For awhile now, I have been using (and loving) the Audioengine A5 speakers. They are a pair of self-powered monsters. There is really no other way to describe them.

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.

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.

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
