Nothing annoys me more than having my tunes in one place (my PC) and my audio equipment somewhere else entirely – like my car, for example. Sure, I can transfer my tunes onto my MP3 player or my mobile phone, but if I want to listen to them on my car stereo, which doesn’t come [...]

CES 2009: JVC launch cat-controlled Hi-Fi with iPod dock

Posted by Mike Evans in Audio, CES 2009, Events, JVC

JVC have been showing off a range of new Micro Audio Systems that integrate nicely with an iPod. I say nicely – the iPod simply slots into a slot at the top, and just sits there looking gormless against the giant black behemoth beneath it! The JVC system might be micro in Hi-Fi terms, but [...]

Sanyo R227 – retro wireless music player takes on the Squeezebox

Posted by Mike Evans in Audio, Sanyo, Wireless Stereo Systems

Most wireless music players, such as the Logitech Squeezebox, are sleek, futuristic-looking boxes. Not so the Sanyo R227 wireless music player, which the company’s just announced.

How to create creepy speakers

Posted by admin in Audio, How To
Munny Speaker

A little while ago we wrote about the SpeakerBuddy which reminded us of a cowering child with a hoodie (not sure what that says about our state of mind) but kitting out your Hi-Fi with little people shaped speakers can be a bit on the pricy side. With the recession looming we all need to [...]

Chord Gem Bluetooth HiFi takes on the Squeezebox

Posted by Mike Evans in Audio, Wireless Stereo Systems

The Chord Bluetooth Chordette Gem is a brand new music streamer that’ll let you stream music across a Bluetooth connection (yes, even your mobile phone) direct to your HiFi. In many ways, it’s pitched squarely against the Logitech Squeezebox, as both boxes plug into your HiFi and act almost as super-fancy adaptors, enabling a device [...]

Posted by Mike Evans in Audio

If you’ve often thought that what your Hi-Fi setup really needs is a speaker shaped like a cowering child with a hoodie, then you need the SpeakerBuddy. Just a protoype at the moment, but designer Alex Underwood is hopeful of production.
