Minimalist Concept Amps

The Fiskars 88 has a Utilitarian Look with Edge

— July 4, 2011 — Tech
Just because a product is being designed to optimize sound, it does not mean that it shouldn't look good as well. The Fiskars 88 headphone amplifier was designed with both senses in mind.

Further still, one would discover the absolute ease of using the portable sound system, featuring two exaggerated dials for volume and tone, plus input jacks and hookups for four external speakers.

As if this wasn't enough, the compact and contemporary industrial device houses a 2TB hard drive which can acquire .mp3 files through a USB 3.0 cable. It can manipulate music as well as carry it, making it a great item to own for any audiophile. If only the Fiskars 88 headphone amplifier by Ddouard Urcadez was not just a concept, inspired by the modern design of the manufacturer's other sleek products.
