This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen the Berlin Boombox. The device turned up on Kickstarter about a year ago when it was seeking funding for production. We lost track of the device after the Kickstarter campaign and it has now turned up again, and this time you can buy it outright.

Lasonic’s 931 TRC was one of the most popular boombox models in the late 80s. With the death of the cassette tape the company released an update on the 931 TRC called the I931X Classic, which played audio files and had an iPod dock in place of a tape deck.

This ridiculous looking little boom box snaps onto the bottom of your iPod, letting it belt (or is it chirp) out some fat (or is it skinny) beats. Homade’s Boom Dock connects to your iPod’s dock connector and has a little speakers inside of it.

As if its throwback looks weren’t flashy enough, this boombox bag also has built-in speakers. Plug in your MP3 player and you’ll really grab everyone’s attention. Unfortunately we don’t have specs on the speakers, but judging from the picture I don’t think we can expect top-quality audio from them.

Remember the AT-AT Walker ghetto blaster? Well apparently not only the Empire gets its own boom box. This R2-D2 sound system is part of the Hype Hustle Rip-Off exhibition by artist Bill McMullen over at LA’s The Constant Gallery.
