Much like high-top fades and short shorts, vinyl has defied the odds and made a comeback. From an audio perspective, it makes sense: there’s something about the way that vinyl sounds that just can’t be duplicated with digital music. But from a practical standpoint, vinyl is a pain in the butt. It’s not portable and requires a giant turntable. Fortunately, there’s a new little gizmo that unshackles your records and lets you listen to them anywhere: the RokBlok.

The RokBlok is a completely different kind of record player. You don’t spin a record around a turntable; the record stays stationary and the RokBlok spins around the record. All you have to do is place the record on a flat surface and voila: you instantly have a portable record player. That’s right, it’s literally a new spin on an old technology.

The RokBlok has a built-in rechargeable battery and speaker so you don’t need any outside equipment. But if you want, it can be wirelessly paired with any Bluetooth speaker for an even bigger sound. Measuring 2 inches by 4 inches, the RokBlok is truly the world’s smallest record player.
