The Audio Can

The Audio Can has a single mini-jack input to accommodate portable music sources, and several cans can be daisy-chained together for the ultimate in surround technology. Imagine the shopping cart theater! Presently only available form ebay for around $44, you can order the Audio Can with a fashionable gray, yellow, or green label. Why not collect all three?

The Audio Can from designer Dean Brown is not a headphone; it’s an actual can that used to house normal things like cat food. Brown was apparently inspired by the old can and string telephone (a device long known for its excellent fidelity) and he decided to replace the beans with a 9V battery powered amplifier and a top-firing speaker.

Lets hope it doesn’t sound too tinny!

The Sound Egg Chair Has To Be The Ugliest Speaker Chair I Have Seen In a Long Time

The Sound Egg Chair  has to be one of the ugliest chairs I have seen in a very long time. Essentially its a 60′s-era egg chair with sound dampening material glued on the inside and speakers wired to the roof of it. I’m curious about what the sound is like while sitting in there. Am I $1,500 worth of curious? No, no I’m not. I guess it’s back to normal chairs and speakers for me.
