We in the tech press are constantly bombarded by emails telling us about new products that are about to launch. (Poor us, we know…) This is especially true in December, as the annual Consumer Electronics Show, which takes place during the second week of January, edges ever closer. So it’s easy to overlook a lot of the pitches and press releases. But this morning, something came through our inbox that is so awesomely audacious, we couldn’t help but share.

This (pictured above) is iNuke Boom, the most gigantic iPhone/iPod dock in existence. (Yes, that little thing on the top is an iPhone.) Made by Behringer, this $30,000, car-sized contraption measures 4-feet tall and 8-feet wide, and weighs 700 pounds, meaning you’re going to need to rent a U-Haul to bring this sucker home. Why is it so ridiculously large? To blow you away with 10,000 watts of face-melting tunes, of course!

The iNuke Boom officially launches at CES, where we’ll be sure to get a closer look (as if that’s needed). Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until then to give you more technical details. In the mean time, you can shop for what kind of ladder you think will go well with your iNuke Boom.

My favorite Dolby Atmos songs from 2024 to add to your playlist

I'll admit that as an audio reviewer, I have a tendency to listen to the same collection of songs whenever I review a pair of headphones. Even if they're a personal pair and I'm not reviewing them, I'll give a quick listen through snippets of four or five tracks to get a sense of things like frequency response, soundstage, and detail.

Why do I listen to the same songs? For one (or both) of two reasons: I've become intimately familiar with them over the years, or they've been recommended to me by other reviewers -- and in consequence, I've become intimately familiar with them over the years. But it's also good for the mind and the soul to keep things fresh, and with thousands upon thousands of songs being released every year, it's worth appreciating and adding new recordings to the mix.
