O Cube Mobispeaker - A Cube for Your Cube

MobiBLU

By: Grahm Skee on February 3, 2006 7:53 PM

As citizens of the US, we really get the short end of the stick when it comes to cool gadgetry. Here is another case in point, the Mobispeaker, a self powered portable speaker. The speaker is a mere one inch by one inch by one inch cube that pugs directly into your MP3 player and is rechargeable by USB. The phono jack also tucks away for easy storage.

The O Cube sells for 22,000 KRW which is roughly 23 USD. However, it is unlikely that we will ever see it for sale with the “$” in front of the price.

Wow. I can't imagine that gets very loud, but it sure is pretty.

Maybe the guy should call it ANYTHING BUT AIR or ANYTHING BUT PLANET EARTH ... it's an intersting psychological study when because something is "popular," there are a group of people who need it, want it but refuse to buy it as some proof of their "intelligence" or taste ... it's hilarious how they are willing to look off any defect (it's really thick and the battery tends to fall out ... but buy it!) of these "other" players but everything about the ipod is a defect ... iPod, it's not proper English!

You have designed a nice site even if all your readers need psychiatric help ...

How does it sound, anyways?

I've been searching around, and I don't think anyone has actually used this thing yet (at least not people that speak English). I'm very interested to know how it performs.

If anyone finds a way to order it, please post it here. I'd love one!

Just wondering, but has anyone besides me seen mobiBlu skins?

I currently have two pink ones, from an eBay seller who's apparently linked to the Korean division. He offered the speakers about a month before they were released official here, which were immediately bought on eBay.

I was hoping if I could get them easier, like, US-side.

Samsung P2

The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.
Toshiba Gigabeat T400

The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.
SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
JAYS q-JAYS

The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
