Expansion Loudspeakers Wrap the Music Around You

Everyone owns an MP3 player, and most of them require the headphones to be plugged in in order to work, which means only one person can use it at a time (or two…if you share).

The Altec Lansing Expansion Loudspeakers are like one MP3 player, but with four speakers (not headphones, speakers).

The way the Expansion Loudspeakers work is that the central device is connected to a computer source by USB. Assuming that there is music on the computer, the four speakers will the play the music.

What makes this better is that the speakers can be removed from the base with its built-in personal power source and WiFi connection and taken anywhere throughout your home.

The speakers are designed as rings that can be cuffed around anything from your arm to your chair and even a faithful animal.

As long as the connection stays strong, so too will the vibe!
