Let’s stay on the tiny gadgets topic with the brand new Grandmax Pull-n-Play Tweakers – a pair of portable mini speakers that show “sound can come in small packages”.

The design and the way they work is quite similar to the USB Spring Speaker.

Give it a twist and the top portion expands, giving you extra air space which brings out the bass. You’d have to hear it to believe it. For speakers this size, it sure packs a punch.

With built in lithium batteries, you can have hours and hours of listening. And with the built-in retractable audio and charge cables, there are no extra cables to bring around and no cable mess. When you need to charge your tweakers, just pull the charge cable out, and connect it to a mini USB, or use the included USB charge adapter to connect to a USB port. The speakers come in dual speaker configuration with stereo sound. They come in crimson red and black.

The Grandmax Pull-n-Play Tweakers mini speakers are available for $44.95.

These stylish crystal USB desktop speakers are described by ThinkGeek as the “smallest audiophile performance stereo USB speakers available for PCs and Notebooks” – a description which comes with this simple explanation:

Each of the speakers is rated at 1 Watt per channel and are compatible with USB 2.0. The acoustically engineered technology is designed to direct sound waves towards an adjacent chamber. As the high frequency sound waves are shorter than the length of the chamber, the phase difference between the in-coming sound wave and the speaker driver diaphragm approaches 0 degrees (in phase). This allows the driver to respond more rapidly to the higher range shorter signals.

Conversely, as the wavelength of the base notes is much longer than the chamber, the phase difference approaches 180 degrees (out of phase). And as the diaphragm is ‘dampened’ for the base notes, it delivers a more pronounced low to mid range sound and thereby improve the cohesive audio experience.

Features

• Small USB speakers that produce quality audio output
• Rated at 1 Watt per channel
• USB 2.0 compatible
• USB HID spec. v.1.11
• Compatible with Windows98SE/ME/2000/XP and Mac 9.x (no drivers required)
• Dimensions: 1.6″ x 2.1″ x 3.5″ (4 x 5.4 x 9cm)

A pair of Crystal USB Desktop Speakers will be yours for $39.99.
