CES 2009: Ipod Boombox

Bringing it back, old school style.

Logitech Wireless Boombox

Under the grille, the Boombox's four drivers can be easily seen. Each side has two drivers: a 3-inch midrange/low-end driver, a 0.5-inch tweeter. Four 2-inch passive radiators, two behind the grill on the front and two behind smaller grills on the back, add to the Boombox's bass kick. Its drivers are larger than Logitech's previous wireless speaker, the Wireless Speaker Z515 ($99, 3.5 stars), and it has a tweeter that the Z515 lacks. To accomodate the larger and more varied audio components, the boombox is larger, heavier, and more expensive.

Altec Lansing iMT800 MIX bBoomBox/b Review — The Gadgeteer

The iMT800 MIX BoomBox is big, strong, and yes I have to say it, spectacular (my helpmate called it awkward, but to each their own….). It’s matte malignant tractable association, aluminum accents, and orange highlights put a new/graceful look on an old concept.
