For those who miss bygone days, the SpecTone Retro iPod speaker system has been introduced.

As its name suggests, the SpecTone Retro looks like a throwback to the 1950’s, featuring wooden construction and clean, simplistic lines.

However with 28 watts of output, a 4-inch sub-woofer and two three-inch drivers for mid to high tones, the SpecTone Retro’s sound is anything but old-fashioned.

Electrical accessory company Speck, who makes the SpecTone Retro, said: “SpeckTone Retro looks like nothing you’ve seen for the iPod .

“The nostalgic elegance of 1950’s style makes a statement without replicating or competing with the modern, sleek look of the iPod itself. The all wood, sonically tuned speaker cabinet is finished with a high-gloss lacquered ‘piano finish,’ a gorgeous high-end feature previously available only on speaker sets five times the price of SpeckTone Retro.”

Available in black, white, or a sickly shade of green not seen since the 50’s themselves, the SpecTone also comes with free matching skins for your iPod .

The SpecTone Retro will start shipping in early June and costs £76.
