Gamers have known this for years: There are loads of different surround sound gaming speaker kits, but Logitech’s Z-series have always been awesome. Of course, this will still probably pale in comparison to their older $400, 505-Watt Z-5500 set, but the Z506 is being offered as a more flexible set that can take any entertainment device, including portables, set-top boxes and game consoles aside from a PC—all for a cent under $100.
Digital and net-radio maker Pure is all set to ship their digital radios to North America, and they’ll be shipping three new kits for the official release on July 1st: the Evoke Flow, Oasis Flow, and Siesta Flow.
Here’s a speaker-dock for your iPod that’s pretty unique: the Heritage Deluxe Table Radio by French company Revo, which is basically a dock that looks like an old radio from the 60’s. While it’s not quite as unique as, say, an iPod dock that’s shaped like a stool, this old-school radio packs in a lot of serious “right now” tech. See, this old-school wood-and-aluminum box isn’t a speaker with a slot for parking your ‘Pod. It’s a full DAB radio, with support for DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting), DAB+, FM and Wi-fi internet radio. The heritage also supports wireless audio streaming from a networked PC or Mac, which is so much more than what the average “new” speaker docks will give you.
Here’s something that we’ve never seen before. It’s called the iTamtam M1, recently unveiled by French design company Branex Design (at least we’re guessing they’re French. Their website is in a language that sounds really French-y). It’s an iPod dock shaped like a stool. In other words, it’s an iPod dock-slash-stool that you can actually sit on.
Yamaha has just launched the YHT-S400, a compact home theater audio system designed for small spaces. It’s a simple two piece kit that includes a soundbar and the receiver that integrates the subwoofer, but features Yamaha’s Air Surround Xtreme technology that achieves 7.1-channel surround sound.
