You Got That Super Bass, Ceramic Subwoofer

You Got That Super Bass, Ceramic Subwoofer

I wrote about Joey Roth’s Ceramic Speakers way back when and reviewed it. Hell, I even own a set connected to an Airport Express to enable Airplay. It’s been my main setup in the bedroom for years but due to Joey’s own desires to expand the line or calls to improve the speakers’ bass response, there’s an accompanying ceramic subwoofer to complete the setup. I’ve yet to hear it in person but plan to very soon post holiday shenanigans. Hit the jump for deets!

Buzzworthy Speaker

Buzzworthy Speaker

The Honeycomb Bluetooth Speaker was inspired by the naturally occurring substance’s unique geometric combination of shapes. The result is this wireless, elegantly styled speaker that provides 360 degrees of streaming high quality sound. The outer honeycomb shell is both aesthetically striking and structurally stable, not to mention perfect for delivering crisp sound.

The Anywhere Speakers

The Anywhere Speakers

Who can resist speakers that can be carried to all the places you fancy! Yes, the Moktak is not your typical pair of portable outdoor speakers. They are special and can be can be used anywhere; while cycling, hung from a tree…. anywhere! The speakers feature a flexible lead cable with a silicone cover and can bend into any shape. The cable stays in shape and surges power between the two audio outputs.

Hot Drop Speakers

Hot Drop Speakers

Inspired by the moment when a droplet hits water to create a ripple effect, designer Vincent Säll saw a connection between this visible phenomenon & sound waves – the result being the Drop the Beat speakers. Deep huh?! The ceiling-mounted design provides unrestrained, multidirectional sound that resonates through a natural cone shape within a cylindrical body. Designed with a touch of Scandinavian minimalism, they’re not instantly recognizable as speakers, giving them a bit of mystery until crystal clear audio is heard.

Love Origami? How About A Speaker!

Love Origami? How About A Speaker!

The Viva Speakers are inspired by origami and are extremely portable. Good enough to slip into your pocket! The docking speakers work well with the iPhone and other Android phones. It works with Bluetooth syncing as well. To open it to shape out as a cube, simply counter twist the top and bottom in one rhythmic swipe. Music beams out from all four sides creating an enigmatic surround system. The design uses empty spaces of the cube as a soundbox and it has a great quality of bass sound. I love the idea of teaming aluminum with chrome accents.

Screaming Speakers

Screaming Speakers

The Soundmasters speakers are LOUD in both aesthetic and functionality! The cabinet resembles a screaming face with the speaker as the mouth and air vents as the eyes. A multi-angular body creates a unique look that makes each unit appear to sink into the desk and also allows sound to be pointed in different directions.

The Smoothest iPod Dock

The Smoothest iPod Dock

The slim and stylish Glide is a minimal yet elegant take on the iPod docking station that will look great in contemporary and classic settings alike. Speakers located on the tips of its solid wood wings create an aesthetic of lightness and balance in contrast with its powerful and crisp sound quality.
