The device works by being positioned onto virtually anything from a helmet to a coffee mug and will transmit audio waves through it using [bone conduction technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suunto-aqua). This will allow for impromptu audio experiences, while also delivering feedback that's up to five-time louder than the average smartphone or tablet. The 'BLADE' bone conduction speaker has a [credit card-sized design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-speakers) and weighs in at just 35 grams to make it a lightweight yet powerful product. A 4,000mAh battery within will deliver up to four hours of use per charge, while high-speed USB-C charging will have it ready for use once again in just 30 minutes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Bone Conduction Technology:** BLADE is harnessing bone conduction technology to turn anything into a speaker. - **Impromptu Audio Experiences:** BLADE enables users to have impromptu audio experiences by turning everyday objects into speakers. - **Ultra-thin Conduction Speakers:** BLADE's ultra-thin design makes it a powerful yet lightweight option for audio transmission. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics industry can integrate bone conduction technology to enhance audio experiences. - **Sports and Recreation:** The sports and recreation industry can utilize BLADE's bone conduction speakers to enhance athletes' performance. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can provide unique audio experiences using BLADE speakers integrated into various items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bone-Conduction Bluetooth Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boneconduction-bluetooth-headset.md) - [Vibrational Full-Range Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gadol-vibration-speaker.md) - [Foldable Bone Conduction Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-bone-conduction-headphones.md) - [Resonance-Powered Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leapsonic-speaker.md) - [Outdoor Bone-Conduction Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/h2o-audio-tri.md) - [Posh Power-Free Smartphone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amplifying-speaker.md) - [Compact Phone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thinn.md) - [See-Through Private Listening Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-directional-speaker.md) - [Ultra-Thin Chromatic Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diyr-speaker.md)
