Rock 'n' Roll iPod Amplifiers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Skullcandy Vandal Speaker Dock Brings Rebel Attitudes

— June 28, 2011 — Art & Design
There's a ton of stylish iPod amplifiers on the market, but the Skullcandy Vandal Speaker Dock is the one I like the most.

The rock-and-roll guy in me has taken a liking to the Skullcandy Vandal Speaker Dock simply because of its unique design. The amplifier looks like it's modeled after a vintage guitar amp. The boombox is decked out in black, with a beautiful gold trim on the front and on the controls. The knobs are definitely a nod to the ones you see on amps, which is a touch I certainly appreciate. In terms of specs, this piece packs 80mm woofers, 19mm tweets with a total output of 21 watts. With the 3.5mm input, this gadget is also compatible with many other MP3 players as well, making it super practical.
Trend Themes
1. Stylish Ipod Amplifiers - Opportunity to disrupt the market with unique and visually appealing designs for iPod amplifiers.
2. Vintage-inspired Speaker Docks - Potential to innovate speaker docks with designs reminiscent of classic guitar amps.
3. Multi-device Compatibility - Disruptive potential lies in creating speaker docks that are compatible with various types of MP3 players.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to develop and market stylish, vintage-inspired iPod amplifiers and speaker docks.
2. Audio Equipment - Potential for audio equipment manufacturers to create speaker docks with visually appealing designs resembling classic guitar amps.
3. Music Accessories - Disruptive innovation opportunity in the music accessories industry by designing speaker docks that can be used with multiple MP3 players.
