As convenient as it is to have music and video on things like iPods and cell phones, there are always times when you want some seriously big sound. That's where the Zvox Mini portable speaker ($200) can help. Just attach your MP3 player, laptop, or any other portable, and the Zvox will order up room-filling PhaseCue virtual surround sound via three full-range drivers and a 4 x 6-inch woofer. It runs on AC power, your car's power adapter, or the optional battery ($50). Throw it all in the optional PortaParty CarryBag ($50), which also has room for the battery and your iPod, and you're good to go. Party not included.
