The Lasonic Bluetooth Boombox blends the best of two generations into one. While the look is inspired by cassette players often associated with hood rats who mounted them on their shoulders, it is chock full of modern technology. Perfect for the contemporary person with a retro soul, it will add a nostalgic touch to anyone's home.
More than a simple loudspeaker, the Lasonic Bluetooth Boombox boasts a real-time clock display, an alarm and, of course, an AM/FM radio, just like the boomboxes of yore. Yet this one also comes equipped with Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming, a 3.5mm input, a USB input and a SD card reader. The Lasonic Bluetooth Boombox may have a predominantly black facade, but it also sports colorful accents that pertain to the different functions just listed.
