The KAKKOii Bluetooth speaker is a 'WOW' gadget (Photos)

I see portable Bluetooth speakers just about every day, but I have to admit, I've never seen anything like the KAKKOii WOW speaker.

Never heard of KAKKOii? It's a unique new brand that combines high quality contemporary design and usefulness for modern day living. It is the creation of Antonio Arevalo a London designer with an eye for iconic design, and as evidenced by the new WOW speakers, especially when it comes to tech products.

The name KAKKOii is derived from the Japanese word for cool and the WOW speaker is just that.

More on the WOW. It's a solo wireless speaker that uses Bluetooth connectivity and possess a huge sound.

This durable and unique looking speaker is compact and travels well. Take your music with you to your office or on vacation with the WOW speaker.

“By taking a human-centered approach to design we aim to create pieces that are desirable, useful and timeless," said Arevalo. "Having worked in design for many years I have developed a particular style that transcends through to the WOW speaker and will unify all future KAKKOii products.”

You might expect a speaker like this to be out of your price range.

In my tests, I found the Bluetooth range to exceed 30 feet. The sound it incredible, not sure if it's the design or the internal parts, but this speaker almost blew the doors off my office. Ok, I may be exaggerating a little, but the sound is incredible.

It's also durable. I've read other reviews where this speaker withstood drops and falls and didn't miss a beat. I like it too much to risk dropping it.

The battery is recharged via a miniUSB port and a charge lasted me over 4 hours. If you pair it with your iPhone is will go on "silent" when you take your call.

Can you tell I like this speaker?

The KAKKOii WOW speaker is priced in the $75 range, and available in a choice of eight bold and vibrant colors - blue, black, red, yellow, pink, orange, grey or white. You can purchase the speaker from the online store now at www.kakkoii-me.com.
