Boombox Constructed of Cardboard
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Music, Portable Audio / Video
If you can fold, you can save some money on this Mini Cardboard Boombox. The retro-looking dock comes flat packed, includes working amplified speakers, and is compatible with iPod and other MP3 players. It runs on 2 included AA batteries and may fool fellow workmates into believing that you too have a macho power system, provided they don’t look too closely or light a match near it. The Boombox is due out the end of this month for about $40.00.

The LEGO iPod Dock. Seriously!
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Misc. Tech, Mods / Hacks, Portable Audio / Video, USB
LEGO is that rare toy that’s still huge with kids on a totally fun level, and huge with their parents on a totally retro level, witness the LEGO USB drive. Now LEGO has reached the pinnacle of adoration by being transformed into an iPod dock with speakers! What’s interesting is that the dock doesn’t need external power, so you can use it virtually anywhere, just don’t expect ear-shattering volume. Cute. Fun. Retro. Available for approx. $16 USD.

Headless Pups House Sound
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Design, Music
You can think of this either as a throwback to the old RCA mascot or as a work of art. Two porcelain dogs contain a co-axial speaker system. Designed by Buro Vormkrijgers, the Woofers (pun intended,) are each 20 x 11.5 x 17-inches and made of polyester. Available in black or white, they will deliver 60 to 180 watt RMS with 4 ohm impedance and can be yours for $900.00 for the pair, if you really want a pair of decapitated canines hanging around the house.

iPhone Speakers Provided by Logic3
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Apple, Handhelds, Music, Portable Audio / Video
Logic3 has come up with what they claim to be the iPhone’s first speaker system. In black gloss with silver trim, the i-Station Traveller measures 170 mm across, has a 4 watt output, and 35 mm neodymium drivers. It works with your phone vertically and horizontally, and comes with adapter and four AAA batteries. The speakers will be available for £29.99 (~$59.40) through retailers or Logic3’s online store. Because the i-Station is compatible with other media players through its 3.5 mm jack, it begs the question, which came first, the iPhone or the i-Station?

Velocity 2Go Wherever You Want
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Home Entertainment, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Transportation
This may look like your average boombox, but the Blaupunkt Velocity 2Go 6 is actually a 160 W maximum power subwoofer for traveling from your home or car’s sound system to any other destination that needs a bit of audio pumping up. With a frequency response of 40 to 120 Hz/ 40 to 25.000 Hz and RCA/high-level/3.5 mm auxiliary inputs, it will run on a 12 V/230 V or 8 AA rechargeable batteries (not included.) At a size of 480 x 220 x 240 mm and a weight of 7 kg, if the price of $619.99 seems a bit steep, there is also a Velocity 2Go 5 model available for $514.99.

Bumblebee Transforms Your Tunes
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Misc. Tech, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Toys
No sooner do we tell you about an MP3 player, dock, and earbuds made into Transformers than Brando lets us know that they now have a Transformer Speaker for your iPod or MP3 player. Bumblebee mixes beats with your music and will even light up and dance. Record up to one minute of music for play on this innovative gadget which comes at a size of 250 x 190 x 100 mm, weighs about 900g, and will set you back $58.90. The real question remains, though, that if you hook the Bumblebee up to the Music Label Soundwave will they fight or merely morph?
(Thanks, Fanny)
