Just as the name suggests, the Idea International USB Card Speaker is a [miniature amplifier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiio-snowsky-tiny) that fits right into the palm of your hand. With the exception of the degree of thickness, it really is the size of a credit card in length and width. This will broadcast about [five hours of sound](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-speakers) with a 3.55mm jack connection that should fit just about any MP3 player you want to use. You can charge this device via USB and it requires about two hour for it to be completely juiced up. The Idea International USB Card Speaker is available in a variety of colors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 4% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Miniature Amplifiers:** Innovation opportunity for electronics companies to develop and market smaller and more portable speakers. - **USB Charging Speakers:** Innovation opportunity for companies to create environmentally-friendly and convenient speakers that are charged via USB. - **Credit-card Sized Speakers:** Innovation opportunity for companies to create speakers that are smaller in size without compromising sound quality. ### Where This Applies - **Electronics Industry:** Innovation opportunity for electronics companies to create new portable speakers, particularly those that are small in size. - **Music Industry:** Innovation opportunity for music companies to create products best suited for portable speakers. - **Consumer Electronics Industry:** Innovation opportunity for companies in the consumer electronics industry to create more affordable and technologically advanced portable speaker alternatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pocket-Sized Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniroll.md) - [Travel-Friendly Mini Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-ears-1.md) - [Mini Portable Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stormbox-mini.md) - [Ultra-Compact Wireless Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexon-mino.md) - [Miniature Retro Audio Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ka15-usb-dac.md) - [Wearable Mini Wireless Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexon-mino-t.md) - [Portable Eco-Friendly Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-marley-get-together-mini.md) - [Posh Power-Free Smartphone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amplifying-speaker.md) - [Dice-Inspired Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominote-speaker.md)
