Growing up in the 70's, I'm used to beanbag chairs that were amorphous blobs of pleather, which any exposed flesh stuck to mercilessly and were too flimsy to give any real support or comfort. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Sumo Sway was substantial enough to provide back support, yet gave enough to make me feel like the chair was molding to my body.

"The Prolimatech Super Mega certainly exceeded my expectations after taking a close look at it and handling it for a while, but I did find the lack of real copper fins a little disheartening, as Prolimatech markets it in a way that would make it seem that they should be solid copper. I suspected this by looking at the color of them, which was a bit of an orange tint and seemed a little unusual for the way copper typically looks. Taking away the copper sections, the Super Mega is nearly identical to its older sister, the Megahalems, but weighs close to 200 grams more."

Aerocool E85M-550 Power Supply Review @ Hardware Secrets

Ultra slim design and elegant style
The Boom Boom Speaker adheres to the style of the Choiix brand, “elegance, life style and ergonomics”. Its 1.2 cm ultra slim design with storable cord is really convenient and lends to portability. The gloss finish of the surface has a clean appearance and an elegant feel to compliment your style. Not only is the form of the Boom Boom Speaker stylish, the speaker lid itself is creatively designed for convenience. The protective speaker lid doubles as a stand when the speaker plays. A standard 3.5 mm audio cable makes it easy to connect to almost any audio device.

High quality sound effect, to share music with friends!
Portable music players, such as MP3, MP4, iPod, cell phones, and iPhone, make it easy for you to enjoy music on the go. Unfortunately the built-in speakers limit the enjoyment to one to maybe two users huddled around it! When you want to share music with a group of friends, there’s nothing you can do. With the Boom Boom Speaker on hand or in the pocket, this difficulty vanishes. As for the sound quality, the Boom Boom Speaker contains four integrated highly-sensitive speakers and an amplifier that provides impressive sound and volume. Just enjoy the music you like and share it with friends wherever and whenever the mood strikes you!

"Light, Slim, and Clear" for business
In most cases, precise video and audio effects make a commercial proposal successful. However, this is only effective if the sound remains free of distortion and maintains an appropriately high volume level. Video conferencing could further complicate things. Thus, a clear sound is essential for these and other related events. The Boom Boom Speaker provides rich and clear sound for your music, movies, and teleconference calls. It will be your best partner in business.

Slim drivers tech application, and outstanding sound with slim size
It’s a market rarity for portable speakers to have both a high volume and a high quality, acceptable sound. Those that do contain these features are often unwieldy and heavy which makes them less than ideal travel companions. The best of both worlds is now offered by Choiix’s brand new product the?Boom Boom Speaker?. It’s a slim size with a light design for consumers’ needs. Since the Boom Boom Speaker utilizes the power provided by laptop USB ports it can come equipped with four slim drivers that are optimally placed to construct a perfect sound experience.
