HONG KONG, China – Father’s Day and graduation time are just around the corner, and this year, Edifier offers the perfect gifts for hard-working dads and soon-to-be grads. Edifier’s Breathe is an all-in-one music system that combines stunning design with outstanding sound, and the Sound To Go USB Micro Speaker is ultra-compact, yet delivers expansive sound for laptops and other devices.

Breathe (SRP: $349.99) brings a breath of fresh air into iPod music system design. Its curved and contoured surfaces and striking two-tone black and white finish make it ideal for use at home, in a dorm or anywhere your dad or grad wants to enjoy great sound. Breathe is simple to use – its built-in iPod/iPhone dock rests atop the unit for easy access, and the supplied adapters accept any iPod or iPhone with a docking connector. The wireless remote operates the control and navigation of the connected iPod or iPhone, as well as the Breathe’s functions (which can also be operated by the front-panel controls).

Although compact, Breathe delivers clear, powerful sound, thanks to its built-in 100-watt amplifier, 5-inch woofer and dual midrange/tweeter coaxial drivers. When an iPhone is connected, the music will be automatically muted and the call put through, and Breathe will resume playback when the call is completed. Breathe also has an auxiliary input, enabling it to be used with a portable music player or virtually any device with an audio output.

Any dad or grad with a laptop will appreciate the benefits of Edifier’s Sound To Go USB Micro Speaker, which adds high-quality sound to any laptop by means of a simple USB connection (a USB cable is included). The sleek, wedge shaped Sound To Go (SRP: $49.99) has a rich, brushed-aluminum finish accented by its black front grille and side pieces.

Though it measures just 10-1/2″ by 1-1/2″ by 1-3/4″ and fits easily into a laptop bag, Sound To Go delivers expansive stereo sound, thanks to its built-in amplifier with volume control, high-quality drivers and dual subwoofers. Sound To Go also has an auxiliary input, enabling it to be used with a portable music player or other device.
