Your beach towel can’t do that. It sports amplified speakers that are positioned right next to your ears and I’m sure everyone around you will enjoy your music. When you are all done and have soaked up enough sun and tunes, just fold it up into a backpack.

Yes, you can wash it thanks to those speakers being removable. Not sure I would want to spend $72 on a beach towel though. The speakers are powered by a lithium battery that you can also remove. As for blaring music on this thing, that beautiful model above can do whatever the hell she wants as long as I get to look.

Check out this odd laptop docking station. The Notebook USB Audio Station features a universal design for Mac and PC. Basically it props your machine up on a pair of 8-watt speakers, giving you an elevated stand and improved sound.

Wait. There’s more. There’s also a three-port powered USB hub on board so you can keep everything charged up. It can be had for under $60, but for the moment it’s only available on the company’s website and in Apple stores.

iWave’s new Disk Speaker is pretty colorful for a small speaker. It sports a round design and is a perfect fit the iPod Nano 4G and 3G. Best of all it’s portable.

The speakers are available with colorful designs printed on the speaker. Nothing on price yet though. One thing is for sure, you can’t say that the designs are boring. Looks like there’s something for everyone.

I have wished on more than one occasion that my iPad had more volume and better sound for its onboard speaker. That’s not possible though and if you want better sound from your iPad too; we will need to look to the aftermarket for speakers that work with the iPad.

The Sonos ZonePlayer S5 speakers have been on the market since late last year and are among the less expensive of the Sonos multi room music offerings. Sonos has announced a new software update is coming this month that will add an interesting new feature to the S5.

The S5 will get the ability to be used as a pair of stereo speakers. That means that users with a single S5 in multiple rooms can bring the speakers together for superior music quality when needed. The software allows the speakers to be synced for no latency issues.

We aren’t sure if these speakers really are “The Bomb”, but that’s what iFrogz has decided to call them. They can be joined together to form a ball or “bomb” shaped device. The 50mm speakers are 2W each and will take audio inputs from almost any device that uses a 3.5mm audio jack.

They run on three AAA batteries or a USB connection. The Bomb will leave a $39.99 crater in your bank account. Why not check it out and let us know how it is?

I have used lots of products from Harman Kardon over the years as well as the firms sister company JBL. Harman Kardon makes all sorts of speakers ranging for computer speakers to home theater gear. Most of the stuff tends to be high-end, which means expensive.

Harman Kardon has unveiled a couple new surround sound home theater speaker systems. The new systems include the HKTS 20 and the HKTS 30. The speaker systems are almost identical with lots of the same features including a 200W powered 8-inch subwoofer.

You probably haven’t used a cassette tape in ages, but chances are you are nostalgic about them. Well, you can always buy the Funkyfonic Cassette MP3 Speaker to bring back some memories.

It’s an external speaker that you can plug into any standard 3.5mm headphone jack, and it’s powered by two AA batteries. The retro speakers are just $22. Why not go for it and put a giant cassette tape head on your iPod?

We love home theater systems. The large sound and movie experience is awesome. But it can be challenging setting up all of the speakers and the rest of it. The Boxetti Thrill might make things easier, keeping it all in one place. It’s a home theater cabinet from Lithuanian designer Rolands Landsbergs.

When not in use, it looks like an ugly piece of furniture, a washer maybe, but when it’s movie time, it opens up Transformers style to reveal a full home theater rig including speakers and a flat screen TV on a motorized lift. There’s even hidden storage area for your DVDs and Blu-Rays. Problem is it doesn’t get any less fugly.

Remember Vestalife’s ladybug? The insect inspired speaker system for the iPod sure has come a long way. At CES 2010, Vestalife took the opportunity to launch several new designs.

Among them are the LadyBug 2 and the Firefly. The new designs are bigger, which of course means larger sound, are prettier and more streamlined. The new versions are also compatible with the new iPhones and iPod touch.

We don’t know for sure if the sound on this thing is awesome or sucky, but we love the design in which Q Acoustics hides a complete speaker system behind your flat panel TV. The setup works with TVs between 30 and 42 inches and attaches to an existing frame. It will even work with your TV sitting on a stand.

Right now it’s only available in Europe for $500. Sure it’s pricey but it gets the speakers out of the way and chances are it’s better than the speakers built into your TV.

The Creative Gigaworks HD50i speaker system aims to deliver maximum stereo impact on your desktop thanks to Creative’s High Definition Driver technology, the Titanium Super Tweeter, and BasXPort technology.

They look pretty good for their size. The front knob will adjust volume/power, and a blue LED lets you know when the speakers are powered up. And of course you can dock your iPod and enjoy all of your favorite tunes. The Creative Gigaworks HD50i speakers will cost you $169.99 and comes with a remote controller.

Good speakers cost quite a bit, so why not make sure they fit into your lifestyle? ELAC’s Art Edition FS 247 speakers want to blend in with your environment. These speakers feature a high gloss finish, and can be had in a variety of decorative themes.

The tattoo motifs will also help protect the speakers from scratches. And don’t worry, you aren’t stuck with just one look. They can be removed and switched if you get tired of your current motif. Pricing starts at $1500. Sure, that’s pretty steep, but I’m sure one or two of you out there can afford it and start a club where the pair of you swap motifs and trade stories about how you used to have money.
