Batteries are not included because they are not needed. The Bone Horn Stand is an unpowered phonograph-inspired iPhone case and stand which amplifies your device’s sound up to 12 decibels, simply by channeling the audio through the horn. The silicon-based amp slips over your iPhone like any other case, but gives it an audio boost and a dash of old-timey style in the process. The case’s design also allows the phone to lay comfortably in both horizontal or vertical orientations.... Continue reading

Just because you killed off your Heineken mini-keg all doesn’t mean the fun has to end there. Why not make use of it by turning the keg into a guitar amplifier? eBay seller k_hessler  puts these amplifiers together (whilst under the influence) so he can sell them on the Internet for $119.99. There’s nothing specifically noteworthy about this 20W amp, I mean – it doesn’t even double as a bong. At least it’s made well, unlike many other DIY amplifiers... Continue reading

Not much is known about this video except that a guy built a Tesla coil and used it as a guitar amplifier. Each note he plays, lightning and electricity shoot out from a device sitting in his living room. Does it look incredibly unsafe? Absolutely. Is it rock and roll? You bet your ass it is. Link

The “g.MOBIlab” is a super-low-weight biosignal recorder which measures EEG, data processing, analysis, and pattern recognition to create a fully functional Brain Computer Interface. The first BCI system... Continue reading

Everything is being produced and sold in such compact packages now. It’s truly the time of the mash-up, as the Evesham Sound Stage X1 proves. It’s hard to tell whether this TV stand / home theater hybrid was made as a cool gadget or a device for people to lazy to get off their asses. Possibly both reasons apply. The Sound Stage X1 is a stand which packs in the complete home theater studio system into its design. Included in... Continue reading

We don’t know how the idea of turning toasters into guitar amps happened to spring to life, and we’re not sure if we want to know, but the result is one unique design for a rockers gear collection. Built on a simple foundation of a input/output jack, a 9 volt battery, and a small speaker, the Toaster Amp is a razzle-dazzle mini-amplifier fit for fans of They Might Be Giants and any band looking for that “new-wave” type of thing....

With phones and other consumer electronics getting smaller and smaller as the days progress, the hardware inside must also keep up to date.

This single chip contains stereo-playback capable DAC (Digital Audio Converter), 3D surround functionality, and a speaker amp. The ML2611 will greatly improve sound quality in devices we care so much about, like our precious phones... Continue reading
