You may remember these speakers from the New Stuff section in the magazine a few weeks ago. So new were the Maestro speakers that they've actually only just came into the country last week!

The lovely staff at Cygnett sent ZOO Man the very first pair of speakers to hit Australia to test out over the weekend, and test he did. With a massive house party planned we were sceptical as to wether such a small speaker box could create enough wattage to satisfy our loud rock cravings, but the Maestro speakers blew us away. Hell they were even louder than my actual house stereo - which has now been retired to the back shed.

The Cygnett Maestro speakers are so small you can move them from room-to-room with no hassle what so ever, the dock has size plates so no matter what iPod or iPhone you have you're sorted, but the most impressive thing about these speakers is the fact that it can be run off of mains power or by plugging in 4x AA batteries. Like most battery powered speakers we were expecting the speakers to fade after an hour of loud volume, but the speakers and batteries lasted out the whole long weekend and haven't dropped in quality what so ever.

These have to be the most portable, loudest, most affordable, coolest mp3 speakers on the market. They're easily the loudest/best portable speakers we've ever come across.
