[Dan]

just been reading about these on a gadjet site, anyone got one? i quite fancy one - just for taking away etc, wondered if anyone has one or has heard one?

Around the size of a computer mouse, it'll turn any flat shiny surface into a speaker! You simply stick it onto a window, desk top, bath, door, dinghy, whatever - and the Sound Bug sends out sound vibrations up to 75dBm (peak) turning the surface into a speaker. Hook it up to a CD player, MP3player, portable DVD, laptop, - any device that takes a standard 3.5mm jack - and you've got a portable sound system that fits in your pocket. The sound isn't exactly mega-bass pumping, not surprisingly for its size and price, but it's perfect for use at home or the office or for travelling around and you can link two together for stereo style sound.

The Sound Bug has been designed to work best with compressed frequency music (i.e. pop), glass creates a clear crisp sound, metal will give you a slightly sharper sound, and wood or MDF produces deeper base tones. It has two sound levels and a cool auto-off feature that cuts in when the music stops to save on batteries.

Play your favourite music anytime, anyplace, anywhere. The sucker push ring attaches to any glossy hard smooth surface or connect to any personal stereo that uses 3.5mm stereo jack socket.

Sound output 75db for a single Soundbug.

I heard about these last year.

They seem like a clever but straightforward idea.
Haven't seen them anywhere though so I guess they are more a gadget than a viable alternative.

Would be interested to hear your opinion if you go ahead and purchase one.


You may want to check out NXT speakers. TDK, I think, have a CD storage wallet where the front and rear covers double up as speakers.

I got my dad one for christmas last year, to be honest, the sound quality is nowhere near as good as a normal speaker but it's handy if you don't want to carry speakers with you in your luggage.
