HANDS-ON REVIEW
Anything Speaker Surface Sound Speaker Review: Is It Worth It?
A pocket-sized puck that turns any surface — a table, a box, even a window — into a surprisingly big Bluetooth speaker.
Our verdict
The Anything Speaker is the kind of gadget that makes people go 'wait, how is that so loud?' It won't beat a premium speaker on pure fidelity, but for a pocket-sized, surface-anywhere party trick that genuinely fills a room, it's a fun, easy buy.

The short version
Instead of a cone like a normal speaker, the Anything Speaker is a little metal puck that vibrates. Connect it to your phone over Bluetooth, set it down on a table, a cardboard box, a door or a window, and that surface resonates to project the sound — often far bigger than you'd expect from something this small. It's pocket-sized, recharges over USB, and you can pair two for stereo.

How does it actually work?
It's a vibration (surface-transducer) speaker. Rather than pushing air with a cone, it vibrates whatever surface you place it on, turning that surface into the speaker.
What surfaces work best?
Hard, hollow-ish surfaces — tables, cardboard boxes, doors, windows — tend to resonate best. It's worth trying a few to find your favorite.
How is it powered?
It has a built-in rechargeable battery you top up over USB.
Can I get stereo?
Yes — pair two units together for stereo sound or extra volume.
