Hype Portable Skull Print Speakers

What delivers the music to the audience. Speakers. While some speakers are Metal by their history and association (think Marshall), most are not. This is due to the manufacturers trying to branch out to other forms of music, and the necessity of catering to the outsiders has led to their dismissal from the Halls of Metal.

Every once in a while, there comes speakers that rise to the call of Metal and provide the music while looking \m/ HEAVY \m/, and Hype is one of those companies that answered the Steel-clad calling.




The door to the backstage area.



The speakers came with the auxiliary cable, USB cable, but no batteries (a minor default considering everything).


A handle for those grab and go situations Metalheads need, like running away from the Assistant Principal when they are suppose to be in class.


The pissed-off skulls are angry about something, maybe their haircut? The one in the middle is legitimately pissed as a bullet hole is emblazoned on his forehead. Maybe a "walker" in a before-life? The tribal fires are okay, but the fact that tribal tattoos have been out of fashion (not Metal fashion) since the late 90's takes away some points from the speakers. Also, they took the easy way out by having all 4 sides the same, that's why you don't see all 4 sides, only 3.


The door to the backstage area is wide open.



I decided to give the speakers the ultimate test by going with the battery option, since being portable means the necessity of the chord is snipped.


The "over the balcony shot", to make things fancy and concert-like.


It's time to see what this speaker can do, and the only way to do it is by pushing the play button.


Overall, a great versatile speaker with good sound that really delivers our music with a sense of fashion.
