from £450 / transparentspeaker.com
Is that really a transparent speaker called Transparent Speaker?
Perhaps the Swedish makers were worried things would get lost in translation, but at least the name ensures you won’t confuse it with any opaque devices on your discoverable Bluetooth list. It also means we can concentrate on the more important things at play with this gorgeous creation, like the aluminium uniframe combined with tempered glass panels
I mean, it’s pretty clear what they’ve done here…
Yes, very good. But before you go thinking you can see through what looks like a pretty standard wireless speaker, there’s more to it than that. You see, the folks at Transparent Sound claim this device has been designed to become better over time, thanks to a modular system whereby components can be swapped out as new wireless and audio technologies become available. There’s also the ability to add plug-in upgrades like an Amazon Echo or a Sonos Connect.
