If you like your speakers rugged and inside an ammo box, then look what we have here. Perfect for blasting tunes on the battlefield or anywhere else where people are trying to kill you. The Thodio A-Box Speaker might be crammed inside a retro ammo box, but it’s creator swears that it’s all high quality.

It has a 6mm trespa on the inside with vibration dampening material, to help out the quality of sound and it’s durable enough for outside use of course. It will turn Apocalypse Now into Apocalypse wow, while your Platoon is jamming the night away.

I can’t really think of a notebook or netbook off hand that I have ever used that actually had a sound system that sounded good. The speakers are usually tiny things with no bass and flat sound. If you are tired of listening to movies and music with junky speakers, Logitech has a product for you.

The new Logitech Laptop Speaker Z205 has debuted today and it is designed to clip onto your notebook or netbook screen and gets connectivity and power from a USB cable that is included. The little speaker comes with its own carry case and measures 1.35″ x 2.5″.

There’s only a few more days to go until Valentine’s day. If you’re still looking for a gift for your significant other, why not make it this horrible iPod speaker dock from Ricco? Girls will love it. It is hot pink after all and heart-shaped.

The only thing it’s missing to make it perfect for females everywhere is Hello Kitty’s face. It’s compatible with all iPods and iPhones and can be connected to other music players with the 3.5mm audio line-in cable. If it’s portability you want, it also runs on 4xAAA batteries.

We all know that many pets like dogs have hearing that is much better than human hearing. That means that if the music you listens too hurts your ears, the dog’s ears probably really hurt. Pet Acoustics has announced a new device for pet owners called the My Pet Speaker that lets you play music for animals at levels that won’t hurt their hearing.

The device has a 3.5mm input and will work with any input source including CD players, iPods, iPhones and more. The speaker uses an omnidirectional design to provide quality sound anywhere around the speaker. The driver is a 4-inch unit and it has a frequency response of 200Hz ~ 12KHz.

The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700 is a laptop cooler that comes with USB-powered external speakers and comfortable cushion with a built-in 10° pitch. That angle should be great for viewing what you are looking at.

The Lapdesk N700 also features a USB-powered fan that will keep your laptop’s heat away from your lap and circulate the air to keep everything cool. The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700 can be yours for £69.99 (which is $109).

Check out this portable speaker from Japan, the UMAZONe. This USB 2.0 powered speaker will deliver 0.35W × 2ch output though a 38mm diameter speaker unit on the bottom. It’s designed as a vacuum tube amplifier with LED flashing lights for a classic and at the same time modern look.

It’s compatible with Windows XP/Vista and Windows 7. The UMAZONe speaker is priced at about $25 and comes in Silver and Black. We’ve seen far worse looking little speakers and you can never go wrong with vacuum tubes.

You just don’t see the ole cannon as much these days, what with our machine guns and killer robot drones, but if you have a special place in your heart for the cannon, then check this out. It’s a wood USB speaker. In the shape of a cannon.

The Wooden Cannon USB Speaker plugs into your computer via the USB port and has a 3.5mm headphone jack, which allows it to work with other MP3 players. The speakers will deliver 2.5W + 2.5W output. So how much is a wooden cannon USB speaker? Only $22.

Check out this retro cassette speaker. The device will work with any MP3 player that has a 3.5 mm audio jack. Yes, it’s yet another thing that looks like a cassette tape. In this case, it’s a speaker. One that will immediately make your player look ugly, while adding some girth. But if you want some retro in an MP3 speaker, this thing will only cost you $19.99.

Ah, you’ve noticed that male receptacle hanging from the bottom of the cassette. Well, let me explain. When a cassette speaker loves an MP3 player very very much…

If Star Trek had come out in the 1940s this is what the communicator would look like. The Fytone Vintage Mp3 Speaker and Transistor Radio is great for anyone who wants their modern tech to have a vintage look.

This portable speaker is a throwback to the old transistor radio. It will support any Mp3 player with its 3.5mm cable and also receive AM/FM Channels with the antenna which doubles as a stand. It takes 3 AA batteries and will make a lasting impression on your grandparents.

The RotariPhone is an iPod dock and speaker system built into an old rotary phone. It’s alot like this one from last December, but it looks more polished.

Just put your iPod in the cradle where you’d normally hang up the phone. The handset sits on its side and plays your music through where the phone’s speaker and mic used to be. It’s an awesomely retro design, and when not in use looks like a standard phone.

One of the better iPod docks that I have tested in recent years was the cool (and pointy) Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin. The only real downside to that thing was that it was very large for a speaker dock. I guess B&W felt the same way and the company has unveiled a new smaller Zeppelin Mini iPod dock.

Ironically, the only simularity between the original Zeppelin and the new Zeppelin Mini is the name. The Mini has a rotating docking arm that allows the iPod to be turned to landscape mode for viewing album art. The device also has a USB port to allow you to stream music from PMPs attached via USB as well as your Mac or PC.

Here’s a different kind of slider from JVC Japan. The SP-A130 is exactly what it looks like, a sliding speaker. These portable active speakers are 30mm wide and will deliver stereo output up to 160mW×2ch. The case has a sliding mechanism which protects the actual speakers from dust and dirt.

The unit is powered by 4 AA batteries which will give you 16 hours of continuous play. The speaker also has a passive mode which allows it to draw power from the source.

Bluetooth technology in mobile phones and MP3 players is a great thing. The tech allows us to make and receive phone calls using hands free devices and we can stream stereo music wirelessly from one device to the next.

The new Tenqa line of Bluetooth Wireless speakers debuted on Amazon over the weekend. The line includes three devices that all support Bluetooth A2DP technology. The Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Wireless Portable Speaker is compact and is designed to be portable. Volume and track controls are built-in to the front of the device and it sells for $79.99.

Looking for a reusable bag so that you can be environmentally helpful? These wooden iPod speaker bags from Japanese artist Yoshihiko Satoh are perfect. They function as actual bags and play music from your iPod while they carry your goods to and fro.

They’re available in dark wood or maple and will cost about $335. Sure, that is one expensive iPod dock, but just think of all the geeks you will impress while you’re out and about pumping tunes. Plus you aren’t contributing to still more plastic bags in landfills.

Japanese company Nendo has designed this wireless home speaker that matches the crazy old lady decor of white lace and bird cages everywhere. It also works via Bluetooth and is available in black or white. Guess which one your grandmother would choose. The Music Cage comes in just one size with some retro chrome switches like in the old days.

It can be displayed on a table or suspended from the ceiling. If you gift one of these to your grandma, expect a call asking where her bird went and why she can’t get in to put newspaper on the bottom.
