Modern, stylish, portable, and it even produces quality sound from a Sony Walkman (circa 1990s mind you)!  I would like to present to you the Speakr Box.  No batteries needed, Australian Hoop Pine ply wood box, 2 watt stereo speaker, and equipped with a 3.55mm headphone jack.

I came across this little guy at the Melbourne Design Market this past weekend and I have to admit the simplicity in design just grabbed my attention.  I was able to compare sound quality from a variety of audio players; to include, but not limited to iPod/Phone, Walkman (yes, the one that plays something called a tape), CD player, and I happen to have an iriver on me which performed quite well.

At 85mm x 170mm x 65mm (3.3in x 6.7in x 2.5in) you really can’t go wrong fitting this bit of boom on a bookshelf, office desktop, or if you’re looking to get creative keep it hidden to create that ambiance for say……swooning a date, maybe?  Ok, I suppose you can create that rain forest atmosphere for those tranquil listeners out there, too.  Whatever your listening needs are, I would definitely give the Speakr Box a go.

The only thing I will admit that has me down about the Speakr Box is the fact that it clearly states “shipping within Australia only” under the buy tab on their site.  Yeah, I know, you were waiting to find out where to purchase this piece of audio art, and at $59.99 AUD (approx. $54.00 USD) I would say this is quite affordable when compared to other wood enclosed mini speakers on the market.

Overall this is a great “Speakr Box” for you audiophiles to check out as well aesthetically pleasing to the home and office design addicts out there.  I’ll be sure to keep you posted if any changes with the shipping limitations occur, but if you really are interested in purchasing I wouldn’t mind shipping this out to my US bretheren.  If you have any other recommendations for speakers in the same class please leave a comment below to share you thoughts with us.
