O Cube Mobispeaker - A Cube for Your Cube

o-cube-mobispeaker.jpg

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 ...

Bub on February 4, 2006 4:15 AM

wow. are you offering to pay for the help?

Cameron Deyhle on February 4, 2006 11:57 PM

a rechargable baby speaker system? I would buy that.

How does it sound, anyways?

WesFX on February 9, 2006 7:15 PM

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.

Broagy on March 2, 2006 10:39 PM

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.

Is this speaker available anymore, anywhere? I can't seem to find any.

Cool site. Thanks.

@rbelkin I don't refuse to buy an ipod because it is popular. I don't like that my mp3's have to go through itunes. I shouldn't be forced to install software to put files on any player. Also, I will never buy itunes DRM ridden music.
Itunes and ipod are good for a common users that don't need to think about how to get music on their player and are only using standard music formats, no .oog files. If you don't know what an .oog file is then don't bash people here, your the ignorant one. Stay on your iTunes site with your DRM music.

  • SanDisk Sansa Clip
    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.

  • Samsung P3
    Samsung P2

    The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

  • Microsoft Zune 120
    Samsung P2

    Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune- sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of editor’s choice. The best part of the Zune is the constant firmware and software updates virtually giving you a new device at each major refresh. You can check out the latest Zune 120 & 16 review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest.

  • Cowon iAudio D2
    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.

  • Phonak Audéo PFE
    Phonak PFE

    Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely. Check out our review.
