The Brooklyn Boombox is sized to be fully portable, yet still large enough (24” wide) to bring to mind its retro cousin, and its lithium battery delivers four hours of continuous use per 90-minute charging session. Its 40w stereo speakers have some power behind them, and it’s worth letting them warm up for a few hours before casting judgment on a very lightweight initial presentation.

I love this, looks great, sounds great, I have to give it 4 stars though because I think more work is needed on smaller details, like all the volume/bass/treble knobs, etc feels pretty rushed, I like it regardless.
