The picture might make you think that we are going to talk about some blast from the past. If yes, you are mistaken as this gramophone look-a-like is a modern iPod dock in actual. Dubbed Phonophone, this dock throws out sound at 55 decibels directly from your iPod and that too without using any external power. The Phonofone makes use of the ceramic horn acoustics to boost the audio output of standard earphones to up to 55 decibels. Although it pumps out sound as loud as a set of laptop speakers but the idea is pretty cool. Isn’t it? But, does that compensate for its $830 price tag?
