Harman announced today the newest addition to the JBL Creature PC speaker line: the Creature III. Fans of the original and Creature II will find the updated martian-mushroom design familiar. The new 2.1 speakers, available for $129.99 exclusively at Apple Stores and Apple’s Web site, come in black or white and feature touch-sensitive controls. The speaker set, which features a more compact subwoofer design than previous models, also “glows” from the bottom, which will do nothing for the sound experience but might somehow enhance your enjoyment of Pink Floyd and Sigur Ros albums.
Another nice added feature: Despite the touch-sensitive volume controls, the Creature III will remember what volume level you used on your previous listen when you power up the speakers, which only sounds like a disadvantage if you were blasting them late at night and then turn them on again first thing in the morning.
Look for a review of the Creature III speakers on PCMag.com in 2010.
