Cool ipod Speakers

I just got a set of the SurroundXi speakers.  You can see a picture of them to the right.  I want to assure you that I GOT THE SILVER SET, NOT THE PINK ONE!  Not that there is anything wrong with a guy getting pink speakers, or a pink ipod, of course.  Ahem.

In any case, they sound really nice.  I was surprised at how much noise this speaker puts out, actually.  I opened the box in my kitchen and listened to music in the dining nook.  The sound filled the area nicely without trouble.

You can’t really tell from the picture, but the SurroundXi is actually a tube with a speaker on either side.  It has a solid feeling aluminum outside.

There are two models… one has a dock for your ipod.  The other has a thumb drive adapter.  Unfortunately, I ended up with the thumb drive adapter model.  The buttons on the front work only when the thumb drive is attached.  That’s OK, though.  It came with an adapter to plug into my ipod, and you can control things like volume through the ipod itself, which is fine by me.

I’m going to play with my speakers for a few days, and put up a full review.  So far, however, I am impressed both with the quality of the set and also the sound.

These speakers come in a variety of colors…  you can find them at K-Mart, Target, H.E.B. and OSH, according to the company’s flyer.  I found them at Target, and they were $39.99 there.
