Man, I miss boom boxes...
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.
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.
What?!? They lasted months. MONTHS
And the constant one-upsmanship to make them more and more ridiculous

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.
I miss when hip hop was fun
Dude, same
I liked the culture of it.
