There are plenty of us out there who enjoy the look of vintage speakers, but using them today isn't necessarily practical. However, that's not to say you can't add some 1950's flair to your listening setup. The Lofree Poison aims to combine a vintage aesthetic with 21st-century technology, and it's on sale for $79.99 in the Boing Boing Store.

Boasting a design reminiscent of 1950's appliances, the Lofree Poison lets you tap into this feeling of nostalgia while blasting your living space with its powerful 20-watt amplifiers and enhanced bass driver. It features a 2000mAh rechargeable battery that allows for up to six hours of playtime and includes a physical rotating dial and built-in FM radio so that you can search for music the old-fashioned way.

You can pick up the Lofree Poison on sale for $79.99 today.
