Up until recently your iPod was nothing more than a glorified personal music player – not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just that music was meant to be shared.  ThinkOutside, along with Apple, are discovering that there is an untapped market of consumers who want their iPod (or similar mp3 player) to be the heart and soul of the party.  And why not?  It’s got all the styles and now it’s got the voice to match.

The Stowaway Boomtube H201 portable music player provides you with more than 40 watts of playback power.  These speakers are just as portable as your iPod and have 5 hours of battery time to last just as long as well. 

Included in the kit are 2 satellite speakers and a powerful subwoofer with the satellite speakers being connected to the base system by a meter of speaker wire.  Connection to your music player is simply a matter of connecting the 3.5mm stereo connector.  It’s nice to see ThinkOutside taking care of mobile phone users by including a 2.5 to 3.5mm converter.

Being portable means that you’re likely to drag these speakers with you on camping trips so thankfully the anodized aluminum housing resists stains and scratches. Aluminum speaker cones provide for better quality and style.

That’s about all we can say on this unit until we manage to secure a review unit.  Go ahead and check out the specifications and buy online in the USA ($250) or UK (£169.99).  Be sure to stop back and let us know what you think of these cute speakers!

The Sony NAS-D5HD Hi-Fi features a 40GB hard disk drive capable of recording from CD, FM Tuner and the line-in so you can get great copies of songs on the radio.  But aside from that, as it was surely not it’s intended purpose, you can also connect it up to an ethernet network or a USB mass-storage device.  Once connected to either system you will be able to transfer and play mp3 files without hassle.
