Eggy Speakers Clip Together Magnetically For Transporting, And Fooling Chickens

Kat Hannaford — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 12:50:40 EST

With any luck, your PC isn't next to your oven, so these S&J Co "eggy" speakers won't be thrown in a pot of boiling water accidentally. Mind, I don't know what type of bird lays black eggs...

Dubbed as being ultra-portable, these speakers come in two magnetized halves and connect to PCs via USB. I wonder if they'd also double up as one of those fake eggs to convince chickens to lay? [S&J via Coolest-Gadgets]

Sony SRS-DF30 Speaker System Won't Let PC Kill the Radio Star

Elaine Chow — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:30:02 EST

Nowadays we've got podcasts, internet radio etc.—but if you absolutely must listen to NPR the old-fashioned way, Sony has helpfully thrown an FM tuner into one of its new computer speaker sets.

The SRS-DF30 is otherwise your run-of-the-mill 2.1 speaker system, with a headphone out, power on/off and volume control. But hey, if your internet is as unreliable as mine was back when I lived in New York, maybe an integrated radio system isn't such a bad idea. It'll be available in March for $200.

iHome iH69 Computer Speakers With Integrated iPod Dock

iHome's iH69 speakers provide an all-in-one solution for music lovers that fight a never-ending battle with gadget clutter. Simply put, these 20-watt, 2.5-inch computer speakers feature a built-in dock that will sync, charge and play your iPod. Looks like a good example of convergence if you ask me. Let's just hope they don't sound like crap. No prices have been announced, but you can expect the iH69 to hit store shelves in June. [Blast Mag and iHome]

FH007 Transparent Powered Speakers Leave Us Shaken but Not Stirred

Charlie White — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 11:55:00 EDT

Clear off the back of your desk, because this set of FH007 transparent speakers will reveal the world beyond them for all to see. It's an odd configuration, with two large oval-shaped transparent drivers pounding out the bass, and then two circular speakers taking care of the left and right channels.

Powering everything is a 4x 16-watt cube, letting you plug your PC, iPod or any other audio source directly into the system without needing an amplifier. Take the jump for one more picture of these see-through baubles, and some pricing info, too.

These are the kind of speakers that look spectacular in the showroom, but after a couple of months they've gathered so much dust that you can hardly see through them any more. And who knows how they sound? Well, for a price tag just shy of $1000, be sure you can return them. – Charlie White

Fohenz Aqua PC Speakers are Tearjerkers

Addy Dugdale — Thu, 24 May 2007 07:12:29 EDT

Fohenz's new 2.1-channel PC speakers are called Aqua. For $27 (Korea only, which is a shame) you get a 3.5-inch woofer, 2-inch drive unit, mic and headset inputs, and they support 6W output power. And they've got a nice neon light that looks all '80s porno to me. With a name like Aqua, though, I think they should have made them waterproof. – Ad Dugdale
