Bird-Electron EZ-TAKEGTF2 Electricity-Free Bamboo Speaker

Charlie White — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 13:16:35 EDT

No need to worry about batteries when you take along the Bird-Electron EZ-TAKEGTF2 electricity-free portable bamboo speaker ($199). Just plug the stereo miniplug into your MP3 player and you can rock the bamboo, off-grid style.

And bamboo, is, you know, sustainable. Get yourself a solar power unit for that iPod, and you'll be set to hunker down all the way through The End Times, where the definition of "sustainable" may mean lasting into the next day. What song will you listen to during the upcoming apocalypse? – Charlie White

Bird-Electron EZISON 0 is Chunky Portable Speaker Bliss, Almost

Haroon Malik — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 07:22:49 EDT

The EZISON 0 speaker has Bird-Electron written all over it; it's pricey, utterly ridiculous and has a design that makes us swoon. Available in white, red, gold, blue or silver aluminum finishes, the EZISON 0 is quite the looker whatever color you should choose, but we just cannot get our heads around the 7350 Yen ($73) price tag. After all, a portable speaker that relies on your MP3 player for juice via the 3.5mm jack connection isn't going to pump out the tunes. In fact, standing in at only 73×76×32mm, the EZISON 0 probably sounds just as good as an electron sized bird. (See what I did there with the old semantics? Please, stay seated.) [NewLaunches]

Bird-Electron Kodak Speakers Produce Kicking Sounds For Ants

Haroon Malik — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 10:30:00 EDT

Bird-Electron is as crazy as their name, also proven by this diabolical excuse for a set of portable speakers.

The Kodak Speakers are constructed from recycled 35mm plastic film cases. The set does not require any power source other than the energy it draws from the connected MP3 player. The sounds are projected as "omni-directional sound waves." We are guessing that, basically means, they sound like crap. Still, if you have $55 burning a hole in your pocket and you want to buy some speakers that will win you some brownie points with the green crowd, by all means go for it. If wasting your cash in this manner is just not satisfying enough, equally pointless wastes of cash include; throwing your money in a bin, burning your cash or burying your Benjamins in a remote location you are unlikely to recall.

Desk Cable Organizer For the Rich and Anal

Given that the cables on our mesk (combination of desk and mess) has more knots than a speedboat, we're not exactly the target market for this Bird-Electron cable organizer. But if you're truly anal about keeping your desk clean (ahem), then you're going to want to invest in this little beauty.

Costing $55 straight from Japan, this cable organizer takes in various iPod, RCA, Zune, USB or charger cables through one of its many pre-drilled holes. Sure, it'll brighten up your desk so that you can actually work, but is it worth it? After all, messy desk, creative mind, and all that. – Jason Chen

Man Stuff - The Best of Uncrate

Jason Chen — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 10:30:00 EDT

This week at Uncrate: We hit the road on the 2008 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom, crank it up with the Bird-Electron EZ0 Portable Speaker, and tear up the backyard with the Stihl Yard Boss. We also stock up on summer-wear with the Robot Rebellion T-Shirt Collection, hit the course with some new Grafalloy Epic Shafts, and spruce up our homes with Emma Jeffs Window Film. Finally, we cover our junk with some Emporio Armani Underwear, carry our lives in the retro-awesome Original Leather Postal Messenger, and go green with the Giant Twist Freedom DX.
