“it is like magic” lol your a funny dude, cool speaker though but whats the point if there aint no bass.

I FUCKIN WANT IT!!
i’ve never seen something like that in my country (italy), neither now 2010! do you think i can find it? or i need to order it?

its fucking cool man i want it ~

We can´t hear how good the quality is, because: 1. you´re probably using a crappy low frequency recorder or my speakers don´t produce tinny noises. so send me it and I´ll test it for free. You pay for postage

ya but why no battery if only it had built in battery this thing would be so practical but if it has to be plugged in its not portable

thanks for posting this i couldnt decide to buy it thanx a lot

are they ever going to make a rechargable one? it doesnt need to be wireless, just have a battery. i would definitely buy one if it had a rechargable battery.

yes there is. the nimzy vibro max.

nice

Not magic, Physics

Oh and by the way, I talked to iceTECH guys a cpl weeks ago – they said they will bring a wireless bluetooth model in by this XMas season. Ta-DA! =)))

The only type of surface it would not sound good on is anything soft: pillow, blanket, sofa, etc..

It is awesome on the table, wooden floor, countertop, really anything solid.

In regards to the sound quality, sorry mr.Snob, but IT-20 beats the crap out of most of those battery-operated, or passivley powered from laptops portable speakers. It is they who has to try to catch up with iceKUBE. The degree of bass and treble fine-tuning on this thing is totally outstanding for this class.

yep, you’d think so. =) Lets give them some benefit of the doubt, maybe they will catch up a bit later on this year.

Plenty. It isn’t a particularly new idea.

Well, as someone above suggested, Nikolai Tesla invented a similar device almost 100 years ago, I dunno about that but I do know that such things have been sold as novelty speakers at least since the 80′s (poss due to the advent of the Walkman) and were advertised quite heavily when MP3 players became popular.

It has to vibrate. That is what sound is, vibrations. Put your hand on the driver (y’know, the circular thingy in your speaker) while playing music at a louder volume and feel the way it bounces. It is that which is creating the sound waves which enable you to hear your favourite songs.

That said, this won’t vibrate the table in the way I believe you are wondering. It won’t be noticeable, or at least only barely so.

Seems like such a dopey oversight, not showing us how it sounded on different surfaces.

It does seem to be a great idea but for those of us who really appreciate music (snobs?) for more than a poppy hook or a cute singer with a high dress, I don’t see it being too popular unless it can match high quality portable speakers and/or pro headphones.

And surely the idea is to listen to or share your music while out and about, so to run from an AC adapter rather than batteries seems pretty daft.

You’re ridiculous!

wtf cnet has no review and only one user review, you’d think they’d be on top of awesome shit like this.

!@!@ MUST BUY!@ thx for this vid! ^__^

is there any other such speaker in the market today?

yes, it re-vibrates the sound through the surface. different surfaces indeed make different sound. best on glass, wood or granit.

does the table its on vibrate or anything?

interesting concept. have you ever got a chance to really witness a working one?

Dude, you have no idea how strong the sound is from the iceKUBE. You would need pretty big speakers to match the audio parameters, but not the coolness factor.

And of course you can use headphones, but it is like comparing a bike with a car. Yeah, its cool and fast, but, get 3 people to transport and you are busted.
