Marc Ecko Spraypaint Can shaped bluetooth speaker announced
If you're aware of Ecko Unlimited, you know they're apt to making clothing that's aimed at the streetwear crowd, tending especially to those who love graffiti - this has translated rather enticingly, it would seem, to the tech and audio world with their new "Spray" bluetooth speaker. This device is essentially the same size as a spraypaint can and brings blasts of audio to you through bluetooth from your mobile device. Though Mizco, the group making this device, has been in the designer-inspired consumer electronics brand now for a year, they've got nothing so strange as this.

XtremeMac Tango TRX Review
The iPod dock by the name of XtremeMac Tango TRX has been out for some time now, having been first announced all the way back in 2010, but it’s no worse for wear with the 2011 holiday season rapidly approaching, and since we’ve never had a look at it before and there’s a brand new bit of functionality now with Google Music out of beta, let’s have a look, shall we? This device comes with several parts – first being the main speaker complete with iPod dock which can house anything from the tiniest iPod to the iPad 2, though I wouldn’t recommend the latter as it does block a bit of the sound blast and isn’t exactly held the most securely in place. Then there’s the bit that makes this whole thing unique: the second docking station, one that allows you to charge the device on one side of the house while the speaker jams music out at the other.
Hidden Radio and Bluetooth Speaker features a simple twist

Ferguson Hill FH009 Review
Ferguson Hill is best known for its monumental FH001 and FH002, towering horns of transparent perspex with a similarly mammoth price tag. The company broached the computer/MP3 speaker market a few years back with the markedly more affordable FH007 system, and is back again with the FH009, aiming this time at the music and home cinema market. The premise is a setup both visually and aurally arresting; the price is a not-inconsiderable £795. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Spar Zephyr Bluetooth speaker takes your calls, charges your device
In the world of tiny yet powerful speakers, there can be no doubt that there's quite a bit of competition when it comes to the right combination of features to make just that perfect hit - and that perfect hit, according to Spar, is charging the device that it uses to shout out the tunes via Bluetooth. So while competing devices have you bumping your tunes out with fabulous sound wirelessly, you'll still have to charge with some extra device or a wall plug if you want to play all day - here that's no trouble.
