Fake Vacuum Tube Computer Speakers

$25 fake vacuum tube amplifier computer speakers are designed to impress, but all show - no go

Created by Japan’s Hanwha, the fake vacuum tube look-alike is just a speaker that plugs into the USB port and audio jack on your computer, with the tubes lighting up blue when powered on.

Now don’t expect tube-amp quality sound from this thing – it only cranks out an anemic 0.35W per channel, and frequency range is spec’d at just 100Hz to 10kHz. Costs about $25.
