San Francisco-based NudeAudio has launched a crowdfunding campaign via Kickstarter for the upcoming miniature, sand-proof and waterproof addition to its “Move” line: the Super-M. The Bluetooth speaker is designed to balance high-quality audio with portability to follow users into nearly any environment. The campaign was officially launched today and, at the time of publication, has garnered more than $45,000 of its $75,000 goal from over 500 backers.

NudeAudio launched last summer with the Move S, Move M, and Move L (small, medium, and large). The series was aimed at providing something for everyone with its varying sizes: “L for around the house, M to grab and take to the park and S to leave attached to your snowboard jacket or backpack,” the Kickstarter product page explains. “The grab-and-go size of M proved to be by far our most popular, so for our next and most ambitious development to date, we decided to explore how far we could take the acoustics in the M size.”

Thus, the Super-M was born. The revamped speaker pumps sound via four full-range, neodymium drivers (each pair is accompanied by a passive radiator for a total of six drivers) and two passive subwoofers for what NudeAudio claims to be “rich, accurate 360-degree sound unprecedented for a speaker of its size.”

The device has eight hours of battery life, speakerphone capabilities, and is encased in an IPX-5-rated waterproof housing with a shockproof silicone sleeve for protection.

With each passing month we’ve seen the steady influx of Bluetooth speakers take on bigger and badder features – we wouldn’t be surprised to see a speaker claiming to be able to withstand flames and cliff plunges. Of course, robust construction aside, it will be a challenge for the Super-M to deliver decent audio performance at such a small size.

If you’re interested to find out for yourself, you can back the project to get in line for your own Super-M starting at $79.

The best hidden gems on Netflix right now
Ahn Eun-jin in Goodbye Earth.

Have you ever come across a show on Netflix that was so particular to your taste that it felt like the series was made for you? If so, chances are good that it only got a single season on Netflix. No one has enough time to watch every series on Netflix, and the vast majority of them come and go with such speed that it's almost like they were never there at all.

This roundup of the best hidden gems on Netflix is dedicated to finding shows that deserve a second look, or at least an elevated push on Netflix's algorithm. This month, we're putting the spotlight on Goodbye Earth, a new Korean drama that dropped this week, as well as a nature documentary called Our Living World and a sitcom that was one of Netflix's one-season wonders: The Good Cop. You can find these three and more below in our roundup of the best hidden gems on Netflix.

B&O’s iconic six-disc CD player is back and can be yours for just $55,000
Bang & Olufsen Beosystem 9000c.

Legendary Danish audio brand Bang & Olufsen (B&O) is bringing back its Beosound 9000 CD player -- a six-disc device that can lie flat or be mounted vertically or horizontally -- as the limited-run Beosystem 9000c. Only 200 will be sold and each player will be paired with a set of B&O's Beolab 28 speakers,. It's a package that will set you back by $55,000. If that number doesn't give you pause, you'll be able to buy one starting April 24.

If that price does gives you sticker shock, B&O wants you to know just how much time and effort has gone into making this limited edition possible. The Beosystem 9000c isn't a new manufacturing run. Instead, B&O collected 200 original Beosound 9000 CD players, which it then refurbished in the same factory (and with many of the same technicians) where they were first built between 1996 and 2011.

Walmart continues its reign of great TV deals with the option to buy an Onn. 75-inch Frameless 4K TV for just $448.

If you want a great new TV to add to your home for less, this is the perfect opportunity to do so while saving plenty of cash. Let’s take a look at what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Onn. 75-inch Frameless 4K TV
Onn. is nowhere to be seen in our look at the best TV brands but it’s still pretty respectable for anyone seeking a budget-priced TV. The most obvious benefit here is the hefty 75-inch 4K screen with 2160p resolution. It looks great with a crystal clear picture which is an excellent upgrade compared to an HD screen. The Onn. 75-inch Frameless 4K TV might lack the finer features of the best TVs but it has the essentials arranged well.
