Flat-packed self-assembled iPod boombox

Firebox.com:

Zip up your tracksuit, gather your crew and get ready for a retro-tastic dance-off because the iPod Boombox is here. This utterly ingenious flat-packed iPod speaker system looks just like an '80s style boombox. You know, the shoulder-riding sound systems used by breakdancers, posers and anyone else keen to assault the eardrums of the general public. And get this, it's made of cardboard. Why? Don't ask us. It's like that (that's just the way it is).

Wired: Lasonic X Famous i931, "21st Century Ghetto Blaster Makes Us Want To Do The Right Bling"

Wired:

This ghetto-fabulous boombox featuring a "Famous Stars and Straps" pattern designed by former Blink 182 drummer, Travis Barker is sure eye-catching, and its ability to play music from iPods, SD/MMC cards, microphones, USB sticks and line-level sources hits us right in the feature set sweet spot. But with an interface that somehow renders the user-friendly iPod nearly un-navigable and a chintzy plastic construction, it's best suited for one activity: belting out rhymes over backing tracks stored in one of the above-mentioned formats. See, this thing has a quarter-inch input that works with a standard stage mic. A gain control knob mixes vocals above or below the music, while an echo knob adds various intensities of delay to your voice. We would not recommend this 2 x 12 Watt monster for regular music listening since it can be so frustrating to use. But if you know exactly what you would do with a microphone enabled iPod boombox, Lasonic X Famous i931 will get the job done in style — even if your name isn't Radio Raheem. —Eliot Van Buskirk
