This Mini Wiener Dog Speaker Cranks Out Dachsounds

The driver in a speaker cabinet that puts out the low frequencies is called a “woofer” or a “subwoofer,” but I’m guessing this 3″ long wiener dog speaker is more about his charm and cute looks than his abilities to produce deep bass. The little red dachshund connects via Bluetooth and requires no walks, dog treats, or rabies shots. And the next time someone asks “Does your dog bite?” you can answer with a very confident “No.”

If your landlord won’t let you have a real dog but will let you play music as loud as a 3″ Bluetooth speaker can play, this should be a great purchase. You can adopt your own wiener dog speaker from Firebox for $14.

Amazon is adding more titles to the list Prime Gaming subscribers can claim for free starting on September 1st. One of the latest additions is Knockout City, a recent release from Velan and EA. It’s a cross-platform dodgeball brawler launched in May that’s already available through Xbox Games Pass Ultimate and EA Play.

Fans of celeb-endorsed gadgets rejoice. Hollywood’s busiest man Dwayne Johnson has found time to release another pair of workout headphones under the Project Rock line he created with Under Armor. The cans are essentially an updated version of the durable over-ears released in 2018. But, this is more of a trio than a tag team.
