Art is not just about inventing but also about reinventing. Ferguson Hill seems to be a proponent of this philosophy as he has created hi-tech speakers that actually look like giant horn-speakers of the by-gone century. It is completely transparent, made as it is out of toughened cast acrylic. Some other parts are made up of stainless steel which lends it a classy touch.

This unique speaker has a range of 150Hz – 20KHz, saves a lot of electricity as it runs at merely five watts, but at the same time does not compromise on the sound quality. Priced at US$18,500, FH001 Horn Speakers from Ferguson Hill will be a dream easy to materialize for most of us!

Hi-fi technical stuffs become great accessories in a modern home decor. And what better than those ubercool speakers that will surely become the reason for your neighbour’s envy! Providing for especially those who can’t settle for anything but the best, a New Zealand-based company called Arvus Loudspeakers has come with an exclusively stylish loudspeakers aptly titled ‘The Prerenaissance’.

The speakers are priced at $140,000 and are available in wood, painted, carbon fiber, and stainless steel finish options. I shall talk about the particular style option I liked the best. In the wooden look, the speakers have a very earthy yet stylish feel around them. If what we hear is correct, then each speaker has hundreds of man hours reflecting in the unmatchable design.

And the sound technology offered is a perfect match for the expensive looks. With 6 channels of amplification, the speakers can make up a total of 3000 watts RMS. Well, what more could one ask for!

To be an inventor is one thing but to be an inventor in style is another thing altogether. In our past blogs, we may have covered hundreds of varieties of head phones but I have never come across an idea as simple and yet innovative as this- wearing the earphone into the hat! With iLogic Sound Hat you can actually replace a hat for the headphone. Who would have thought of this earlier and yet how commonsensical it is!

It has double benefits, first being that you don’t need the messy, always falling out ear phones because it fits snugly to your hear and second, it keeps you warm and in vogue. All that you need is an iPod or a music player to compliment this cap.

Spend a month in the populated urban vicinity (if you haven’t) and you’ll get to see kids driving hard with mobile sound systems singing loud. Really annoying! But if you have spare amount of dough piling with you then this unusual model of DJ mobile car can be yours. Designed and developed by Dutch artist Olaf Mooij, the creation targets the filthy-rich music lovers. Coming from Western Europe, the Dutch novelty has been abridged by an intelligent mind after taking inspiration from ‘God is a DJ’ and the car of our HOLY-POPE and the result is before your eyes.

Embellishing aerodynamics, the mobile DJ art car nicely accommodate two turn-tables together with number of speakers. On first look, I doubt the functionality of the speakers attached on the face of the car and this arouses my curiosity to meet the Dutch national and ask him to untangle the mystery.

For sure, DJ Mobile car is developed using a drivable PA system that allows you to park and then operate from a DJ platform while hosting it from open sunroof.

All set to turn heads and offer a feast to your drowsy eyes, here is a striking DVD player for Terminator enthusiasts. But don’t you think it lacks the Blu-Ray touch? After all being futuristic, it’s mere a DVD player / Terminator head! Well, I feel handicap to share more specks about the Endoskeleton Skull from The Terminator and T2 (finest action movie ever) as there is not enough information available online, like its availability and the demanding price.

All I reckon is that the Terminator head DVD player can not be articulated with and will play until you are dead. Its very installment in your guest room would do the needful value addition.

Unlike ordinary pods, the Ovei Pod aims at enhancing your personal entertainment experience but not all can afford to enjoy the company of this opulence. Against open-room speaker systems, the surround effect and the bass sensations produced via this Pod is matchless (likewise earphones offer better fidelity sounds than speakers). Lately unveiled at CEDIA EXPO 2008 , UK, the pod territory offers you enough room to watch, play and relax. Designed and developed by Lee McCormack and engineered by Mclaren Applied Technologies, each capsule is custom-made and hand made considering the customers’ qualifications.
