What ever happened to the boombox, the chunky sound blaster built to bring the noise anywhere, and built to last? With all the effete Bluetooth speakers on the market — designed to be compact and pretty — the G-BOOM does away with pretense and gets right to the point.

This thing is tough, with rubber feet, a big, dumb handle on top that begs you to take the G-BOOM with you, and a sturdy build with plenty of space for the speaker’s powerful sound driver. Of course it also packs in all the nifty wireless features you’d ever want. It’s a modern take on the classic boombox that’s just $79.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Unlike the old days when six D cell batteries would get you halfway down the block, G-BOOM can run for six hours on a single charge, and charge your USB-compatible devices along the way. It’ll connect to any device via Bluetooth or a standard headphone jack. When connected, it’s controllable from your music device’s built-in buttons and commands. As for sound, a powerful 2.2 speaker configuration — with two full-range drivers and two tweeters, plus dual rear-firing bass ports and digital sound processing to optimize bass — this thing has all the toys but also brings the noise.

Buy now: Grab a G-BOOM for $79.99 — that’s a discount of 20 percent.
