V-Moda Vamp Verza: The Fanciest Audio Accessory For Your Phone
Last Year, V-Moda made a specially designed headphone amp/DAC case for the iPhone. It was awesome but way too expensive for what it did. V-Moda’s new Vamp Verza is an infinitely more flexible product you can use with iPhones, Android phones, and even your computer — but it might fall flat for exactly the same reason its predecessor did.
Muji’s Minimalist Bluetooth Speaker Will Disappear Into Your Walls

Bluetooth Gramophone: The Ideal Way To Stream Your Vintage Albums
Sure, vinyl has that warm fuzzy feeling that digital recordings just seem to be lacking.

Fujifilm Has Developed Speakers You Call Roll Up Like Paper
The gadget world must be suffering from a spate of body image problems — thin phones, thin batteries, thin fans and now… thin speakers? I don’t mean those fancy tall, skinny ones you see these days, no, it’s Fujifilm’s “Beat” speakers that you can roll up like a sheet of paper.
