Fred 500XL Speakers: Unconventional iPod Earphones

For years Apple has had a huge impact on millions of people all over the globe. Its style of simplicity and sharpness strongly influenced the way some new products are designed and produced.

Fred & Friends is one of the companies that also have been inspired by Apple. They’ve created speakers in the shape of giant iPod earbuds. To be more precise they are 500 times the original iPod headphones size. The earphones’ measures are: 8.75 inches wide x 9.5 inches tall x 4.5 inches in diameter. Looks cool!

Fred 500XL speakers definitely astonish by their design and create a humorous effect. You can’t help trying the earbuds on to feel like a midget in the country of giants.

500XL provides good sound and can be used for a desktop PC and with almost any music source around you:

iPod or other MP3 player
gaming console or PSP
CD/DVD player
cell phone

The 500XL speakers are connected to the devices with a 3.5mm audio jack and feature a built-in amplifier and 3-way power. The system also includes a 3.5mm audio input cable and a USB power cable. The gadget can be powered by USB or by three AAA batteries if you want to drag the earphones around with you. 500XL stands up by itself thanks to the back of each earbud.

The system looks great on a desk at home or work and can evoke a smile and wide response among family, friends or coworkers. Besides 500XL can be a perfect gift for fans of Apple and/or design.

Fred 500XL speakers run at about $50 for Buy It Now on eBay, but there are deals with some auctions from time to time. Amazon has a better price for the system -- about $40.
