android, BlackBerry and iOS devices. Cubedge's Edge.Sound speaker does strike our fancy with a sleek yet edgy rubbery housing and sand blasted aluminum speaker grille design. It also features a built-in mic for hands-free call and chat making, top music playback button controls, 10-hour battery life and a sweet aluminum enclosure package.

What about the sound you ask? Cubedge isn't letting out much detail about the specifications other than promising us all big sound in a small package, capable of easily filling up the most enormous room you've got in your home. We've heard that before, and as far as we know it, that's definitely a trusted saying. The Edge.Sound speaker is available to pre-order in a black, white and gray starting at $130 over at Kickstarter.

Thanks for the tip, Chris!

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.
