The patent pending Phonofone II is a passive sound amplification device that uses the earbuds from your iPod to send the sound through its ceramic horn that has the ability to play at levels up to 55dB. Science + Sons claims the Phonofone II can reach the same volume levels as a pair of laptop speakers, which isn't going to impress the kids, but you'll sleep better knowing that you are saving power.


The limited edition Phonofone II will set you back $875.

Seems like an interesting technical exercise, but $875 is real money, and this thing has to sound horrible. Just power one of those B&W blimp-docks with a solar panel.
