FiiO PS1110 Walkbox portable speaker says 'buy more'

$15 for a hunk of metal and plastic that makes noise and looks pretty cool? Sure, it's not quite that pink cube that OMM told you pick up on the way home from your occupation, but FiiO's PS1110 Walkbox portable speaker is just that right blend of retro and modern that makes us all weak in the knees. Let us be thankful we have commerce.

Wow, really digging the design of this. Kind of like an old-school walkman. sign me up

[Creativity Posted Jul 25th 2009 11:38PM]

Is it wireless? I'm going to assume it is since I'm to lazy to read the link, so is it bluetooth or is it going to have some kind of separate dongle.

[Dan H Posted Jul 25th 2009 11:41PM]

Nope. Connects through a cable to your Mp3 Player or whatever the hell you're using.

[ndrwme Posted Jul 26th 2009 1:36AM]

Why would you assume a $15 speaker is wireless?

[Dan H Posted Jul 25th 2009 11:42PM]

Anyone else notice the pimples on the guy's hand during the video?

>___>

[F C Posted Jul 26th 2009 1:00AM]

So why were you checking out the dude's hand?
(until around 1:56, I thought the person was one-handed)

Not bad though! The smaller looks better but lacks the clarity of the other.

[alexisawesomex Posted Jul 25th 2009 11:44PM]

Looks like it has been ripped out of a Macbook Pro...

[Ephemeral Posted Jul 26th 2009 4:43AM]

If you've never seen a laptop speaker before or have never seen a brushed silver coating, then yes I agree completely.

[SNP Posted Jul 25th 2009 11:46PM]

In the source video, I just hope the guy's right hand is holding the camera, instead of....

[Haha Posted Jul 26th 2009 12:04AM]

I would guess not. The camera is not shaking or anything.

Why didn't you just directly link to anythingbutipod?

Because you're obligated to post the "via" link as where you actually first read the story from. And then the "read" link points to the main news object, except in this case they forgot it.

"When I first tested the volume of this thing, I had serious concerns about the neighbors as this will spit out enough volume to piss off people within a certain range." I love this line.

[BigD145 Posted Jul 26th 2009 12:21AM]

It's worth $15.

[Konrad Posted Jul 26th 2009 1:04AM]

Looks like one of my grandfather's mini portable radios.

[v3xx Posted Jul 26th 2009 1:23AM]

i was thinking the same thing. my grandpa has 6. one on the nightstand, one for the jacuzzi, one by the massaging lazy boy and the big screen (spoiled), one in the kitchen, one for the bathroom, and one for the office. it's always conservative old guy talk radio too A.M. of course. you just cant beat the low constant static of analog.

[Ranger Wolf Posted Jul 26th 2009 1:13AM]

MP4nation has been selling these for ever, its not really anything new

[cdf74dc9 Posted Jul 26th 2009 1:14AM]

I would spend a little more and Get a Sony SRS-M50 portable speaker for awesome quality sound for $30.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 1:44AM]

It looks like i would place it in my office, call all my females to my office and begin a modern Charlie's Angels....

[chanjunsung Posted Jul 26th 2009 3:14AM]

bought this on dealextreme a while back. i totally recommend it. uses 2 aa or usb connection for power. it is really loud for the size. works great with my iphone. also has its own volume buttons.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 11:38AM]

I just bought these. They sound great from the video. I will be using this for my Zune and my laptop. The speakers on this thing blows.

[stridermt2k Posted Jul 26th 2009 12:13PM]

That thing is cute as a button, but i already have a great rechargeable speaker at the moment.
-got two of 'em at Woot a while back.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 9:45PM]

I bought those too, and they are absolutely fantastic... my only wish was that if you decide to stay put for a little while you could plug them in and not drain the aaa's

[excelsium Posted Jul 26th 2009 3:30PM]

inaccurate audio reproduction helps me fall asleep o.o

[good grief Posted Jul 26th 2009 5:20PM]

Looks more ghetto than retro

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 27th 2009 3:35AM]

Shame you all only found out about this product now, its actually been discontinued by Fiio.

[david432111 Posted Jul 27th 2009 11:53AM]

And where do you know that from? Just cause one site doesn't stock it anymore doesn't mean that other shops don't.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 27th 2009 11:57AM]

Ask Fiio for yourself if you want.

[david432111 Posted Jul 28th 2009 2:20AM]

Actually I did, I sent them an email yesterday asking if it was discontinued. This was there answer:

"Dear David:

Thank you very much for you email and interesting in our products!

Very sorry, walkbox - s1 now is out of stock, but next month it will back to stock, and them you can buy it at some on-line e-shop!


Best regards! "

It's just out of stock.
