Connecting a 110V hairdryer to a 230V supply will cause one of several things to happen: 1 It will be damaged and not work 2 It will make a lot of noise, be damaged and not work 3 It will burst into flames, be damaged and not work 4 It will ignite other things around it, be damaged and not work. It is theoretically possible to use a step down transformer to power the hairdryer but the cost of these Transformers is likely to be more than buying a new hairdryer in the UK. Unless you have a 110V supply, don't ever try to connect it to any European mains supply

What is important is that the voltage written on your speakers matches the voltage of the power supply. If you check the manufacturers site or return to the store where you purchased them I am sure they can advise you on the right adapter.
