Funky speakers for music lovers

Speakers come in all shapes and sizes, and I mean all. Check out these curious speakers sure to please the music lover:

MiniGods: You gotta love these "Givers of Divine Sound" speakers by Victor "Marka27" Quinonez. The design celebrates music, and are inspired by African, Asian, South and Central American ancient art and culture. The 16-inch MiniGods come with a full range speaker and integrated amplifier to bump your music. They are powered by a 9-volt battery, and have a mini-jack connector compatible with most of your gadgets. Tainted Visions sells them for a little over $100.

Headphonies: These mini-speakers are limited edition vinyl style toys created by various artists such as Eran Weinberg and Jeremey "Mad" Madi. As with all designer toys, only 1,000 pieces are made at a time, and come in a cool little box bundled with a USB charging cable, a headphone cable, and set of instructions. The little critters stand about 2.8-inches tall and feature a speaker on the back of head.

Emerson Funkeys Speakers: I'm still trying to figure out what these speakers are supposed to be, but it doesn't matter. Funkeys has a reputation for making cool USB toy drives and I'm sure its speaker line will surely follow. These computer speakers are really affordable at $20, and they're from Funkeys so you can't go wrong with these.

Milk carton speakers: Aren't these milk-carton shaped speakers cute? Yorozu Audio's Sound Resolution speaker kit connects to your iPod then turns any low-density surface into a speaker. Here the empty milk carton becomes the speaker, but that doesn't mean you have to carry it around. The carton is merely a way to illustrate the point, plus it looks super cute because it has painted speakers on the side . It sells for $51, and is powered by AAA batteries.

Leaf-shaped key chain: Here's another Japanese invention, this time spotted over at Akihabara. Bird Electron is selling this cute leaf-shaped key ring with integrated speaker and audio jack for those who want to share their tunes with a friend. The $22 speakers are compatible with most music players, and they're so adorable I wouldn't mind having one.
