The Speak-er is a set of speech bubble shaped speakers for your computer or MP3 player. They will be available this summer for $120. Pricey, but cute. 🙂
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 …

It has a rechargable battery and charges through a docking station. It can mount to your bike, boat, backpack etc, with the provided attachement. The only issue I see with …
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 …
Ever dream of pumping your iPod’s tunes to multiple rooms in your home? Setting up a whole house audio system can be a daunting task though. Running speaker wire to all the rooms and purchasing speakers can take a lot of time and money. I don’t know about you, but just the thoughts of running speaker wire makes me tired. There has to be an easier way right? What about a wireless system that is relatively inexpensive and takes just minutes to setup? The Eos Wireless Home Audio iPod Speaker System is one such solution.
One of the best things about summer is enjoying the great outdoors. For my family, that means evenings on our back patio, grilling out and taking pleasure in what nature has to offer. Unfortunately, unless we hook up a portable device, we often have to do this without one of our other great pleasures, music.
I was looking for a good home solution for the iPhone when Julie offered to let me review the T612 from Altec Lansing. I have had very good luck with Altec Lansing products in the past and the T612 didn’t disappoint.
Do you enjoy going to the theater to watch movies, or do you prefer to stay home? For myself, I’d much rather just stay home for several reasons. One reason is that gas prices are crazy and the nearest theater is approximately 16 miles away from where I live. Then there’s the fact that my Lazy Boy recliner is much more comfortable than any seat in a theater… and, I don’t have to worry about a tall person blocking my view. Another reason I prefer to stay home, is the big screen movie feel that I get from my 65″ RPTV. Orb Audio just gave me another reason to never leave my house again. They sent me their Mod2 Home Theater System to review. Let’s check it out…
Need a small speaker system for your bedroom, cube at work, dorm, etc? How about one that is powered by batteries, AC or via USB? The RAPHA SurroundXi is a portable speaker that plays music stored on a USB flash drive.
I work with Julie, and one afternoon we were talking about various iPod accessories. She’s never used anything
from the iLuv line of iPod accessories, so I volunteered to write a review. This is a review of the iLuv i177BLK.
This clock is also available in white.
Earlier this year, Audioengine was
kind enough to send me a pair of their wonderful
A5
speakers to review. These speakers have turned out to be a favorite of mine
and still occupy space on my desk at Gadgeteer headquarters. Now Audioengine
have created another set of speakers for people that don’t want to devote as
much desktop space and money in order to own a great sounding pair of speakers.
The A2’s work great with both PCs, Macs and other audio devices. Let’s take a
closer look.
For over a year now, I’ve been in love with the Audioengine 5 Speaker System. I have them sitting next to me on the custom U shaped desk in my basement office. I use them with my various iPods, and the sound that they provide is just wonderful. When the people at Sierra Sound contacted me to ask if I would be interested in reviewing their iN Studio 5.0 Smart Speakers, I was happy to oblige as I was anxious to see how they compared to my faves.
