HiddenRadio 2 is a [small Bluetooth speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-bluetooth-speaker1) that offers exceptional frequency and bass in a compatible package. John Van Den Nieuwenhuizen and Vitor Santa Maria created this speaker in response to the success of the original HiddenRadio. HiddenRadio 2 upgraded this model to have rich sound from a case that is the same size as a soup can. Unlike a soup can, HiddenRadio 2 is very sleek and sophisticated in design with its touch-sensitive top and extremely simple setup.

Other new features include a much better port placement as well as a way to connect an additional HiddenRadio together, ultimately creating a stereo pair. It also features a [noise-cancelling microphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetooth-audio) that can act as a speakerphone. Don't let the [small design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniroll) fool you, it packs a mean musical punch.
