Lego Style Bricks Speaker

bricks speaker Lego Style Bricks Speaker
Lego fans everywhere will love this Lego-like Bricks Speaker. The speaker uses NFA (Near Field Audio) to automatically amplify the sound of any smartphone with an integrated speaker that is placed directly upon it. No setup or pairing of any type is required. We demoed a similar NFA speaker here. Just put your phone atop it and sound comes out of the speaker. Bricks come in a variety of bright colors and you can also place your phone upright in between the pegs like so:

Taste the rainbow. There’s also a 3.5mm mini-stereo jack in case your device doesn’t have it’s own speaker or can’t be placed directly on the Bricks. You can power the device through batteries or a USB cable. It runs for about 10 hours on a set of batteries. Awesome. Everything is awesome.

We love a good combo gadget here at Craziest Gadgets. And the Maverick Chef Tunes Bluetooth Kitchen Speaker & Roasting Thermometer Bluetooth Speaker Roasting Thermometer does not disappoint. It makes more sense if you think of it as a speaker that has the added functionality of a thermometer rather than the other way around. The 3w wireless speaker has a rechargeable battery that is USB or AC chargeable. It pairs with most smartphones and even has a button to answer calls. The large LCD clock converts to a roasting thermometer; just plug in the probe and stick it into your food.

It’s a full on kitchen dance party.

Cone of Shame Speaker

cone of shame speaker Cone of Shame Speaker
Poor doggie… he has to wear the cone of shame. At least he can play some good music to forget about his misery because the Good Dog Cone of Shame Speaker is a speaker (obviously, it has speaker right in the name). Linguistic semantics aside, this little pooch measures about 6 inches square and plugs into the headphone jack of your music playing device.

Talk about a woofer. It’s a doggone shame. Puppy love. Now you’re just throwing out dog related phrases that have nothing to do with anything. And writing as if you’re talking to yourself. So what, am I in the dog house now? You’re just barking up the wrong tree. Honestly at this point it’s Friday, I’m in weekend mode and have no idea what this post is even about anymore. Aaaand this is why we don’t post up our internal monologues on the blog. At least I made it this far without mentioning the Who Let the Dogs Out song. Whooops.

Put your music on your wrist with the bem wireless Speaker Band. This colorful bluetooth speaker has the look of a chunky watch but it actually connects wirelessly to your phone and plays music.

Comes in 6 funky colors for about $50. You could even pick up a pair and hold them up to your ears for personal surround sound.

Review: SoundDew Wireless Water Resistant Speaker

Posted on by

sounddew in hand Review: SoundDew Wireless Water Resistant Speaker
The folks from White Label sent over one of their SoundDew Wireless Speakers Review: SoundDew Wireless Water Resistant Speaker to review and we’re really loving this durable little speaker. As you can see above the speaker is palm-sized (about 3″ across) and has a small loop on the top. It’s pretty lightweight and has a rubbery outer ring and back with a hard plastic front speaker grill. Our first order of business was to charge it up via the included USB cable. The battery charged up in a few hours and although we haven’t used it up, it should be good for about 10 hours of playback and 100 hours on standby. There are 3 buttons on the side:
sounddew side Review: SoundDew Wireless Water Resistant Speaker
Setup was simple, we pressed the center button to turn it on, then held it down until we were able to connect it via Bluetooth to the phone. It can connect with any Bluetooth device- phone, iPod, computer, etc. The Bluetooth works up to 33 feet away and we were able to use it anywhere in the house without any issues- even while the phone was charging in another room. Next up was to really take advantage of it and bring it in the shower. Yes, the shower- it’s water resistant (IPX4 level- which means it can stand drops of water and splashing for 5 minutes).
sounddew in shower Review: SoundDew Wireless Water Resistant Speaker
There are two things we were looking for- would it work while getting wet and would it be loud enough to hear the music over the shower. It passed on both counts. While you’re not going to use it in place of your booming bass subwoofer and home theater system, it certainly was loud and clear enough to hear over the shower and to fill up any room with a fair amount of sound for it’s size. The volume buttons were simple enough to use with wet hands.
sounddew wet Review: SoundDew Wireless Water Resistant Speaker
There it is, wet and still working. The SoundDew also has a built-in microphone, so you can use it to take and receive calls. The rubber loop on top makes it ideal for hanging in your shower, boat, poolside, or on your bike or backpack. It’s water resistance and durability make it a great little speaker for outdoor sports and beach enthusiasts too. Or use it while washing dishes and keep your phone safely protected in your pocket.

Overall we really liked the SoundDew. Does it have a thousand buttons and every feature under the sun? No. Does it work great as a durable, basic and highly portable speaker that can get dusty and wet and still let you hear your music? Absolutely.

Cardboard Headphones with Cotton Ball Speakers

cardboard headphones Cardboard Headphones with Cotton Ball Speakers
Move over Beats by Dre, there’s a new headphone in town. Much cheaper (and cheaper looking). This DIY jobber is made from a pair of prepared dc-motors, cotton balls, and some cardboard boxes. They don’t actually play “music” exactly but the two motors make the cotton balls vibrate into the box, creating an effect that sounds like someone is playing drums on your head. Check out this brief demo video:

To be honest, I’ve heard worse sound from some headphones and worse music from some bands on the radio. This might just drive you a little crazy, which would be fine since you’ll already look crazy wearing them. Designed by Janis Weidner for Studio Zimoun. (via designboom)

File this one under “how does this product not exist yet?” Apparently there are many mp3 to audio cassette adapters and they’re all like this Belkin one Bluetooth Audio Cassette Adapter with a wire dangling out that you plug directly into your headphone jack- unchanged since the days of the portable cd player. But now Ion Audio has announced the Cassette Adapter Bluetooth that does away with the wire.

The adapter uses bluetooth to create a wireless solution to streaming music from your phone or making hands-free calls. Ideal for anyone driving a classic car (or an old beater) that doesn’t want to or can’t change out the entire stereo unit. Or play it in your old school boombox. The adapter has a USB rechargeable battery that’s good for 6 hours of playtime. No pricing or release date yet. (via gizmodo)
