Pelosi is better in the fight than she is in charge, a more able warrior than lawmaker.

Win our Jambox speaker, beginning with a launch party at our NYC pop up When the Jawbone team stopped by Cool Hunting a few weeks back to show us their Bluetooth-compatible portable speaker—dubbed the Jambox—naturally we had initial reservations about just how powerful the tiny speaker system could really be. After a few listens, and learning more about how its clever technology is perfectly geared to seamlessly move from conference room to coffee table, we were hooked. So much so that we asked the designers ( Yves B

Create personal surround sound with an action-sports-friendly speaker Spotted at CES 2010 and now finally available for purchase, Tunebug’s Shake is a portable “sound generator” that turns any bike or snowboard helmet into a mobile speaker system. With touch-sensitive controls and Bluetooth wireless compatibility, the Shake takes both the hassle and danger out of wearing earbuds with cords connected to an mp3 player. By simply placing two fingers on the control, the water-resistant Shake powers on emitting a decent amount of volume for personal surround sound. The Shake also works when not in action or wirelessly connected, performing as a standard speaker by hooking up to iPods and mobile phones. Now available online, the Shake sells for $100 from Tunebug or at select Apple stores .

Our favorite multi-room A/V system’s new dock for drop-in music streaming With their new Wireless Dock for iPod and iPhone, the Sonos system (which allows users to broadcast music from computers, the Internet, or any attached storage device wirelessly and throughout multiple rooms) has grown even more useful. Simply place the device in the dock and music will begin playing in whichever zone has been set as your default, making it easy to play visitors’ music or allowing a smooth transition between in-ear listening and in-home enjoyment of your personal soundtrack. I’ve been testing Sonos’ wireless dock for the last couple weeks and am pleased with its simplicity. The beauty is that it transfers whatever you’re playing—files from your device, Last.fm, Pandora, or any other streaming program—to your home system. And unlike most docks, Sonos plays music digitally rather than converting files to analog, meaning that quality will never be comprised. Buy the wireless dock on Sonos’ website and check out Cool Hunting’s other Sonos favorites here .

The streamlined beauty of Jawbone’s palm-sized wireless speaker Whether at business meetings or just for showing off to friends, it’s rare to see the kind of excitement generated as when we recently demoed Aliph’s new Jawbone Jambox, a portable Bluetooth speaker and speakerphone.

Collapsible speakers pack hi-fi sound in an ultra-portable body Many portable speakers do little more in the way of design modifications than shrink a full-size speaker to a smaller, tinny version. The ultra-portable X-Mini Capsule Speaker , while still tiny, adds an expandable woofer that boasts immense sound for its size. Twisting the speaker opens an accordion-like patented bass enhancement to create even bigger resonance. A Red Dot award-winner, the speakers plug into laptops, mobile phones, gaming devices, and even link to each other for an on-the-go surround sound solution. We’ve been using an X-Mini at CH headquarters and at presentations, and it’s impressed us all with its booming sound. For an all-in-one device, the newest addition to the range, Happy , features a built-in SD/SDHC card slot so that you can play music on it. Rechargable through a USB cable, the super-useful range of five X-Mini speakers sell online for $20-80, depending on type.

Introducing high-tech audio in a compact speaker designed for live-work lifestyles With sci-fi looks (Battlestar Galactica fans might compare it to a Cylon) and sound design to match, the Audyssey Audio Dock reinvents standard dock set-ups, introducing a bold form factor and better acoustics. The system is the first consumer product from Audyssey, a Southern California company specializing in high-end audio solutions that you might’ve experienced in a Jaguar, home theater or while watching a Sanyo TV. Their proprietary technology delivers accurate sound in a compact body, which means that in this new dock (which they call the South of Market Edition) the group of two four-inch woofers and two 3/4-inch tweeters pack a punch. Five different programs based on psychoacoustics and other research work together to make music sound rich or—if you’re using it for Skype or to make phone calls—voices sound clear. Features designed for our wired world include Bluetooth capabilities for streaming music to the speakers, along with the 30-pin dock, mini jacks, built-in microphones (for speakerphone use) and a USB port. A remote controls all the features, with only one play/pause button keeping the dock itself simple. The SoMA comes out this November, but the young company plans to work with the designers at Ammunition on future consumer products.
