How cool are these?
Australian brothers Scott and Michael Norrie have created these fantastic speakers made from silicone. Tembo Trunks are the first collapsible earbud speakers designed for the iPod shuffle, iPod nano, and iPod classic (to be used with standard Apple earbuds).
Amplify your tunes.
An ancient method of amplification with a modern twist. Using Horn Acoustics, Tembo Trunks amplify the music from your iPod’s earbuds to 80dB of clarity-enhanced Stereo Sound (3x the sound). The volume from Tembo Trunks is sufficient for lots of situations. Don’t expect to bust an eardrum or feel the ground shake when you’re playing your music – that’s kinda the point. Tembo Trunks are ideal when you want to share music in a casual setting (traveling, camping, beside the bed, in your hotel room, in the office, by the pool etc.).
Virtually indestructible.
Tembo Trunks are 100% Waterproof, Shockproof, and Dustproof. With no moving parts or electronic components to fail on you, Tembo Trunks will keep working whenever and wherever you’re sharing your tunes. Made from high-grade silicone rubber, Tembo Trunks are also light, flexible, stackable, washable and can withstand extreme temperatures (-50°C to +150°C/ -58°F to 302°F) – the perfect travel companion.
Off the grid.
Tembo Trunks don’t use batteries or drain power like external speakers or docking stations. This means that you can play music for longer. By using Tembo Trunks you will get much more battery life from your device than you would from your internal speaker (with the added benefit of amplified, clearer, stereo sound). With no cables, chargers or converters, Tembo Trunks will amplify your music anywhere and anytime (indoors or outdoors). All you need is an iPod / iPhone and the earbuds that came with it.
Sustainable sound.
Tembo Trunks are the speakers that aren’t speakers. Regular speakers, like most other electronic products, are comprised of numerous parts. Often this includes damaging metals, toxins, glues, and batteries. Tembo Trunks are made from one material (100% non oil-based, high-grade silicone rubber), require no assembly and are designed to last. We don’t claim to have designed the greenest product ever, but as far as sustainability goes we believe Tembo Trunks are a better alternative to regular speakers.

Tembo Trunks WILL:
1. Provide amplified stereo sound (up to 80dB; 3 x the sound) with increased clarity for sharing music in casual situations.
2. Never require power, batteries, cables or replacement components. 3. Not break if they are dropped, thrown, buried in dirt, placed in extreme heat, or
submersed in water. 4. Work with any device that accepts Apple’s standard earbuds. 5. Provide a more sustainable method to share music.
Tembo Trunks WILL NOT:
1. Act as a home-stereo system replacement or blast louder music over high volume ambient noise (such as a party, café, restaurant, function, festival, outdoors in wild or noisy weather, outdoors in crowded areas, markets, etc.). Tembo Trunks were never designed for these types of environments. If you need to make a lot of noise, we suggest that you use more conventional powered speakers.
