# Space Collar Speakers The Hi-Fido Speaker is One Tough Pup By Michael Hines | Published 2010-02-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hi-fido-speaker References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/hi-fido-speaker/14114/) & [matteocibicstudio](http://www.matteocibicstudio.com/#85107/Hi-Fido) The Hi-Fido speaker is pushing the boundaries of [speaker design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonique). There used to be a time when speakers came in only two forms: rectangle and taller rectangle. Now there are many [shapes and sizes of speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eversolo-se100-speakers) to choose from, including [headless dog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-dog). The Hi-Fido speaker was created by designer Matteo Cibic. This poor headless mutt is going to go fast. There will be only 50 made, 10 of which will be available for the US. Click the links if you want one, or if you just want to show Fido what will happen if he doesn’t quit that damn barking. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Innovative Speaker Designs:** The Hi-Fido speaker is pushing the boundaries of traditional speaker designs with its unique shape and form. - **Limited Edition Collectibles:** The limited production of only 50 Hi-Fido speakers, with only 10 available for the US market, presents a niche opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts. - **Pet-inspired Technology:** The headless dog shape of the Hi-Fido speaker taps into the growing trend of incorporating pet-inspired design elements into consumer products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Audio Equipment Manufacturing:** The unique design of the Hi-Fido speaker presents opportunities for audio equipment manufacturers to differentiate their product offerings and attract a niche customer base. - **Collectibles Market:** The limited production and exclusivity of the Hi-Fido speaker make it an attractive item for the collectibles market, with potential for increased demand and value. - **Consumer Electronics:** The pet-inspired design trend seen in the Hi-Fido speaker opens up opportunities for consumer electronics companies to explore innovative and playful product designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spherical Collaboration Fashion Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-x-devialet-mania.md) - [Dice-Inspired Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominote-speaker.md) - [Geometric Foldable Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentatonic-1.md) - [Bear-shaped Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-collectible-toy.md) - [Job Site-Ready Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caterpillar-aurras-speaker-concept.md) - [Digital Analog Wireless Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-hifi.md) - [AI-Powered Companion Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puppimily-touchscreen-speaker.md) - [Historical Landmark-Inspired Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/historical-landmarkinspired-speaker.md) - [Landmark-Resembling Floor Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floor-standing-wireless.md)
