Review: Lasonic i931 iPod Ghetto Blaster (Verdict: Awesome)

We've covered a handful of new and modded Lasonic gear here at Giz, but I finally got up close with their fabled i931 iPod Ghetto Blaster. If you're unfamiliar, Lasonic made some classic boomboxes during the 80s, and now they've updated their TRC-931 boombox with a built-in iPod dock, SD card reader and USB port. The picture and description pretty much sum up what makes this $170 retro wonder so amazing, but I have a laundry list of reasons why the i931 boombox is one of my favorite gadgets I've ever laid hands on.

Legendary Lasonic i931 iPod Dock Ghetto Blaster: Pics, Price, and Release Date

The Lasonic iPod Ghetto Blaster has been hyped for a while now, but this was our first opportunity to get a look at it up close—and as you can see, we took full advantage. We also managed to score a full-feature list which I lovingly hand-typed word-for-word from a spec sheet (weird errors and all). And for those of you who thought this thing would never see the light of day, we learned that the boombox will be priced at $169 and it is ready and waiting for interested vendors. You can check out the full specs after the break. More »

Lasonic "Ghetto Blaster"

Lasonic showed off their prototype old school boombox that has been updated for the new millennium of hipsters.

As Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back put the group into hypnotic pop Nirvana, we admired the 5 band equalizer, USB/SD/MP3 support, DVD drive with display and sweet analog tuner. Hopefully Lasonic will actually bring this to market for their projected $250 pricetag, because we really don't want to "go back to 1985" to relive the experience. –Mark Wilson More »

Live from CES: Modded Lasonic TRC-931

What you're seeing here is a bit of a tragedy: A vintage Lasonic TRC-931 (v2), vivisected to include a built-in DVD player and screen where once lived a tape deck. There were other TRC-931 on display in Lasonic's booth, some with audio minijack inputs, built-in MP3 players with SD slots; that sort of thing. More »
