Since we tell you about enough speakers and plants and boards that actually do fly—or at least levitate—we feel the need to clarify that this one doesn’t. Although, more than those others, the Radial6 iPhone speaker dock really looks like it ought to.
Just as its iXoost sister products stylishly romanticize race cars—no surprise, since they’re all fabricated in fabled Modena, Italy—this one exudes aeronautics. From its shiny aluminum alloy nosecone (housing a 7-inch, 270-watt subwoofer) to the well-positioned surrounding speakers that look like engines, this gorgeous piece of work is both an artistic and audio masterpiece.
This (figuratively) high-flyin’ piece of audio couture starts at around $9,000 and (again, figuratively) goes up from there, depending on what colored accents and accessories you desire.
