Thankfully, there's speakers that can keep us surrounded by our favorite sounds no matter where we are from Phorus Wireless Audio, Ultimate Ears, and Flips Audio.

We especially love the Phorus, not only for its stunningly modern look, but also for it's multi-room play capabilities. This powerful, wireless speaker boasts Phorus's most powerful processor, a stellar acoustic performance no matter where you are, and amazing instant compatibility with all your devices.....seriously, if our vacuum cleaner had Bluetooth capabilities, we'd enjoy the chore much more.

Ultimate Ears Greg ‘Craola’ Simkins UE BOOM

No one can deny the connection between music and art and thanks to Ultimate Ears, we can enjoy the distinct connection between the two arts. The makers of the social speaker welcomes its sixth artist-designed UE BOOM mobile speaker, designed by contemporary graffiti artist Greg ‘Craola’ Simkins. This unique artist draws inspiration from his favorite childhood books and cartoons, weaving together pop culture, nature and carnival kitsch, with his unique imagination to capture the uncommon beauty of his pieces. Named The Safe Haven Edition UE BOOM, this offbeat designed portable speaker celebrates the depth and detail in the world of art, by combining the powerful sound from the multi-award-winning UE BOOM with Craola’s vivid.....and quite imaginative designs. His work on this very limited edition UE Boom (only 200 were produced) encourages fans to bring a fresh perspective to their imaginations and express themselves.
“Just like my art inspires people to leave behind the ordinary, the power of UE BOOM allows its listeners to enhance their ordinary by bringing music deeper into whatever they’re doing, no matter where they go,” said Craola. “I love that the Ultimate Ears brand and I both stand for self expression, and I’m honored to share in this adventure of bringing music and imagination to life.”

Flips Audio XB800 Headphones

We know what you're thinking, how can we do a story about speakers and then throw in a pair of headphones? But these are not ordinary headphones, with a flip of the cushion foam earcups, you go from headphones (solo mode) to powerful speakers (social mode). This time around, they have amped (literally) up the music enjoying pleasure, with the introduction of the NEW Flips XB800 (or XB). This powerhouse headset differs from their HD650 in 2 ways: 1) bass resonator delivers a pulse-pounding high definition sound that you don't just hear, you FEEL, and 2) the XB boasts a detachable in-line Mic cord.
Enjoy high quality sound whether you're by yourself, or with a group of friends with Flips Audio's amplified, high definition, pumping sound. It still boasts the removable cord with in-line mic, 3.5mm Jack, approximately 4 hours of music enjoyment time in speaker mode, and unlimited time in headphone mode. When not in use, fold and safely store your adjustable Flips in its hard shell case. The Flips XB800 is available now and retails for $120.00, grab a pair at www.flipsaudio.com.
