B&W Zeppelin MM-1 Computer / Laptop Speakers – Should be Called Mmmmmmmm – 1

by Jay Garrett on November 17, 2009

BW-MM-1-speakersAh, the heady world of PC and Laptop speakers.

There are some nice ones out there as is there some interesting ones – just look at these and these!

But when you mention the name Bowers & Wilkins and computer speakers – then you have to take note.

You read right my gadgety faithful – the same people that designed the balloon-based iPod dock and speaker loveliness has decided to cast its eye over what can be one of the most bland areas on your desk.

The Zeppelin MM-1 has no need for a separate subwoofer, which keeps the trailing wires to a minimum, and the pair of ear-pleasers hooks up to your puter by means of a simple USB connection.

The only extra seems to the inbuilt headphone socket.

B&W haven’t mentioned a price (don’t think bargain basement though folks) and they’re said to be (air) shipping in January.

Vestalife Firefly iPod Dock – Reminds Me of a Cartoon Character but Which One?

by Jay Garrett on November 12, 2009

vestalife-firefly-novelty-ipod-speaker-7You have to do something different if you want someone to notice yet another iPod dock hitting the market.

Vestalife has revealed theirs and have called it the “Firefly“.

Vestalife says that the cuteness belies a “bold personality and powerful sound”.

They also says it has “organic flowing lines that give it a unique attitude and personality”.

So – a dock with wings” eh?

More importantly than the winged speakers there’s also a built-in rear firing ported subwoofer, a digital amplifier and touch-sensitive controls.

The Firefly comes in three soft-touch finishes – metallic red, metallic silver and metallic black- the Firefly can be AC or battery-powered and is compatible with all dockable iPods as well as the iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS.

Oh – it costs $129.99.

Is it still cute now?

I’m thinking cute, I believe blue, large ears…………..
