I believe they're not considered to be concealed, since idk, the packaging says so. Reading another comment which says it's a bluetooth speaker, so maybe the ability to listen was never reported to the consumer, which would make it a concealed listening device.

According to the article, it answers questions (using Google). I haven't seen one, but I'd expect the microphone to be featured.
