If you find your Apple iPod earbuds not good enough, check out the new iPod-inspired speakers called 500XL Desktop Speakers. Well, the makers sure believe in the adage, bigger is better’ because these speakers are 500 times bigger than the average earphones. So, you can be sure about the extra punch!

These so-called earbuds are compatible with your PC, PMP, CD and MP3 player. Since it comes with a 3.5 mm audio input cable, a USB DC power cable and a built-in amp, the speaker system can be used with a variety of gadgets. By the way, it can be powered either by the included USB cable or three AAA batteries. We guess you can also plug it into the wall to a generic power supply.

The speakers measure approximately 7″ long x 4″ in diameter. We recommend the 500XL Desktop Speakers as a good New Year gift for that geeky buddy of yours. Or you might just want to jazz up your room with these cool looking speakers. After all, the stand-up, peggable clamshell packaging really makes a statement though some of you might miss the actual use of earbud speakers.
