The old-school boombox is alive and well with this Bluetooth reboot
Shopping for a good portable Bluetooth speaker is like trying to find love on Tinder. Some speakers sound great but show up looking nothing like their profile pictures. Other speakers look great but can barely hold a conversation. And some speakers just bail on you for no reason even though they claimed to have no other pairings. It’s pretty dire out there, and it’s totally understandable if you feel hopeless and ready to swear off Bluetooth speakers forever. (We're still talking about Bluetooth speakers, here.)
But good news: there are some great diamonds in the rough like the G-BOOM Wireless Bluetooth Boombox. This rugged, lightweight speaker features an integrated handle for easy '90s-style carrying and blasts up to six hours of loud, high-quality sound. With a 2.1 speaker configuration, dual rear-firing bass ports, and MAXX AUDIO digital sound processing, this speaker is definitely all about that bass (and all about other kinds of sounds if bass isn’t your thing.)
The G-BOOM works with any Bluetooth connection or headphone jack and can be controlled wirelessly or with the physical playback buttons on the G-BOOM itself. With over 690 Amazon reviews averaging 4.5/5 stars and a throwback design that works in any situation, it’s no surprise that the G-BOOM has been recommended by the likes of CNET and iLounge.The G-BOOM normally costs $100, but you can get it today for just $74.99, a savings of 25 percent.
