Quirky products company Fred has created the 500 XL, a really cool set of desktop speakers made in the shape of giant iPod earbuds, 500 times the original size.
Sometimes bigger IS really better, especially when it comes to sound. That’s why we took a puny pair of earbuds, put them in Fred’s highly technical Way Big machine, and created 500XL – it’s 500 times the size of the original! How great will these look on your desktop alongside your mp3 player or PC? 500XL includes a built-in amp and 3-way power – it runs on batteries; you can connect it to your PC’s USB port with the supplied cord; or plug it into the wall with a generic power supply (not included). The stand-up, peggable clamshell packaging really makes a statement.

I had this idea in 2005, Fred&Friends knew this and produced 500XL in 2008, I did not receive credit nor payment! http://www.mixko.co.uk
