Bass hits the desktop in Altec Lansing’s new Expressionist Bass Speakers ($150; October 2008). These cone-shaped PC speakers pack a 4-inch long-throw subwoofer into the base of each, with 1.5-inch drivers handling the mids and highs, removing the need for large, typically floor-bound sub enclosures.

Designed by Joonas Saaranen, Reppo II is a hardshell boombox backpack with integrated speakers and high quality digital amplifier.

Just plug in any audio source, strap the whole thing on your back and share your favorite tunes with your friends on the go.
