Funky Bluetooth speakers

Phoniture

I've let my phone lounge in Phoniture, and I have to say there's something really special about seeing your mobile relaxing in its own chair and ottoman (where the speaker resides). The only drawback is that the sound is pretty thin (the speaker lacks bass). Nevertheless a lot of people will like the novelty of the whole set-up, which is available in blue, black, or red.

Price: $99

Boom Swimmer

If you're looking for a speaker that looks like a key component in the reproductive process (and I don't mean sound reproduction), look no farther (or is it father?) than the Boom Swimmer. As its name implies, it's waterproof. It sounds a little thin, but it plays louder than you'd think for such a small speaker with a flexible tail. Available in multiple colors.

Price: $59
/> See more info and pricing for the Boom Swimmer.

Boombotix Boombot2+

It may be inspired by Japanese urban vinyl toys, but Boombotix's Boombot2+ may also give more mature readers a flashback to the TV show, "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters" (1973-75).
