In my X-mini KAI Capsule Speaker review I mentioned two things that I considered might be worth pointing out. The first was the price. When I reviewed the KAI I showed it around to a lot of my mates. The universal opinion was ” Oooh I love the size! Oooh I love the sound! Oooh, the price….I [...]

That being said, I don’t want it connected all the time – only when I want to share watching a movie and the like. I want it portable and rugged enough to take with me wherever I [...]

Available in walnut or black and white piano lacquer, these measure in at 9.25″ x 10.64″ x 5.91″. “We expect from a loud-speaker something more than just a beautiful [...]

Tech Lighting Railtones Wireless Sound System: I love this product. Now for a little more clarification. Ok. I REALLY love this product. To start with, I was never a big fan of amped up sound systems. I don’t get it even though my husband claims it would make our HDtv system sound better. I own [...]

It features magnetically shielded drivers, efficient bass-reflex design, two 3-inch woofers and [...]

There are a lot of things to like about the new MM1 computer speakers from Bowers & Wilkins, the makers of the famous Zeppelin iPod dock/speaker. And while these don’t have the audacious design philosophy of the Zeppelin or even B&W’s legendary floor standing speakers, the MM1s stand-out on their own merits. They are clean, [...]
