Soundbug

Turn any glossy smooth flat surface into a speaker.
Stick it on, crank it up! Turn any glossy smooth flat surface into a speaker with the amazing Soundbug.

 

This product is no longer available for purchase.

 
The Soundbug is a revolutionary portable device alternative to headphones or loudspeakers and connects to your personal stereo player, PC or laptop via the headphone socket. Simply attach the Soundbug to any hard, glossy surface and be amazed by its sound reproduction qualities.

Two soundbugs can even be connected in parallel for great stereo sound. How it all works:

The technology behind the Soundbug incorporates the use of a rare material called Terfenol-D, originally developed by the US military for underwater sonar applications. When stimulated by a magnetic field, Terfenol-D expands and contracts at a very high frequency. As this force sends vibrations to the attached surface, sound is created through a resonation process.

Product Specification

The Soundbug weighs approximately 180 grams and uses 3 x AAA batteries (supplied). It features a three-position switch: Off, Soft and Loud and can be used with any sound device that uses a 3.5mm jack (MP3 player, CD player, personal cassette stereo, minidisc player, PC, laptop etc). When connecting two Soundbug's in parallel for stereo sound, a stereo source is required.

"Sayonara portable speakers. Say hello to the 8-ounce Soundbug, which cranks out as much as 75 decibels from any flat, smooth surface you attach it to...Turn it 90 degrees clockwise to lock it in place and you have a private concert in your cubicle."

"Plug the Soundbug into a music device and attach its sucker base to any hard surface and Bob's your auntie's brother's lover (as they say in Texas) - you've got an instant take-anywhere speaker."

"...measures in at about the size of a computer mouse [and] is certainly a nice and shiny piece of kit."

"The soundbug is a fantastic portable speaker without the speaker, and it really works a top dream treat especially on glass or something thick like a polished table top. It even has a battery saving feature so when there's no sound playing, it turns itself off. OK, it's gimmicky, but it'll get people talking and it offers remarkably good sound quality from something as mundane as a picture frame."

"Imagine a world in which every surface, even the back of your head, could be transformed into a loudspeaker. The Soundbug achieves just that."

"The sound quality achieved by Soundbug is impressive, especially when the device is attached to a thick piece of dense material -- such as a desk."

"...along comes Soundbug and its fantastic. Simply stick a lead from your portable CD, MP3 player, laptop or whatever into the Soundbug and then attach it to a shiny solid surface such as a window or glass picture frame, MDF counter or metal. The Soundbug actually turns it into a speaker. Tell me that isn't the best idea you've heard in ages..."

"The Soundbug from the Japanese maker Olympia is an innovative way of reproducing sound from a range of portable equipment without using a loudspeaker, it's a good gadget for use in small offices, for example..."
