Micro Speaker Keychain

There you are, listening to your MP3 player when you suddenly fancy sharing your guilty pleasures playlist with the masses, or at least with the bloke sitting next to you. You don’t want to yuckify your earphones with the frankly useless ‘ear each’ method. And you can’t even begin to sing the chorus of Stefan Dennis’s “Don't It Make You Feel Good”, so you’re stuck. Or are you?

Well no, not if you’ve got a Micro Speaker Keychain stuffed in your pocket. Similar in size to a largish stock cube, this incredible gizmo plugs into your player’s headphone jack (cable supplied) and amplifies your tunes. Buy one of these and like a sobbing X Factor contestant you’ll never want to go back to your old life.

Rechargeable via USB, the Micro Speaker Keychain will blast out your music for up to 8 hours before it needs rejuicing. That means all you vindictive loafers can irritate your co-workers all day, every day. Result! You can even plug into your mobile phone to beef up tunes, unfunny message alerts and jaunty ringtones.


Despite its sub tenner price tag, this amazing mini amp is really rather stylish, featuring a smart gloss black surround and tactile rubberised rear. And because it dangles from your keyring you’ll never leave home without it. Unless you forget your keys, in which case listening to DJ Otzi sans earphones will be the least of your worries.

It’s hardly going to bother the neighbours but thanks to its internal amp the Micro Speaker Keychain is surprisingly loud, so it will come in handy next time you need to share the latest Ross/Brand podcast with harrumphing Middle Englanders, chattering commuters or gobby pals in the pub. It might even drown out the inevitable choruses of ‘Wow, where did you get that?’ And we all know the answer to that one, don’t we?
