LaCie has unveiled the first speakers to plug into the power of FireWire. LaCie FireWire Speakers are powered by the FireWire bus, eliminating the need for an AC adapter or internal batteries. Unlike speakers that eke by on USB power, the sleek and portable LaCie FireWire Speakers provide rich, room-filling sound.
“LaCie speakers extend the utility of FireWire into a new domain,” said Alexis Kobassian, LaCie Product Manager. ” We designed them to be powerful inside and out, working with Neil Poulton to create a unique aesthetic and style. They’re perfect for anyone who wants impressive sound with a minimum of desk clutter.”
LaCie FireWire Speakers take advantage of FireWire 400’s inherent superiority as an audio connection. Conventional speakers attached to a headphone jack must contend with noise distortion from the circuitry within the computer. USB speakers vie for limited bandwidth and power, having to share the bus with the keyboard, mouse and other peripherals.
These look pretty cool. I wonder how good they really sound.
I think if you can spend a little more, you could find something better (a nice headphone). But for the regular consumer, being on a budget is always a thought.
i perfer harman kardon
not my style.. the colour and texture is good, but the shape… its just not good, I like Long and Thin speakers over this style
yeah if they can come out with a different design..
Don’t like ‘em.
ya, the design is lacking
right! design is bad
I haven’t heard any Harmans before, but Polk Audio does make great speakers (crystal clear quality) and Bose is too over price, maybe wait till next boxing day to grab a pair of speakers.
Lacie is known for its external harddrives that ranges from GBs to TBs. I like how these looks, like a cutout muffler. I should get this.
I liked it because it’s suitable in my small dorm. In tight small spaces, plus its portability and quality.
headphones bose…
I’m sure you would like the information I have….
