When the Hidden Radio & Bluetooth Speaker hit Kickstarter, it raised almost a million bucks because of its award-winning design, intuitiveness and downright excellent performance. Version 2 is even better than the original. One touch opens the larger bass chamber with Magic Lift technology. Multispeaker connections are now possible. The top is touch-sensitive for play/pause/next/hang up functionality. It even works with NFC now. The list of new functionality makes the industry-leading competition look like a bunch of knockoffs in the performance department. But even with all of that our favorite part is still probably the looks. This thing would be right at home sitting next to the new Mac Pro that we’re too poor to buy, and the commercial feels like it could have been cut by Apple themselves. All other bluetooth speakers are essentially crap when this thing ships.
