Shopping for some new desktop speakers? This month Hercules launched its brand-new Autumn/Winter 2011 collection of multimedia desktop speakers. Consisting of five new models, this stylish new collection comes in at a price point that won't hurt your wallet.

Hercules XPS 2.0 10 & 2.1 20 ARC WHITE

With an entirely new design in the Hercules range, the XPS ARC WHITE speakers feature a streamlined and slightly "arched" shape. They have a white lacquer finish on the back of the satellites, along with a black lacquer metal protective grille. On the audio side, the XPS ARC WHITE speakers include wideband speaker drivers, magnetic shielding, and wooden construction (the subwoofer of the XPS 2.1 20 ARC WHITE system) – resulting in well-balanced sound, so you can get the most out of your MP3s, DVDs or streaming videos.

XPS 2.1 20 ARC WHITE - Composed of 2 satellite speakers, a subwoofer, a wired remote with volume control and a line input to connect an MP3 player or an additional audio source. It will be available in late August 2011 for $34.99.
XPS 2.0 10 ARC WHITE - The 2.0 version of the system described above include a volume control, on/off button and line input located on the left satellite speaker. This model will also be available in late August 2011 for $29.99.

Near-Herculean Sound in a Small Package

It's the curse of MP3 fanatics, home office workers, and road warriors everywhere: All that music to enjoy or presentations to put on, and all you've got are a pair of earbuds or under-powered laptop speakers to play them through.

What if you had a portable speaker system that could lend some volume to your MP3 library, sound to your home-based workspace, or spunk to the audio of a PowerPoint presentation?

The Hercules XPS (Extended Personal Sound) 2.0 35 USB speaker kit (from around $20) delivers. Packaged in a handy and protective carry case just large enough to also hold the average iPod in a case of its own, the USB-powered speakers deliver a mobile audio solution designed to share the sound.

They're intended to be powered by the computer or laptop's USB port. To be sure, these aren't intended to wake the neighbors or draw the police. With total power topping out at 2.5/3 watts RMS, they didn't exactly fill the corporate HQ of Chief Home Officer.com. They were just enough to listen; hardly enough to annoy.Read more

Hercules, the computer DJ and entertainment specialist, is expanding their successful XPS branded multimedia speakers with the NEW XPS 2.150 Multimedia Speaker System. The MSRP for this modern marvel is $69. Talk about a deal that would only be seen on the likes of Woot!

Who did Hercules turn to in order to determine what would be the right product for their expansion of this line? His father, Zeus? No, it was you the consumer! The extensive consumer researches performed delivered a design and finish that coveys a modern sense of style. This modern look and feel is so much more with BIG sound. This speaker system will make for a great Holiday gift for the college student to the executive.
