Sick of rolling out trip-hazard cables just to get music from your desktop PC heard in your backyard? Well, the Logitech Wireless Speaker Z515 is here to make your life a whole lot simpler!

This sleek and compact wireless speaker lets you listen to your music from your laptop or desktop PC with its plug-and-play wireless USB adapter. Alternatively, you can also stream tunes straight from your iPad or iPhone thanks to the speaker’s Bluetooth compatibility. It requires no additional software installs and, in optimal conditions, you can listen to rich, full stereo sound up to 50 feet away from the input source.

Featuring dual two-inch speaker drivers that produce loud and clear music with deep bass, warm mid-range tones, and crisp high notes, the Logitech Wireless USB Speaker Z515 can deliver up to 10 hours of unplugged power thanks to its rechargeable long-life battery. If you ever need longer playback, you can keep the music pumping with its AC power cable too.

The Logitech Wireless Speaker Z515 comes with a soft travel pouch that fits in your laptop bag or backpack, has been rated 4.1 out of 5 stars (from 71 customer reviews), and it’s available with FREE shipping at Amazon.com for the special price of $59.99.

Laptops are great, aren’t they? You can travel pretty much anywhere and take your work with you; you can log in to YouTube and watch some funny videos while you’re sitting in the dentist’s waiting room; and you can go out on a sunny day, sit on a park bench all by yourself, and play solitaire ’til your battery runs out (if you feel like it).

But let’s face it, most laptops have crappy built-in speakers! If you ever felt like sharing one of your favorite songs with your friends, you’d only embarrass yourself instead of getting some more heads to bop along with the beat. That’s where the Logitech USB Laptop Speaker Z305 comes in!

This lightweight, portable speaker attaches to virtually any laptop thanks to its easy clip-on design. It features 360-degree sound that projects evenly in all directions — delivering a more immersive listening experience and making your music sound full and clear, regardless of where you go in the room.

The Logitech USB Laptop Speaker Z305 is Windows and Mac compatible and requires no additional software or AC power supply; a single USB connection provides the speaker with digital audio AND power. This same USB cord can be stored neatly into the back of the speaker when not in use thanks to the built-in cable storage.

Including a soft protective case and currently rated 4.5 out of 5 stars from 157 customer reviews at Amazon.com, the Logitech USB Laptop Speaker Z305 is available now with FREE shipping for $39.99.

MP3 players are great. They let you take your music anywhere you go. But there’s only one problem…what happens when someone else wants to listen in? And what if all your friends want to hear? There’s not enough earbuds for all of them! Are you going to make them take turns? Of course not! And with the X-mini Capsule Speaker, you won’t have to!

Despite its diminutive size (only 52mm in diameter) and with a weight of just 52 grams, the X-mini Capsule Speaker produces a rich, loud, and strong sound — providing a big volume boost on-the-go. And when the capsule is opened and the speaker is extended, the X-mini’s resonance chamber opens — increasing the speaker’s bass response even higher.

The X-mini Capsule Speaker comes in a matte black finish, is rechargeable via USB and can run for up to eight hours on a full charge. It includes a USB charging cable and a felt bag and is available now from ThinkGeek for only $29.99.
