Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Beat Booster Combines an Iconic 80s Look with Contemporary Tech

— March 21, 2013 — Tech
You might be in danger of looking a little bit too cool while carrying the Beat Booster around. The modern portable boombox comprises a pair of amps, an adjustable dock, a convenient handle and cutting-edge means of operation.

Made by Quirky, the compact sound system is sleek and lightweight and depends entirely on your media-packed devices for commands. In its most basic state, the two squared speakers might be pushed together and the equipment can be used as an independent bluetooth audio projector.

Alternatively, slide the pair of components apart so that they're spaced appropriately for the snug placement of your iPod, your iPhone or your iPad. The frame of the Beat Booster holds these electronics in place and the handle can flip down to serve as a convenient kickstand.
