iHome iDM8

At the office, in a bedroom, in the park, on a picnic, or even at a campsite, it's nice to have music playing. But you want a small, portable, and rechargeable option that emits good audio quality and lets you take music from your and your friends' mobile devices. The iDM8 fits the bill, in a cool-looking red or black sphere. It supports Bluetooth audio streaming, as well as standard line-in cables, for playback from iOS, Android, and other mobile devices. You can even charge it from your computer via its MicroUSB cable.
