These are so cute we nearly peed our pants the first time we saw them. Gone are the days when portable amplification meant lugging a ghetto blaster around with you: today’s mobile music junkies go for something a little more compact. And while Headphonies mini speakers can’t rival the phatness of an old-school boombox, they’re unlikely to threaten your street cred either. Each 3in figurine packs a speaker powered by a rechargeable battery that can be topped up by jacking it into your computer’s USB port. Just to make them a bit more covetable, they come with a range of designs by artists including Jeremiah Ketner and Scribe.

Headphonies, ¥3,150 each. Available from AC Gears (http://japan.acgears.com/), Amazon Japan and Amazon US.
