Available from USB Fever for $99.99, it’s a docking station for your iPhone that’s meant to mimic the experience you may have once had with an old rotary dial landline telephone. I remember having one of these at my grandma’s place, listening to that dial click-clack its way back with number entered. The iPhone gets an accompanying app to simulate that experience.

As for the dock itself, it will keep your iPhone charged and it can connect via the 3.5mm headset jack so that you can use the provided handset to complete the retro experience. I’d say that $100 is a little on the pricey side, given that you can probably pick up an old rotary phone from the thrift store for a few bucks, but there’s just something a little more hipster about having your rotary phone as an iPhone dock.

The two new models are essentially the same, except that the OE2i comes with an in-line microphone for cell phone calls. They both have an in-line remote for volume control and they both boast that valued “Made for iPhone” stamp. And true to Apple-friendly form, the headphones do come in white, though you can opt for standard black too.

It’s not really fair to say that these are “over the air” DJ-style cans, because the ear cups are going to be a little smaller. That’s why they refer to the OE2 and OE2i as “on-ear headphones.” This helps to keep them lighter, while still offering Bose level audio quality. There is no active noise cancellation, but the on-ear design should help to muffle the outside the world.

The OE2 is priced at $149.95 and the OE2i comes in at a $30 premium. They should work with non-iProducts too, but the volume control could be troublesome for Android phones.
