Comes with 1x Micro USB charging cable (most people already have these at home so you could use that as well) + 1x Audio Line-In cable to connect to the speaker without using Bluetooth. Built in AM/FM Radio.
These were originally purchased to support a Kickstarter Project. While these may be a little outdated, they still work well. Great for kids or keep one in the batch or car.
Please note: while I have tested that they are all working, I have not tested how long the battery will last. However they can also be used while connected via USB to a power source. Pick up from Devonport.
More info from website:
The HiddenRadio & Bluetooth Speaker is based on minimal, timeless design and user intuition. When asleep it hides all its functions, being silent and unanimated. To turn it on you simply twist and lift the cap; the further you lift the cap the more internal volume is created and will amplify to over 80dB of crystal clear sound. This unique design connects and captivates the user through its intuitive functionality.

Shame on Auckland Council for selling this piece of green space in Takapuna.

Last week, a majority of councillors, Mayor Phil Goff and mayoral-hopeful Efeso Collins, voted to sell the parkland at 4 Blomfield Spa despite the sale being opposed by the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board who are responsible for local parks in Takapuna.
Article: www.stuff.co.nz...
The park is to be sold to help raise $70million per year in park and property sales to fill budget shortfalls, which is a very poor reason to sell green space at a time when Auckland is intensifying and private gardens are disappearing.
If 4 Blomfield Spa wasn't being used enough, then perhaps it could have been developed into a community garden, or re-forested to help fulfil council's Urban Ngahere (Forest) Strategy, or exchanged for better park space elsewhere in Takapuna.
The vulnerability of parks like this shows why it is absolutely essential for ALL local boards to gazette all parkland under the Reserves Act and provide a Reserve Management Plan for them, as soon as possible. Over the last few years, the Kaipatiki Local Board has converted all parks to reserves and will be consulting on an omnibus Reserve Management Plan to cover all reserves in a few months.
