Qualifications:

Squeezebox

27 people recommended this item

Description

I loved my original SliMP3, the predecesor to the squeezebox. From all accounts, Slim Devices has only made things better in the following generations. Though I passed on my SliMP3, I am seriously tempted to pick up a new Squeezebox, especially with all of the streaming Internet radio it supports in addition to listening to your MP3 collection on your Linux box.

500 XL

Description

Called 500xl Speakers because these speakers are 500 times the size of the earbuds they are designed after, this set is a playful take on the most standard of iPod accessories. Fortunately, they are made to sound a lot better. (via BLTD)

Raspberry CLOCKY Alarm Clock

Description

An alarm clock with a Valentine's Day theme (or at least color) is difficult to find. Hopefully, if things work out, you'll be getting a little use out of this clock when waking up next to your valentine.

Audio purists will snicker at these tiny speakers housed in a material so unstable as cardboard, but this set speaks to the clever simplicity of Muji Design.
