What it is: An iPod speaker system that is completely foldable and portable, these speakers slide out to fit different iPod models, and include a wired jack that connects to the music player's headphone port. The speakers are powered by four AAA batteries, and the system has an on/off switch to help save battery life. The speakers also can be powered by a 5-volt DC power adapter (not included). In addition to supporting music players, the speakers also work with the company's i2i Stream wireless audio devices.

Why it's cool: The small speakers are very portable and convenient for mobile workers who want to have some speakers with them while they travel, and setting them up is quite easy.

Some caveats: The sound from the speakers isn't extremely powerful, so I wouldn't expect that you'd hear music from these in a crowded or large room -- but to get some nice music in your office or in a smaller area (like a hotel room).

Grade: 4 stars.
