I could easily see the Behringer Backyard Blaster becoming the new go-to iPod speaker dock for all house parties. This massive docking station is actually a gigantic speaker designed in the shape of a piece of carry-on luggage.
The Behringer Backyard Blaster has a built-in battery that can last for 12 hours on a single charge. The device is built specifically for iDevices with its 30-pin connector, but can also work with Android phones or other MP3 players with its AUX cable. No bout of drunken revelry would be complete without karaoke; thankfully, the Behringer Backyard Blaster has karaoke covered with its built-in microphone. Behringer is keeping mum on the pricing and release date of their new dock. Here's hoping it arrives by summer as it seems to be ideal for backyard BBQs.
