We’ve all got that record, the one we discovered early on that completely changed the way we look at music. Mine was Operation Ivy’s 1989 effort Energy, and I’m proud to say that—I think—it still holds up.

Any computer user who loves using their desktop machine to wind down after a particularly hard day at work (be it from gaming or watching movies) would definitely know of the value of a speaker system, and with so many different kinds of speaker systems around, just which one would you settle for? Well, you might want to check out the Edifier e1100 Predator speaker system for something that is slightly off the beaten path. For starters, the Edifier e1100 Predator will come with a downward firing 5-inch subwoofer and a couple of desktop satellite speakers, where each of them will have a 2-inch front firing full-range driver and 2-inch passive radiator. Needless to say, the name of this might be Predator, but it seems to be all Alien to us instead, judging by the xenomorph-inspired chassis.
Thanks to the Edifier e1100 Predator’s angled satellites, they are said to enhance sound projection, with their passive radiators throwing in dynamic range. The subwoofer works great in delivering deep, even bass that is adjustable to individual tastes. You can hook up the e1100 Predator to any audio device using the 3.5mm auxiliary input, and it does seem as though the Edifier e1100 Predator is the ideal companion for gaming rigs, in an office, or just functioning as a home entertainment system. You can pick up the Edifier e1100 Predator for $79.99 a pop.

Just in time for Halloween, Jarre’s new Aeroskull dock embodies 70 watts of total power in a human-like cranium, complete with a pair of speaker-packing shades. Jarre is showing off the colorful chrome tune machine in black, white, blue, green, orange, pink, purple and yellow finishes, with a matching IR bone remote to boot. With a tinted lens appearance, the permanently affixed sunglasses actually contain two 15-watt speakers, with a 40-watt subwoofer occupying the skull’s rear. The lofty £349 (about $565) sticker price will net you some of the latest technologies, including Bluetooth audio support and a standard 3.5mm audio input, but Apple’s new Lightning port is notably absent, with a good-as-dead Dock Connector mounted up top, instead. With 70 watts of power and Jarre’s backing, this seemingly bizarre rig may actually offer decent performance. You’ll need to wait until its October ship date to see for yourself, but if a skeletal sound system is on your list of must-haves, you can rest in peace knowing that you have but weeks to live (with your current spirited setup).

If you’re in the market for a battery-powered speaker and are willing to splurge a bit, then you’d be wise to check out the 1Q from Vers. The diminutive, 3-inch cube-shaped music system is said to provide some impressive tunes all by its lonesome, but it can also be paired with another 1Q to provide true stereo sound. Also, thanks to a 3.5mm headphone jack and Bluetooth connectivity, the little guy is sure to work with any number of devices. Naturally, much of the 1Q’s allure is due to its hand-crafted wooden enclosure, which is available in walnut and bamboo varieties. The Vers 1Q has eight days left in its Kickstarter funding phase, but it’s not like the project will need your help across the finish line: it’s already surpassed the goal nine times over. Fortunately for you, this provides an opportunity to snag a 1Q for just $95; when it hits the market in November, the speaker will retail for $120. For even more details, be sure to hit up the PR after the break.

I must say, Croon Audio, an innovator of the Bluetooth home speaker systems has just announced their very first first speaker, where it is aptly known as “The Original” sound system. Not too innovative at all when you think about it, but I guess sometimes something this simple will suffice. Croon Audio claims that The Original sound system boasts of an easy-to-use, one-touch pairing procedure, and it is also extremely easy to connect to Bluetooth devices in an easier manner than ever before. At the very same time, it also paves the way for unmatched wireless sound performance and design.
Through the merging of modern electronics with wood craftsmanship of the highest degree, this particularly compact speaker that measures 10.5”x 8” x 3.5” will be able to forge a seamless balance between contemporary and traditional styles, and this alone will amp up the volume of both style and music sans the clutter of wires. The speaker’s housing is made out of 8mm MDF (Medium-Density fiberboard), where it was specially made out of manufactured wood. This would ensure that VLD (Very Low Distortion) technology will come into play, especially when you listen to music at a high volume.
The Original’s speaker will also come with a couple of 2.5” forward facing Full Range Drivers, where they have been matched to an acoustic amplifier so that 15 watts per channel as well as a clear sounding Class D amp. Thanks to strategically placed isolation cones in a tripod pattern that are located at the bottom corners of the sound system, it will reduce the vibration frequencies while delivering the most stable supporting structure, never mind the kind of surface on which it rests upon.
The Original is capable of reproducing music sans wires from virtually any device that has Bluetooth connectivity, in addition to the 3.5mm connection, turning this into a premium external speaker system for the iPad, Kindle, a notebook, and an electric guitar amongst others. To make sure that The Original complements the company’s sleek, button-less design, users will be able to control the speaker’s functionality thanks to their connected touch screen device.
The Original speaker will feature a stereo Hi-Fi amplifier with integrated Stereo Bluetooth Receiver, and will come in Original Black, White on White, Agent Grey and Lady in Red colors. Depending on your color options, pricing begins from $199.99 and goes all the way to $234.99.
