This Walnut Pause Heater (http://gizmodo.com/tag/walnutpauseheater/), which uses IR to heat your body, also has built-in speakers.
It's unclear how the IR heating works. Does it heat everything around the unit? Just bodies? Just water-filled bodies? How about a glass of water? Can you keep a drink warm by placing it on top? How about newspapers? T-Shirts? Underwear? At the very least, you'll always have a speaker handy when it becomes available in January 2010.
