iShower is ready to get wet waterresistant Bluetooth speaker is now shipping

Move over, Pantene, because you may need to make room for a new addition to showers across the globe. That’s because the iShower, a water-resistant music system for use as you get squeaky clean, is now shipping for $100. Despite its name, the iShower should have no trouble playing the compatibility game, thanks to its Bluetooth connectivity with support for up to five paired devices. What’s more, you won’t need to bust out the tools to install the iShower, as the mounting system’s built-in adhesive lets you pretend to be a handyman without doing any real work — the unit can also be hung over the shower head if you’re wary of sticky residue. The music system runs on three AA batteries and provides up to 15 hours of sudsy listening time, and there’s even a built-in clock, for those unfortunate mornings when you need to cut the rock operas short. To see the system in action, just hop the break for a demonstration of the iShower from the company’s CEO.

Edifier’s Spinnaker Bluetooth speaker system promises not to hurt you, sells for $350

Edifier's Spinnaker Bluetooth speaker promises not to hurt you, sells for $350

Despite what you might be thinking, what you’re seeing above isn’t a pair of sleek and very polished viking horns — instead, you’re gawking at an eccentric set of Bluetooth speakers. Adequately dubbed “Spinnaker,” the rig measures in at a whopping 16.5 inches in height, and Edifier says the uncommon figure is specifically designed to “project sound toward the listener with front facing tweeters and mid-range drivers.” The Spinnaker’s compatible with nearly every Bluetooth-equipped (2.1+ EDR) device you may have laying around, but you’ll have to shell out a mighty $350 if you’re planning on adding these beasts to your sound setup. In any case, Edifier’s got ’em up for grabs now on its website, where you’ll also find the rest of the audio spec sheet along with some additional press shots.

All music should be accompanied by a light show. And, if said light show comes in the form of a three-foot tall self-contained iPod dock, all the better. iHome’s iP76 LED Color Changing Speaker Tower is not just a catchy name any more, it’s now a product you can actually purchase for $199. The unnecessarily tall iDevice dock is loaded with color changing LEDs that pulse, fade and blink in coordination with your tunes and you can even connect other media sources via Bluetooth. You can pick up the GlowTunes dock now direct from iHome or at unnamed “retailers nationwide.” Check out the PR and video after the break.

JBL’s extra-tiny Soundfly BT wall outlet speaker gets spoiled by the FCC

JBL's extratiny Soundfly BT wall outlet speaker gets spoiled by the FCC

JBL is known for its portable speakers, but an FCC filing has revealed that it’s willing to make speakers that are almost inconspicuous. The Soundfly BT would represent your everyday Bluetooth speaker save for the very uncommon ability to optionally plug directly into a wall outlet, skipping the power cord. Shades of the previous-generation AirPort Express, anyone? There’s not much mystery in other areas, but the 20W stereo output is unusually powerful for something small enough to hang off of a hotel room’s power port. Between the manual and live photos, about the only riddles left are the Soundfly BT’s official release date and price.
