AirCurve is a cleverly-designed acoustic amplifier that turns your iPhone into a no-power-drain alarm clock on your nightstand, or a mini sound system that never needs batteries or adapters.

All they need to do is plug their headphones into one of the spare connectors. It features one hardwired hook-up for the audio source, plus five headphone sockets arranged in a star configuration. In addition to letting everyone tap into the same tunes, it can also double as a DJ set-up – albeit a very simple one. Connect up another MP3 player and you can mix between tracks for that almost-in-a-nightclub effect, depending on how nifty you are with the volume controls on each player.
