Feeling the Music with the Resonance Speaker and iPod/iPhone Docking Station

Music has always been designed for the ears, but wouldn’t you love the possibility of being able to feel the music you listen to other than merely being able to hear it? The Resonance Speaker and iPod/iPhone Docking Station makes that possible now!

This innovative device from Chinavasion is an iPod dock and speaker in one, a small gadget incorporated with different advanced features. In its most basic form, this device can hold your iPod or iPhone in place, a cool way to display your gadget when not in use. Other than that, however, the said speaker and docking station is designed to elevate the level by which you experience music—from hearing it to feeling it! The device accomplishes this by transmitting sound vibrations through the surface into which it is placed. Once it’s placed on a hard surface like your marble floor or wooden table, the music from the speaker resonates off the surface. Different materials create different effects on the sound produced, so the resulting output is unique. And with its 3.5-mm audio jack, you can connect it to virtually any device—your MP3 player, laptop, and other audio devices. You can also charge the mentioned devices by simply connecting them on the speaker without activating them. As a final treat, the Chinavasion speaker also features an amplifier that further improves music quality.

The Resonance Speaker and iPod/iPhone Docking Station is powered through an AC adapter and has a 12-watt audio output. You can enjoy all its features for only $41.07.
