The creation of brothers Scott and Mike Norrie, the horn speakers are said to have been born out of frustration in not having an external iPod speaker that was small and light enough to travel with them. The Tembo Trunks don’t require their own power source. The earbuds that come with an iPhone/iPod are secured to the bud holder which will no doubt also take most bog standard earbud type phones though not the ear-canal kind and the sound from the tiny drivers inside the phones is amplified as it travels through the horn. The Tembo Trunks are made from waterproof/washable silicone rubber, are light and flexible, and are also stackable for storage. They fold in on themselves when not in use and can be popped out when needed. The Tembo Trunks project is currently doing well on the Kickstarter funding platform and looks set to go into production, at which time the Norries say that four color options will be available. They’re expected to retail for US$39. For more information visit the link below. ( By Paul Ridden from gizmag.com ) For more information visit the link below.
