The name “banshee” may conjure up screaming wraiths swirling above frightened villagers, but the Banshee portable speaker is much less alarming. This compact speaker system, a 16-inch package that looks like an alien egg sac, can simulate surround-sound audio. The Banshee has five 10-watt speakers and a sparse control panel with a power switch and two volume buttons. The set works with any audio player that has a 1/8-inch headphone jack, including the iPod and Creative Technology MP3 players. A short cable, included, hooks up to the player and sends audio to the Banshee. The $149 set, which comes in black or white, also includes a small stand for MP3 players. The speakers tended to distort at higher volume, but the audio was generally crisp and clear, with a hint of surround sound even when playing standard stereo music. The Banshee won’t replace a spirit howling at your window, but it does a good job of reproducing a bit of heavy metal or classic Wagner.
