Perhaps your fine-tuned ears are too sensitive to the slightest jingle in treble or rumble in bass, thereby further complicating your already discerning hunt for the perfect set of speakers. Or maybe you couldn't care less about sound and just like weird-looking stuff that burps out music from your computer or MP3 player. If you're the latter, have we got some strange speakers for you.
 

TANGLE DNA SPEAKERS
($39.99 at thinkgeek.com)
Take an iPod-like aesthetic and throw in something that favors genetic material (or sperm by the looks of it) and you have Tangle DNA Speakers, bendable audio that's powered by batteries, AC or USB.

ANGEL SPEAKERS
($10 each at ipod.brando.com.hk)
If puffy-skirted people with pageboy haircuts are your idea of angels, you're in luck with these USB-powered speakers. Then again, what's in a name?

AT-DSP190 COLUMINO DIGITAL POWERED SPEAKERS
($199 at audiocubes.com)
Traditional boxy speakers? Please. What you need are some dangling cone-shaped beauties that aim down to spread sound throughout a room. And look like futuristic toilet brushes.
