Sadly they're unavailable, but I want one of these so badly. I promise to only be minimally obnoxious with it.

Edit: Here's the product page if anyone's interested.

If anyone knows of a similar functional Bluetooth option like this, pleas share.

Part of me wonders if you could cheat a bit and put the speaker in say, a tricorder prop.

Looking at the size of the iPhone 15's speakers, I think it might actually be possible to fit it in. You might have to fudge the dimensions a little bit, but I think that could fit in a roughly combadge-sized space. The big question is getting the rest of the electronics to fit.

Sounds like a fun project for self-torture in KiCad.

EDIT: Another option to free up space would be to wear and conceal a throat mic. Heck, combined with the tricorder method, you could basically just make your combadge a glorified button.
