Hello Kitty DJ Speaker Brings Out the Disco Pussy Lover In You [What's Playing, Pussycat?]

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 12:00:00 +0000

Who else would spend $25 in a Hello Kitty Action DJ Speaker—which moves pretending she's a DJ at the rhythm of the music played in your digital audio player—but a twisted disco pussy lover with probably too much Jack Daniels running through his veins and listening to ABBA right now?

FedEx says they are delivering it this monday. Oh. Yes. [Think Geek]

Constant Garden in your desktop

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 10:18:07 +0000

It is always nice to have something green in our place right? Greens like plants look so refreshing and they enable us to be closer to nature. The problem is maintaining a plant is something that some of us finds hard to do. It requires a lot of things mainly, proper care. They need to be watered regularly, be exposed to sunlight and be kept away from pests that destroy their beauty. If you are a busy person, no matter how much you like to have a decorative plant in your working place, you can’t seem to be able to do all those things.

Well, thanks to designer Vitorio Benedetti. He designed the Constant Garden, a decorative plant that everyone will love to place on their desk. The plant requires less maintenance since it is not a real one. It is only made out of rubber. But aside from giving your desk a refreshing look, Constant Garden can also play some “garden music”. Each stalks of the plant come with a speaker and they are embedded with LEDs. Vitorio Benetti presently is looking forward to further improve the Constant Garden by syncing it with a computer. Then, it can work as a reminder of all the events and appointments that the users have to attend to by the use of a coordinated visual approach.

So what do you say? Time for some green, huh?

JBL WEM-1 makes any speaker system wireless

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 08:07:09 +0000

One of the most annoying things about installing a killer home theater or multi-room audio system, is snaking wires through the walls and ceilings to install the speakers where you want them. We've seen a few dedicated systems that include wireless speaker hookups, but until now there wasn't an easy wireless solution that you could use with any speaker.

The new WEM-1 from legendary speaker company JBL transmits two channel audio up to 70 feet over a 2.4 GHz wireless connection, allowing you to send music to a second room, or to connect the rear speakers in a surround rig without snaking wires. The transmitter has RCA, mini-jack and speaker level inputs, while the receiver has a 50 watt per channel amplifier, and a subwoofer output. A remote lets you control the volume, or switch to a local input like an iPod in the second room.

The WEM-1 will be available later this month for $359

The USB Desk Lamp and Speaker

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:00:56 +0000

We have seen a few combination gadgets here on Coolest Gadgets. Like ones that include a light, microphone and webcam. Well this one doesn’t include quite that much technology, but it at least combines a couple to free up some workspace on your desk. If for some reason you don’t have iTunes running on your main computer, then the set of speakers attached to the lamp might come in handy to hook your iPod up to. Of course this is yet another fairly cheap USB product, so the speakers aren’t going to be stellar but they’ll at least get the job done.

The light itself is an LED lamp that has nine bright and shiny LEDs to make sure you can see the task at hand. This would also be nice if you tend to take your laptop to the living room and work on the coffee table to have a small easy to move lamp for task lighting as well as some music. It has all the usual on/off switches as well as volume control directly on it. It comes in both pink and green and is being sold on Gadget4all for $22.50.

Powerline Stereo Audio System

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:30:02 +0000

Arkados and IOGEAR have collaborated to bring a multi-room home audio system - the Powerline Stereo Audio System, to the masses. This model is able to hook up to an iPod directly (other compatible audio sources will do as well), creating whole-house music in an instant.

The Powerline Stereo Audio System uses existing electrical lines within the home to stream music to any room, creating a full-house multimedia network without the need for expensive audio cable installation. Arkados’ HomePlug powerline technology and its Direct-to-Speaker software provide reliable connectivity and the highest quality digital sound from the audio source to the speakers for the system.

It will retail for $379.95 - pretty pricey if you ask me.

JBL helps guys get wife approval on 5.1 surround sound

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:03:52 +0000

I remember trying to get my wife to agree to let me put 5.1 surround sound in our living room when we bought our first house. She was of the opinion that two small speaker wires running along the bottom of the wall would be the first thing other women would see when they walked in the house. I was of the opinion that she was crazy, but as is the way of women, she won out — for a while.

Thankfully, guys can preempt the old “wires are ugly” argument when they tell the wife or significant other that they want a surround sound system in the living room thanks to JBL. The new JBL WEM-1 Wireless Expansion module will turn wired loudspeakers into wireless units. The JBL system uses a receiver and amplifier unit with 50W of power.

The transmitter module connects to an audio source and the receiver/amp unit connects to a pair of speakers. The system features a remote control and has a 70-foot transmission range. Connectivity options include line-out and speaker-level outputs to accommodate a variety of components. The amp/receiver also has a local input for playback of music from a MP3 player. The JBL On Air WEM-1 Wireless Expansion Module will be available in September 2008 for $359.
