I was over at my friend’s house the other night admiring the shelf-sized speaker system that his iPod was plugged into — mint-green with a wooden face, trapezoidal, and ever so clever in its throwback simplicity. And, as function doesn’t always follow form, it was nice to hear that the speaker quality held up without volume distortion.
“Where’d you pick this up?”
“Urban Outfitters.”
“No seriously… where?”
Turns out he wasn’t pulling my leg — UO is offering the Specktone Retro stereo speaker system through their online shop only, so don’t expect to find this at your local store. The high gloss speaker, that not only fits all iPod gens but is also kind enough to charge them when docked, features a 4” subwoofer, 28-watt output and analog circuitry.
Also included: a wall power adapter and 2 matching iPod skins for the matchy-matchy types (video & nano sizes). For $129, this little gem definitely gets a thumbs up.
