They output 15W per channel, with 70 – 20,000 Hz frequency range. Their amplifier, the item in the middle, is based on the [...]

These are maybe the most unusual speakers I’ve seen. These plush, pink bears from Juicy Couture have speakers inside, and they come with a cable to connect with the audio out jack on any MP3 player. The bears have articulated arms and legs, one is wearing a necklace with the Juicy Couture logo, and one has a [...]

A plethora of portable sound projection devices are available in a multitude of shapes and sizes. Several have piqued my interest, but the Yubz MAGNUM is somewhat unique, mostly for its factor. Because it looks like, well…a log. Yep, just like the classic Ren & Stimpy commercial. So how does this particular portable speaker system [...]

When it comes to gadgets, I think product design is a key area to think about. Some people might argue that build quality is more important and ultimately, I may tend to agree to an extent. However, when a gadget has an eye-catching design that really turns heads, then it certainly has to be worth a second look!

The Vibe and Shake speakers from Tunebug are designed to turn any flat surface into a speaker. I’ve reviewed similar speakers here before and usually ended up disappointed (although the Kerchoonz K-box Gel speaker was great) in the sound quality. The Shake caught my eye because it includes mounts for bike, skateboard and ski helmets. [...]

We carry more and more music with us every day- MP3 players, cell phones, laptops, and more. We are also carrying a dizzying array of ways to play this all back- earphones, headphones, mini-speakers, big speakers, travel speakers, radio docks, stereo docks and more. What does the Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Speaker add to this mix?

Don’t let these Victorian age style speakers fool you. The Little Horn Speakers may look like something from a hundred years ago, but they use cutting edge electronics to provide a three-dimensional audio experience. They are 3 feet tall and are available in many color combinations. The price will probably scare you away from trying [...]

Let me start by saying that these Diamond Mini-Rockers are probably the best sounding small speakers I’ve ever heard. I kept asking people to listen to them, to see if I was imagining it, but everyone who listened to these speakers was impressed. The Mini-Rockers are rated at 4 watts, they’re only 4×2 inches, the [...]

The K-box Gel Speaker from Kerchoonz is not your typical speaker. It uses whatever surface it is sitting on as a soundboard. We’ve reviewed similar devices here before. Most recently it was the Free-D i-Ball and several years ago it was the Olympia Soundbug. Neither provided what I would consider ‘good’ sound. When the folks [...]

We’ve reviewed a few vibration style speakers here on the gadgeteer (example: the Free-D i-Ball). You know the type I’m talking about, they turn any flat surface into a sound board. In my experience, they tend to ummm… how can I put this nicely… They suck. Ok, that wasn’t very nice. But yeah. The KBox [...]

Without music life would be a mistake. ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche I could not agree more. Not a day goes by that I have not listened to music during part of it. I enjoy an eclectic mixture of country, rock, smooth jazz, R&B, easy listening, old time Blues, Bluegrass, and more. It’s not unusual for me [...]

Do you have a small audio player that you would want to listen to in a small space? Then of course, you need a small speaker system. The i2iGear Folding Portable Speakers sound great and are small enough to fit in your pocket (if you have roomy pockets ). The price isn’t too bad either. [...]
