Transparent

The longest-lasting transparent speakers are made with tough recycled materials and a modular design that’s easy to repair. Transparent speakers feature aluminium and tempered glass, both hard-wearing and recyclable. Every part is replaceable or upgradeable, so you won’t need to chuck the whole thing when tech moves on. Better still, they’re backed by a lifetime upgrade programme and supported by a global repair network. Ideal if you want great sound without the throwaway faff.

To maintain a Transparent speaker, clean the glass and aluminium gently with a soft cloth - nothing too abrasive. Transparent speakers are modular, so you can swap in new parts easily, like better Bluetooth or driver upgrades via the back panel. The Transparent Upgrade service helps you update tech without replacing the whole unit. It’s like giving your speaker a little tune-up rather than trading it in for a new model.

Yes, Transparent speakers are compatible with most modern smart home systems. Each one comes with aux and Bluetooth, and thanks to the modular design, you can add smart integrations such as Alexa, Google Nest, or Sonos Port. With a bit of setup, they’ll fit right into multi-room streaming or voice-controlled systems. A clean aesthetic outside, clever tech inside - like a Swiss Army speaker.

Transparent speakers are a sustainable choice because they’re modular, upgradeable, and made from recyclable materials. Their tempered glass and aluminium housing is built to age gracefully and avoid the landfill. Since you can replace or improve components, you won’t need to bin the whole speaker when tech changes. Transparent even runs a circular service to refurbish and repair, not just replace.

Yes, you can replace individual components in a Transparent speaker without tossing the whole thing. Drivers, circuit boards, and other parts are all easily accessible and modular. This keeps your speaker working for years, lowers your cost per use, and helps the planet breathe a little easier. Spares are available through their upgrade programme or direct support.

Transparent speakers don’t compromise sound quality - quite the opposite. The tempered glass housing is acoustically inert, so it won’t colour the audio. Paired with high-spec drivers and carefully tuned internal space, these speakers deliver crisp, balanced sound throughout the room. Transparent works with expert audio engineers to strike that sweet spot between design and performance.

Transparent ensures ethical sourcing by choosing recycled materials and working only with vetted suppliers. The aluminium and glass used are both recyclable, which trims their environmental impact. On top of that, they prioritise fair labour practices, regularly auditing their manufacturers to keep things above board. It’s a speaker with conscience as well as clarity.
