We're suckers for unique speaker designers, and even though this isn't new by any means (remember the '80s giant foam mic?) it's innovative in this form. Plus, we aren't limited to a really ugly yellow foam mic cover.

Yuen'to is the Japanese mastermind behind the Music Balloon. The Music Balloon isn't practical for everyone, but for people that enjoy small portable speakers, and/or sharing music with other people, this is a great way to do so. And we're really diggin' that it's small enough to easily tuck it away when you're finished.

The Music Balloon is available for purchase at Idea-onlineshop.jp for ¥3,990 ($44.59).
