The Red Ferret Journal

iPod Retro Cardboard BoomBox. We’re talking flat-packed, cardboard crafted, retro styled, battery powered, shoulder mounted, iPod dockin’ speaker system. Just don’t try gettin’ jiggy wit it in a downpour and you should be fine. Perhaps. Once the people around you stop laughing. Maybe. £19.95/$39.10.

 Despite its lowly price tag and cardboard construction, the iPod Boombox produces surprisingly crisp, powerful sonics. It’s perfect for a quick blast, particularly if you’re playing a few retro tunes or bustin’ some old-skool moves in front of workmates. We just had a dance-off down Firebox alley and it was a scream, especially when an employee split his trousers attempting a caterpillar. Or was it an elbow freeze?
