SoundPads the stick-on speakers

Joe — 2008-07-30 18:20:22

This is a great idea, stick a speaker on any surface you like. These SoundPads will stick to your wall, posters, bookshelves, the ground, wherever you need them to stick. Each time you switch the location/surface it will give a different sound. It's a perfect solution to put your music where you want it. The only disadvantage is that when it's stuck, it stays there. It would have been better if we could just stick it in the kitchen when we're cooking and then peal it off and stick it on our living room wall. Unfortunately that does not work, so maybe that's a good idea for a future enhancement. Priced at $18 a piece it's cheap enough to buy a few, maybe 2 for each room in your house? More info here.
