Angry Bird Speakers

 

Millions of people love to play Angry Birds. Well, now you can listen to the Angry Birds sing (or maybe that should be squawk) with these new Angry Bird Speakers. For all those Angry Birds fans out there, these Angry Birds Speakers are a cool way to listen to your favorite music. Just plug these speakers into your favorite device (iPhones, iPods, iPads, MP3 Players, notebook computers, etc.) and enjoy the music audio.

There are actually three different versions of the Angry Birds Speakers. They don’t all work with the same range of devices so be careful and make sure you choose the right one.

Angry Birds Speakers Come In Three Different Versions

• Red Bird: Compatible with anything you can plug a 3.5 mm jack into. That’s just about any music player, any phone, any tablet, and any gaming system. If you can plug headphones into it will work with the Red Bird speakers. The included stand will hold up most devices, but isn’t necessary for the function of Red Bird as a speaker.  ($64.99 at ThinkGeek)

• Black Bird: Compatible with iPod, iPad, and iPhone only (specific models below in specifications). You can dock your iPod, iPad and iPhone device on the included stand and the Black Bird will amplify and play your music. ($84.99 at ThinkGeek)

Hercules is renowned as the market leader and a major pioneer for digital DJ controllers. And yes, this is the same Hercules you may remember as the graphics card manufacturer. Most people who are enamoured of music would, like to own a high quality speaker system for their desktop computer. The Hercules XPS 2.0 60 DJ Club Speakers are great solution for your computer system. They would definitely enjoy a pair of these compact satellite computer speakers designed with the latest innovation and technology.

The Hercules XPS 2.0 60 DJ club speakers provide and ample 30 watts of audio power and definitely pack plenty of sound. The XPS 60 speaker design is a two-driver audio system without a separate sub-woofer. The bass is generated by a port at the rear of each speaker when positioned near a wall. The bass more than good, but we wouldn’t rate it as great if you are after a really exaggerated low end. If you need great bass, you might prefer a true 3-driver system that comes with a separate sub-woofer.

The DJ Club Speakers come with an attractive lacquered black and matte finish that should suit almost everyone’s style. The trendy and innovative speakers are constructed with a metal grille to protect the main driver. For an added convenience, all the connectivity features and controls such as volume and tone adjustments are provided on the speaker’s front face for easy access.

As a great additional feature, to feature the advanced range of connection, the Hercules XPS 2.0 60 DJ Club speakers are designed with an auxiliary input to connect to an MP3 player or other compatible portable media players as well as a standard headphone connector. Again, all connections are conveniently provided on the speaker’s front face.
