This speaker, the Music Vortex, didn’t even win first place in the contest it was entered in, making it a loser. Apparently, the judges weren’t impressed with the “brand new music experience” that it promised, nor the little puddle of water in the middle that ripples in response to the deep bass. The knob in the center controls the volume while the blue hue, in all fairness, actually looks pretty nice. Despite its water gimmick, I appreciate its overall look.

All you’d need to do is string a few of these together and you’d be all set for an all-night Futureshock set at “Deep,” the hottest up and coming club in New York.
