You've got to love classy combos of the antiquated and the cutting edge. That's just what this Phonophone is: an iPod dock in the form of an old gramophone. What makes it even more unique is that it requires no external power to run, instead using the natural amplification of its horn to get a rich, full song out of the iPod's headphones alone.

Sure, the 55 decibels it pumps out are only as loud as a set of laptop speakers, but it's just so cool! Is it cool enough to warrant the $830 pricetag? Well, I guess that's up to you to decide. — Adam Frucci
