Speakers are ugly. This ‘hidden’ speaker is $80 off for Black Friday
Large speakers, to put it bluntly, are a pain. They’re difficult to find just the right place for, and it’s even worse if you are in a small space. Smart speakers can be a decent solution, but their designs may not be to everyone’s tastes. Sure, a black or white speaker is the norm, but it can still look bad sitting on a shelf, especially if your decor is set up in a way that’s less tech-focused.
What’s the solution, then? Samsung’s Music Frame. With this neat little gadget, you get a smart picture frame that blends in with your surroundings, while offering great sound when you want it.
The Music Frame is the epitome of ‘aesthetic’
Samsung’s Music Frame isn’t the first product of its kind. You’ve likely heard of The Frame by now, Samsung’s high-end TV that blends into the background when not in use, resembling a piece of art rather than a TV. It’s a really neat piece of tech that can make decorating a lot easier to work around, since you’re not trying to make a big, ugly TV look good with whatever you’ve picked out for your living room.
The Music Frame is an extension of that idea. Essentially, this is a smart speaker, but instead of just looking like one, you use it exactly like a picture frame, including putting an actual, printed image into it. Once you hang it on your wall or set it up on a table, it looks just like any other picture frame in your home. But when you want to listen to something? All you need to do is turn it on via the app or your smart home setup, and it’ll start playing.
It’s just really neat, honestly. This speaker resembles something I’d hang next to my framed vinyl (yes, just one), and no one would ever think it looks out of place.
You can save for Black Friday
Unsurprisingly, the Music Frame is on sale for the holiday shopping season (as is most tech). This speaker is down to $320 for Black Friday, $80 off the full price. It’s a great time to pick one up, or get it as a gift for someone who needs a better speaker.
