There's a ton of stylish iPod amplifiers on the market, but the Skullcandy Vandal Speaker Dock is the one I like the most.
The rock-and-roll guy in me has taken a liking to the Skullcandy Vandal Speaker Dock simply because of its unique design. The amplifier looks like it's modeled after a vintage guitar amp. The boombox is decked out in black, with a beautiful gold trim on the front and on the controls. The knobs are definitely a nod to the ones you see on amps, which is a touch I certainly appreciate. In terms of specs, this piece packs 80mm woofers, 19mm tweets with a total output of 21 watts. With the 3.5mm input, this gadget is also compatible with many other MP3 players as well, making it super practical.
