Man, I miss boom boxes...
And the constant one-upsmanship to make them more and more ridiculous
I liked the culture of it.
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.
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.
What?!? They lasted months. MONTHS
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.
I miss when hip hop was fun
