Do you have a huge collection of music that you cannot wait to share with the rest of the world? Of course you can always force your friends to drop by your place and tie them up in some chair while letting them hear your favorite tunes, or you can always subtly draw them into your favorite tracks with a good set of speakers. Rock solid speakers, actually, and Audiomasons Design Works’ offerings are literally that – where the speakers are carved out of big blocks of Indiana limestone.
Speakers that are cut from a single piece of rock? Now this is something of a novelty to me, and it will certainly raise eyebrows whenever visitors drop by your home. After all, sweeping the underside of these speakers aren’t going to be an easy task, as I suspect they will be heavier than your average plastic-clad speakers, don’t you think so? There are three models for you to choose from, where each of these speakers will weigh around 40 pounds, and depending on where you look, they retail anywhere from $995 to $1,950 per pair. You can now literally rock around the clock thanks to Audiomasons Design Works!
Now that the bitter cold of winter is done and over with for those living in the northern hemisphere, it is time to get out and play. Of course, for folks who do not live in apartments but rather, on landed property, it makes perfect sense to spend your time outdoors since you will be able to bask under the sun, sipping on a pina colada and reading your favorite book.
Of course, having some music in the background is also part of the appeal, so getting a good pair of speakers is always worth the investment. Why not settle for the AQ Wireless Outdoor Speakers instead? Sure, it might come in only black or white shades (no doubt the former will be a whole lot easier to maintain due to its dark color, that you need not clean it so often), but either way, the £89.99 speakers are waterproof to withstand those rainy days, and are more than capable of unleashing your favorite tunes within a 100 meter radius from its source (30 to 40 meters through walls and ceilings) without missing a beat.
Hercules has unveiled a new line of USB 2.0 speakers it has just launched called the Hercules XPS Diamond.

Now, we do know that the iPhone has somewhat turned into a pretty decent gaming platform, and has had its fair share of hits along the way. When it comes to racing games, however, the experience of tilting your phone either way to steer your car isn’t a really fun experience, so here is a peripheral that might just help you out.
The iPhone 4 Steering Wheel with Speakers that retails for $22.20 is here to save the day – this lightweight peripheral is meant specially for the iPhone 4, where it offers high quality audio regardless of whether you’re gaming or listening to music. All you need to do is connect your iPhone to the steering wheel’s adapter, affix that to the middle of the wheel, and you’re good to go. If only the iPhone 4 will somewhat remain on a horizontal plain no matter which way you turn the steering wheel – now that’d be uber cool.

This AQ Amigo speaker is one of those products you can tell won’t work very well just by looking at it. With speakers, they need depth to produce good sound. That’s just the physical constraints of speakers, you can’t argue with it.
But this thing, which is less than an inch thick and is designed to stupidly latch onto the top of your laptop screen, will in no way produce anything approaching good sound. And did I mention it hooks onto the top of your screen for some dumb reason? Yep. Just get normal desk speakers. They will sound and look better, I promise.

Sequel of the movie “The Transformers” broke several records, including the amount of money earned in the premiere date and the first week of rent, as well as the working space needed for the production of the film.
