Boomboxes for a retro music experience
In the world of audio devices, the boombox is an iconic form factor. Popular initially due to its woofer drivers, it was often sported as a way of carrying the party with you. While the CD and cassettes used with them have phased out of popular usage, the form factor has seen a resurgence in the domain of Bluetooth speakers. These modern counterparts can last longer and often come laden with several useful features that you would expect today. If you’re looking for a combo of nostalgia and modern features, here are some models available on Amazon that promise that mix.

To add to the aesthetics of your playback sessions, the device plays flashing lights along with the music.
