While the sizzle of summer is officially here, the excitement from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2010 in Las Vegas this past January is still a buzz. Music gadgets are especially popular among consumers of all ages. Tunebug, the creators of the Tunebug Vibe and the Tunebug Shake, has created a great deal of interest among consumers since being introduced at CES 2010. Both the Vibe and the Shake turn just about any flat surface into a sound resonating speaker.
Tunebug's Vibe and Shake generate sound waves that seem to magically make their way through the atoms of the surface on which this nifty gadget sits. A speaker is born from a tabletop, kitchen counter or even your bicycle helmet. The Vibe is billed as a "speaker for music lovers on the go." It weighs approximately 5 ounces and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. Connect it to any mobile device with a 3.5mm audio jack, and you'll be able to listen to music just about anywhere.
If you are intrigued by the idea of the Tunebug Vibe, you're going to love the Shake. The Tunebug Shake takes the portability aspect and adds in a sense of adventure. The Shake is meant to be attached to your helmet – bike, snowboard, whatever – so you can fuel your adrenalin pumping activity with your favorite tunes. Connect it to your portable music player – or music enabled mobile phone – to listen to music wirelessly using Bluetooth technology. It is also possible to listen wired via an audio cable. Just imagine, you can have surround sound built directly into your helmet. There's also a safety element to having the sound resonate from the entire surface of your helmet instead of blocking out every sound around you as with earbuds.
"We are very excited to unveil our Tunebug products using the NXT patented SurfaceSound Technology at CES 2010," says Dick Brown, CEO of Tunebug. "We hope to add an entirely new solution to listening to music while on the go, anytime, anywhere especially for bikers, skateboarders, skiers, and others who until now have not been able to listen to music safely while wearing a helmet."
