Phonofone II - Retro MP3 Player Speaker

The Phonofone II ($489) by designer Tristan Zimmermann, is the ultimate external speaker for your iPod or MP3 player. The ceramic Phonofone II passively amplifies the music playing from your MP3 player's earbud headphones into a warm, rich and resonant sound, boosted up to around 55 decibels. The simple horn acoustics and retro, old-fashioned design combined with today's state-of-the-art audio electronics, transforms this into a luxuriously unique music accessory. They define it as a "sculptural audio console", I say it's just plain cool and a must have for audiophiles and lovers of beautiful, functional design. It's nice to see a piece of advanced technology that doesn't require batteries and that isn't made of plastic too. - ( 0 Comments)
