I would be tempted but for the Binatone logo which brings back memories of cheap and nasty.  A bit like my 2009 Ford Fiesta which has probably long since gone to the scrap heap.   :D

I can hardly believe Binatone are still going.  Just shows there's a market for cheap throwaway tat.

I seem to remember that Binatone is an Amstrad brand nowadays.

Didn't they make those ping pong games that could be played on the telly?  I remember buying a £2 pair of Binatone speakers for a desktop some years ago and I still feel hurt that Simon mocked me for buying them.   ;D
