Crystal1

The Crystal1 looks like something out of the future. It features a LED table lamp, a pyramid-shaped speaker, and touch controls. A small tray ejects from the right side of the device, so you can dock your iPhone or iPod. By the way, Lanchiya will be coming out with Bluetooth-enabled models of all of their speakers, so you'll be able to use other devices, such as Android smartphones, with its products.

Crystal2

Is that a UFO? Nah, it's just the Crystal2. This speaker system is very similar to the Crystal and also has the option of lighting up in different colors.
