World’s First Solar iPod Speaker

1 Comment / Audio/Video, Home Theater, Gizmo of the Day, Portable / By /

Hammacher Schlemmer presents the world’s first solar iPod speaker harnessing the power of the sun to listen to your favorite tunes. Your iPod docks into the speaker, drawing power from its rechargeable lithium battery which stores the sun’s energy. The device is ideal for poolside gatherings or boating because it resists splashing water from all angles per its IPX-4 waterproof rating. Housed within a rugged, rubberized and aluminum body, its two 5-watt, full-range speakers provide crisp highs, balanced mid-ranges, and resounding, bass-boosted lows.

Review: Tenqa SP-109 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Audio/Video, Home Theater, Gizmo of the Day, Reviews / By /

Tenqa SP109 Wireless Bluetooth SpeakerI had the pleasure of spending a recent long holiday weekend with Tenqa’s latest offering in the world of nearly cable free speaker solutions, the Tenqa SP-109 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. (I say nearly because they do require a power cord, though Tenqa does have alternatives that do away with that as well.) There were two criteria that were particularly important to me when investigating a Bluetooth speaker system. First was Bluetooth range, I had fears that while I might not have any cables connecting my Bluetooth enabled music player to the speakers, there might be a pesky invisible tether keeping my phone all but docked next to the speakers. The second was audio quality, I don’t claim to be an audiophile but I have a developed enough of an ear to tell the difference between a *thud* and whatever that hollow noise that speakers often produce as a sad alternative to it.

Combination USB Speaker, Alarm Clock, Calendar and Night Light

retro-speakerHow many different things can you combine into 1 device and then of course make it USB-connected and -powered? Obviously the answer is infinite! Here’s another – an alarm clock, with a speaker and a calendar all modeled to look an old-fashioned radio announcer’s microphone (like the one Larry King has as a prop).

The speaker plugs into any 3.5mm audio device (like an iPod or other MP3 player). The clock itself is powered by batteries – another retro ‘feature’. I suppose for the low price, you can’t expect too much. Unfortunately, it’s missing the obvious feature – a microphone!

Supersize Earbuds

Miscellaneous / By /

Are the iPod earbuds a little too small for your ears? Thinkgeek has the answer with a product called Supersize Earbuds. These earbuds are 500x the size of regular earbuds so you actually need elephant-sized ears.

If you aren’t an elephant or have huge ears, like my uncle, we’ve discovered that you could actually use these ginormous earbuds as desktop speakers. In fact, you’ll probably look like a chic geek with these on your desk.

Gimmie!
