Remember a few years back when Apple released its own iPod speaker as a "one more thing," and people called it too big and costly? Multiply that by fifty with the iNuke Boom, a ridiculously huge $30,000 gimmick product that Behringer is using to draw attention to its other projects at this week's Consumer Electronics Show. Hear that sound? It's the sound of a 700-pound, 10,000-watt paperweight.

The small WOWee vs. the HUGE iNuke

The Mobile Excellence Awards took place in Los Angeles on December 5th. The award for the Best Mobile Product in 2011 was the WOWee ONE Slim.

WTF is the WOWee ONE Slim?

It's a compact, portable speaker made by WOWee ONE. It weighs a whopping 120 grams (0.26 lbs). According to the company site, the WOWee ONE Slim "produces an incredible bass sound with a 40Hz - 20kHz sound range." It's small enough to fit in your pocket and costs about $117 on Sears.com.

By contrast, there's the iNuke Boom...

This bad boy is 700 lbs of speaker. It costs $30,000 and blasts 10,000 watts of power—The WOWee ONE Slim only produces two watts of power. It's also eight feet long by four feet high. Here's a picture of the iNuke Boom:

And here's a diagram so you can compare the sizes of these two speakers with a six-foot-tall person:
