Last year Judie reviewed the Altec Lansing Orbit speaker. It was a interesting speaker that can be used with any device sporting a normal 3.5 mm headphone jack. The downside to using such a speaker with a laptop is that the internal sound card in most laptops can be a bit noisy. Altec Lansing recently [...]

Creative Introduces Inspire S2 Wireless Speaker System
Lets face it, wires are often inconvenient. They look bad, can be a pain and, at times, are more trouble then they are worth. Even still, at times it is nice to be able to connect your notebook or handheld device to external speakers with more punch and better sound. That’s where Bluetooth comes in. [...]
RockBox Review – Breathe new life into your iPod
I have a confession to make. I love iPods. I have been a consistent user of the iPod since I got my first one about the time Mac OS X Tiger came out. Back then I was a Mac OS X fan and I had a PowerBook. I loved my PowerBook. I used iTunes on [...]
Bowers & Wilkins Releases the Zeppelin Mini iPod Speaker System
The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin (which Doug reviewed last October) was easily one of the best looking speaker docks made for the iPod, but with a $599 tag it was a bit intimidating for the average consumer. This October B&W is introducing the Zeppelin Mini, which they claim offers the same great sound in a [...]
Bose SoundDock 10 iPod speaker system is $600 of digital envy
If you’re an iPod owning Bose loving rich person then you’ll be excited to learn that the SoundDock 10 has arrived for a mere $599. This new sound system for the iPod and iPhone looks great on your shelf, sounds great when you play it and say’s “I have a lot of money” to anyone [...]
Logitech Introduces Two New Squeezebox WiFi Music Players
I’ve got a Logitech Squeezebox Boom that is an absolute pleasure to use. It’s one of those products that seems interesting but maybe not necessary, until you actually get one and start using it. That’s when you get spoiled…quickly. I use mine to listen to Sirius Radio inside the house, but I also use it [...]
Review: Cy-Fi Wireless Sports Speaker Bluetooth
I was searching for a Bluetooth speaker system to use with my T-Mobile G1 and lo and behold I came across the Cy-Fi Wireless Sport Speaker. This nifty little speaker can attach to the handlebar of your bicycle or motorcycle allowing you to rock out as you ride. This spacey looking speaker weighs only 5 [...]
Review: Altec Lansing expressionist PLUS Speakers
I was looking for a new speaker system to use in my kitchen with my laptop or mp3 player, when I came across the expressionist PLUS system from Altec Lansing. The Altec Lansing expressionist PLUS is a attractive speaker system that not only looks good, but sounds good as well.

Review: Neek Speaker
One thing I like to do when cleaning house is listen to podcasts or music. I don’t have much of a stereo system in my home, and I wouldn’t want to make to have the whole household suffer from me listening to the latest from one of my many Linux podcasts. So most of the [...]
Review – AudioEngine 2 (A2) Premium Powered Desktop Speakers
My buddy Dimitri recently had the chance to review Audioengine’s A5 speakers over on WhatsOniPhone. He loved the big sound and excellent build. I’ve recently had a chance to take a look at the far smaller A2s; at about 1/3 the size of the A5s, the A2s are like the smaller sibling and while they [...]

Speakal is announcing availablity for a line of iBoo iPod docks in red, white and blue. The price is $89.99 and the dock includes numerous cradles to fit various iPod devices as well as a 3.5 mm input jack for those devices refusing to play nicely and sit in a cradle. There’s a remote control [...]
Woofers – speakers shaped like their namesake
Woofers. Get it? Speakers shaped like (headless) dogs. All the benefits of canine companionship with none of the messy cleanup. I’m unsure if these are actually in production or just a design concept. The site lists them as being made from polyester with 60 watt – 180 watt RMS 4 ohm impedance. Wouldn’t these be [...]
Logitech Squeezebox Boom Review
Back when Judie was a fixture The Gadgeteer, she and I would occasionally write dually reviews. This was a term we coined that basically consisted of a review where we would chat back and forth about the product in question. Today we’re going to revive that fun format, with a review of the Squeezebox Boom [...]
Review: The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Speaker
My wife calls it the silver bullet. I think from behind, it looks like a twisted alien face, staring out at you. In reality, however, it is one of the most unique speakers I have ever used. Modeled after the Zeppelin flying machine, if this speaker sounds half as good as it looks, then I [...]
