I've been using some old iPods lately and really missing the hi-fi aesthetic of that era. I'm especially into the look of these vintage Beoplay speakers from Bang & Olufsen. It's a shame that so many of these beautiful devices became obsolete every time Apple made a minor change to their proprietary cables, because the aesthetic of that era was fantastic.
Edit: I haven’t tried this unit myself. These pics are from online listings.

@docpop I remember it as an era of spectacularly beautiful industrial design and decidedly average audio fidelity.

@tekhedd oh, that’s probably a great way to think of it. Many of these devices had terrible speakers and fell apart kind of quickly. The Beoplay looks solid, but that might be the exception of that time. I haven’t tried one personally, I’m just looking at pretty pictures.
