Santa Speakers Looking Cute...And Halfway Useless?

What more can you say? They're pretty much useless, but they're cute.

I guess that one has to be really deep into the "X-Mas spirit" to willingly buy some Santa speakers like these. I mean, what's the use, after all, of owning a state of the art portable digital player like a sophisticated iPod or other high-tech, great-sound players and have their content played through speakers that sound halfway like rubbish; and all this just because they look like a snowman or Santa and it's 23rd of December?

If I weren't to judge that harsh, these speakers would make great
gifts especially for kids or for people that will most likely never get to use such gear. Kids are happy with the colorful familiar Christmas shapes and really couldn't care less for the sound quality; these speakers will be great toys that also reproduce sound and that should be enough to ensure great fun. If I were to receive such speakers on Christmas I guess I'd instantly put a smile as broad as heavens on my face...even if for me they're pretty much without a serious trace of use, I must say they look cute!

Will there be a Rudolf version?

These speakers are not only deploying sound but have built-in light that slowly changes between red, green and blue and thus makes no less than seven other colors which are supposed to lighten up your heart during the winter holidays. These X-Mas speakers are battery-operated and a change of batteries is going to provide you with 2-3 hours of musical and color fun.

The Santa version deploys music through its mouth while the snowman version has more openings. I guess there aren't people among you who are that curious as to wonder how powerful these speakers are or what's their frequency range...

No retail pricing info has been released as these speakers are only available for wholesale purchase here. If you plan to include a lot of people on your Christmas gifts list, I guess you could make some wholesale acquisitions, though. These speakers simply can't cost more than a few bucks. My question now is "Where's the Rudolf version?"...Ho-ho-ho!
