Stylophone Beatbox

Put on your neon tracksuit, Adidas sneakers, and get ready to lay down some phat beats. The Stylophone Beatbox ($30) is a portable electronic beats machine with all the classic beatbox sounds, various percussion effects and bass. You can play back loops of your work, lay your own beats over your favorite tracks, and record intricate beats super-slowly and then play them back quickly for maximum “awesome.” And the headphone socket is perfect for blocking out what your teenager refers to as “music.”
