Twist It up
Despite the fact that these mini speakers all fit in your open hand they are said to sound real impressive. At full blast they output 13 watts, which is pretty good considering there size, 48mm x 62mm. The tubular design allows the speakers to be adjusted 180 degrees so that you can easily output sound to which ever direction you desire. Pretty clever is the control unit that features a touch pad similar to an ipod. The sphere glows in different colors as you tap it to access its different functions, such as volume, bass, treble etc.
Funky and stylish they are, and for traveling they definitely seem perfect, but for home it wont do, not unless they release a matching subwoofer to complete the set.

I can see these taking the role that JBL Creature II and Harman Kardon SoundSticks has had as the ultimate iMac companion for sexiness alone...
Actually, I think the perfect solution here would be to have these on the desktop, for all the "ding dong, you've got mail" sounds; and then stream iTunes to some good, but less sexy speakers via Airport Express...
