Do you ever feel like your self-indulgent tendencies often plunge you into a dark and strange world of non-social music listening? You know it’s happening when you constantly find yourself, headphones fixed nicely, listening to a range of usually not so socially acceptable tunes. Maybe it’s Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Shania Twain or a continuous loop of Sisqo’s Thong Song. Stop doing it to yourself.

Melbourne-based company Junk Case should be seen as your lifeline; producers of the product that could ultimately save you from a lifelong sentence of sneakily mail ordering Katy Perry releases so as not to be caught in such a terrible act. Revamping vintage suitcases and fitting them out with a killer sound set up, Junk Case speakers are totally portable and work with any modern device. Music is always better when shared with others. Just remember not to put your iPod on shuffle if you still insist on the Sisqo.

Even though it’s compact in size, the Logitech UE Mobile Boombox knows how to make an impression. Feeling exceptionally light, I decided to weigh the Boombox in and it tipped the scales at a tiny 300 grams. With a battery life of 10 hours, the quality of sound it provides across a range of musical genres is exceptional for it’s size (we ran everything from Sonic Youth to City and Colour through it). Like the big brother (the Logitech UE Boombox) the Bluetooth connectivity lets the office DJs control the sound from a range of devices.

The feature that really impressed us all was the ability of the Boombox to double as a speakerphone. The sound it produces is crystal clear and the compactness of the device has completely changed our conference calls with our Sydney office. Instead of all having to hover around a phone we can now chuck the Boombox to each other while still being able to hear exactly what’s going on even if we’re on the other side of the office.

The Boombox feels great in hand; a beautifully textured speaker grill, indented buttons and a grippy exterior that makes the Boombox stick on and stay with you wherever you decide to place it…

Being a creative business and having music playing all day, we’ve decided that an extremely favourable addition to our Newcastle office is Logitech’s new UE Boombox. [We're giving one away, enter now!]

The compact yet powerful device is absolutely perfect for our space; allowing up to eight different Bluetooth devices to connect to it, with three connected at the same time. That means that we all share music from our smartphones and tablets, making for some fun rounds of playing DJ… That is until someone decides to put on Celine Dion, in which case they get the next coffee run!

The Boombox has six hours of battery life, and the sound it emits is clear, rich and balanced. In fact, the sound is more than that. It’s amazing; deep and strong bass, rich and precise midtones and clear and ethereal highs. This thing just gets the sound right on everything from soft and subtle acoustic tunes to full on rave tracks.

One final thing to note is the unboxing experience, which is on par with the creator of the ‘unboxing experience’, Apple. The product is refined, elegant and well designed. And this flows from the product right through to the packaging.

Kohler just released a new product that allows users to be showered in music. The Moxie shower head features a waterproof Bluetooth speaker and attaches to the center of the shower head via magnet. This rechargeable shower head is the first of its kind to combine a best-in-class shower head with a high-quality music experience. Because, really, who doesn’t love singing in the shower?

So you have an awesome MP3 collection. Who cares if no one’s dancing to it. Well, with Shimi, you have a dancing buddy no matter what tune is spinning. This is ‘a real robot with artificial intelligence that analyzes music it plays through his speaker-ears and generates real-time unique dance moves to bring the music to life in a fun, cute way’. What’s more: ‘Shimi will always know where you are in the room and point the speakers to you’. Yup. Their Kickstarter is up to $33,000 raised, but they have a long way to go still until they meet their target of $120,000. If you can’t live without a dancing robot companion, pledge now and get this thing built.

We’ve seen audio speakers in suitcases, not too long ago, and now there are audio speakers handmade from PVC pipes. Hmmm, I wonder what’s next?

Dutch audio accessory company Thodio has a sweet line of MP3 speakers built into antique ammunition boxes. The punk rock teenager in me would get this in a second if not for the $339 price tag.
