Man, I miss boom boxes...
-
then you remember they required a family of D batteries and lasted 2 hours tops. meanwhile my phone can connect to several speaker and headphone sets and deliver astonishing quality compared to tapes, while barely moving the battery meter.
-
Imagine the lifespan you could get from one that's been converted to modern li-ion.
-
Only, like, 8 D cells, which only cost 1 paycheck or so 😅
-
If your phone did the full signal amplification and driving of the speakers, that battery would die pretty quickly too.
-
What?!? They lasted months. MONTHS
-
-
And the constant one-upsmanship to make them more and more ridiculous

The decent ones are ridiculously expensive now. It's crazy. If the one he's holding is the one I think it is, that specific models is worth thousands now.

I miss when hip hop was fun

Dude, same

I liked the culture of it.

I thought boomboxes were peak coolness in the 80’s.
-
My dad wouldn't let me get one with 2 speakers. Only one speaker. I still don't understand that reasoning.
Like this:

They were!

RADIO RAHEEM! THAT'S THE HYPE, YO!

Radio Raheem was very polarizing, you either LOVE him or HATE him.

Rest in power Radio.
