Reno here and BeanieMan are the king Crazie's here and I just have the most Boombox's of ANYBODY HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ghettoman - 2011-11-07 19:28

i cant use tapes anymore chaps,they are just too much messing about for me,told you reno lad,these Sony Nwz818 are nice,they sound great playing through a box,also my 60gb Archos AV500,they are nice too,so much nicer and clearer,crisper than tapes..

i aint trying to change you but you need to share the old with the new,right now i've got my headphones on my tiny sony 818 playing james - blunt back to bedlam,sounds crystal clear lad..this sony is awsom..

 

As for Ipod,i can talk about my hate for them all day,if they had been made by any other brand other than Apple,they would have been a beautiful thing,but apple and itunes balls it up,its totally locked to them and even when you own one,they still own it by making you use itunes for everything,and they limit it to what you can do with it,no freedome to do what you want,they turned an item of beauty into an horrible useless device,i've had 3,one broke,and 2 i recently sold because of my hatred of itunes..oh and they try to extract every last penny out of you,eg you buy an 8gb ipod touch,they deliberately dont have a sd card slot to expand the memory,you have to sell your old one at a massive loss to buy a new one which cost megga bucks..Hate Apple !! Sorry,Cry Over..

Well I'm in the hunt for a turntable now to spin some more vinyl  Regressing I am

ghettoman - 2011-11-07 20:38

Now then..now vinyl,thats different,i can handle that..

isolator42 - 2011-11-08 00:55

Really not sure about the look.

The all-black (or all-pink) look seems to be trying to disguise what it is, which makes me wonder who, exactly is it aimed at?

 

Still nice to see more of this sort of thing out there. One day, someone wll get it bang on & I'll be ready... 

ghettoman - 2011-11-08 01:26

that thing does'nt even look real,it looks either like a picture,a drawing,or a prototype,kind of like an early design..defo does'nt look real/finished..

Reminds me of brutalist architecture of the 80's

Next thing we'll learn is that you'll be on the lookout for some wax cylinders to rotate.

you should look at the architecture of the sixties also gross.

retro - 2011-11-08 07:24

A little wood veneer, chrome and charcoal paint could possibly make it less visually offensive.

 

ao - 2011-11-08 07:25

Oh no, don't missunderstand, we like it offensive, maybe some black and yellow angled stripes to maximise the effect.

The wood and chrome accents are definitely an improvement!

 

Retro, how would your rending look with that charcoal color replaced with a lighter gray or silver?

Here's a lighter shade of gray Paul.

They could have used your flair...instead they work in that remote control.

isolator42 - 2011-11-09 00:21

Maybe we should see this iBoomer as a blank canvas... 

ghettoman - 2011-11-09 01:02

retro,you really are underselling yourself,some design company needs to snap you up and employ you...

you took that bland,boring box and made it look like something people would want..you jave some serious good ideas..

radio.raheem - 2011-11-09 01:05

I agree...it looks much better.....but i still would.t give you a 5ver for one

blaster - 2012-01-12 13:52

i got to check out this box at j&r today...i like the feel of it... it feels like a rubbery surface guess that's good for it wont get scratched maybe...the controls seem sturdy, and the LEDs i like...didn't listen to it much because i was in a rush...but its medium small...the handle seems sturdy...the only thing i wish it had a clamp for the ipod like the innovative technologies box.. to keep it a bit more secured on the dock base...seems like the base adapter moves...i would need further testing..

brigadier.vytas - 2012-02-09 07:11

Still looks better than i931 IMO

retro - 2012-03-30 21:34

Here's a review I recently found on a blog.

 

 

driptip - 2012-03-30 22:12

I dont know but it does nothing to me, it looks like a dead boombox.

tho is nice to see that they still trying. hehehe

blaster - 2012-04-03 07:24

actually this little box screams, really impressed with the sound, i like the features and design.... for ex..on the ipod dock itself...the pin connector swivels and has a clamp bar to secure your ipod, or iphone....i bought it twice actually...but for some reason i got two defective ones...the bulbs on the mode and play button wouldnt light up when power on....i returned both of them...to me it sounds better than the i931...cleaner sound...and with a surround sound type sound...i would get it again elsewhere and i do recommend it for those looking for an ipod dock box...but i think i might go for an imt810...next...

brutus442 - 2012-04-03 13:40

This box needs iChrome around it's woofers and tweeters
