Lanchiya's out-of-this world iPhone/iPad speakers (photos)

Lanchiya, a China-based digital audio products company, makes some pretty far-out speakers for iPhones and iPads. Check them out in CNET's hands-on photos.

Bonnie Cha
Bonnie Cha was a former chief correspondent for CNET Crave, covering every kind of tech toy imaginable (with a special obsession for robots and Star Wars-related stuff). When she's not scoping out stories, you can find her checking out live music or surfing in the chilly waters of Northern California.

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.

Aladdin

Functional and funky, the Aladdin works as a table lamp, a speaker system, and a charging station for your iPhone/iPod.

X-1

The X-1 is surely to be a conversation starter at parties. The shape of the speaker system is designed to deliver 360 degrees of sound.

A3IP

The A31P looks like the Pac-Man ghosts, only happier. It has a stereo 2.1-channel system and also features an aux input for MP3 players, laptops, and other devices.

Lanchiya also has a line of speakers called the F3, which stands for Fun Fantastic Fabulous. The A7D is one of the models in the collection and has flower speakers sprouting out of an apple.

A speaker system for your iPad? You bet. The Van Gogh1 offers a 90-degree pivot design so you can dock your iPad in the portrait or landscape position.
