The latest development in speakers from the sound-quality experts at Waterfall Audio are like none you've ever seen before. There are no crazy or cutesy shapes like Lego or Sanrio characters, and no three-in-one capabilities like reading lights, alarm clocks or microwaves. In fact, the Serio Glass Speakers are innovative and stylish because of their minimalism -- small, square, flat, and therefore widely versatile, these speakers can be mounted on the wall, sit discreetly on your desk or shelf, or perch atop their optional floor stand. They come in black, white, or silver, but in case you want to take their sleek little design up a notch, they also come with optional color grills for anyone who thinks they're just too cute to stay camouflaged!
Price: 179.00 GBP
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Serio Glass Speakers to the Hive.
The Hottest Headphones To Help You Tune Out In Style

Confession: I'm a girl who practically has her mp3 player permanently wired to her eardrums. In fact, I've been known to skip class whenever my iPod was too low on battery to survive the walk (though I don't condone such naughty behavior). As a result, I know all about the importance of a nice, stylish pair of headphones. So what if you're in the market for a new pair but just don't have $300 to spring for those fancy-schmancy Dr. Dre ones? Luckily for us audiophile fashionistas, over-the-ear headphones and the more discreet in-ear earbuds are becoming more and more prominent in their use as fashion statements with their sleek designs and wild colors and embellishments, and they still provide excellent sound quality without costing a small fortune. Go big and bold with a cushy neon pair like Aerial 7's Matadors or keep it sleek with a subtly funky pair of earbuds by Elecom. Check the slideshow for a selection of headphones so hip, you might start wearing them around your neck just to coordinate with your sneakers!
