Realizing the need for technology to adapt to cell phones, Logitech created the Pure-Fi Mobile Portable Stereo System. Owners of the loudspeaker can enjoy music from the speaker instead of the phone. That is, the music is streamed from the phone to the speaker, giving listeners a much better platform to enjoy their favorite songs. This was made possible by Bluetooth technology, so the system is completely wireless.

Besides the ability to listen to music, users can also make phone calls from the speaker. The speaker itself has a button to end calls on it, in case the phone is out of reach. The speaker also has two microphones built into it, so phone calls are clear and easy to hear.

The Pure-Fi Mobile Portable Stereo System will be available this June. It is sure to make an impact on cell phone technology, as it will be a must have for many cell phone users.

StereoStone has a history of making hidden speakers. In the past, the rocks and other products they have hidden their speakers in have not been functional. This time, that is not the case.

StereoStone has come out with the Fountain Speaker. Besides its great wrought iron looks, the Fountain Speaker consists of a fully functioning water fountain, with a dual voice coil 250 watt speakers hidden at the base of the fountain. The speakers can be played in both dual and mono mode, depending on the users’ preference.

A small piece of speaker wire is the only thing needed to make the speaker functional. It is easily connected to a musical device, and can play music while the fountain is running.

The Fountain Speaker retails at $599. No assembly is required, so the speaker will be ready to go right out of the box. For one price, consumers will be able to enjoy both a nice yard ornament and stereo sound in the backyard.

It’s not just your normal Bluetooth speaker system. The Parrot PARTY Black Edition Bluetooth Speaker with NFC combines Bluetooth technology with NFC to make a unique home entertainment speaker. NFC technology is currently on the rise, with Nokia’s announcement that they will begin using it with some of their cell phones. It is expected that within the next several years, more than 500 million cell phones will be equipped with NFC technology. What, exactly does that mean for the Parrot PARTY speaker, or for you?

While Bluetooth normally has to be synced to a mobile device by programming it into the system, NFC technology allows for the pairing of Bluetooth devices by simply touching the cell phone to the NFC device. Yes, it really is that easy. If you have a NFC cell phone, just touch it to the Parrot PARTY speaker, and you are then synced.

Not only does the Parrot PARTY sync easily with a cell phone, the speaker can also play music from your computer or mp3 device. The Bluetooth technology allows for it to sync with all Bluetooth devices.

The six watt speaker system has enough power to sound good while playing your mp3s. For only $156, you can add this to your repertoire of gadgets to show off to the neighbors.

This is a JVC’s new 2.0 multimedia speaker system for young and lively spirited people. The product is like a scene of a club where a DJ is playing music. Today, many new generation PCs do not just serve a single function; they have become multifunctional workstations.

The computer takes the center place of a person’s room, as well as his or her life.

The programmed LED lighting system gives three options of digital display: jazzy, funky, or no display. The eleven-panel speakers will randomly light up as the music plays. Imagine Yoho as a mood creator in the center of a room in your house at your next party.

The front shape made subwoofer (will be 10″-12″ in size) is ported through the tail section of the enclosure providing a frequency response down to 20Hz. First order crossovers are used and on the top end, the Mobius MKII will play up to 20kHz. A variety of high-quality metallic and piano finishes will be available and the expected release date is in the Spring of 2008 with the possibility that the Mobius MKII will make an appearance at CES.

A wonderful old-school cd-player, rearranged to suit the layout of a phonograph. Design by Yong Jieyu and Anna Xue Hong Bin. The speakers are put below the trumpet, and the wooden box is made slightly more spacious than the electrical PCB board needed to achieve bass resonance.

The laser pointer is shifted to the top allowing the spin of the CD to be clearly shown. By bringing back a familiar nostalgic form of a phonograph, the design seeks transport the user back to the golden age of phonographs in early 1900s where sound broadcasting had a magical feel.

Is very suitable for elegant owners with minmalistic homes.

There’s a special type of recording called binaural recording where you use two microphones and a two-track recorder, but place the microphones in a headshaped enclosure right where the ears would normally be. The result is generally pretty realistic as far as spatial rendition. There’s a slightly more advanced version called holophonic recording, invented by Italian Hugo Zuccarelli, where he uses an interference pattern and mixes the sound with a barely audible reference signal.

Here are some examples to listen:

Holophonic Demo

Developed in the 1980s by Hugo Zuccarelli, Holophonic Sound uses the same “multiple exposure” premise as that used to create holographic images (“holograms”). Holophonic Sound is produced by recording the interference pattern generated when the original recorded signal is combined with an inaudible digital reference signal. The recorded sound produced is so realistic, some people claim they can smell sulphur when they listen to a holophonic recording of someone striking a match! It appears that Holophonic Sound waves stimulate our brains to reproduce very realistic and truly three dimensional sound within us, thereby stimulating other corresponding responses that our brains expect to accompany the sound, (like scents or other sensations). Even more interesting is the fact that researchers report that some hearing impaired people can “hear” Holophonic Sound - again because it stimulates their brains even though their audio receiver mechanisms are not working properly.
