Throw out your old school iHome – it’s no longer legit. That antiquated piece of plastic and metal is a thing of the past now, which is ironic considering that the newest, dopest design is a throwback from the early 90’s. I guess they weren’t lying when they said that history repeats itself. Find out why this ghetto blaster is the next big thing.
Yes, I know these pictures are rendered, but for some reason iHome hasn’t released the official images yet. But we do have general specs: it has two 4-inch carbon composite woofers, 1-inch ferrofluid-cooled tweeter, SRS TruBass DSP, a flexible iPod/iPhone dock, an auxiliary input jack, backlit buttons, and a five-band graphic equalizer with LCD display.
Those are all the modern conveniences, now how about all the retro nonsense: it runs on 6 D batteries (or an AC adapter), has a pointlessly low-tech FM radio, comes in muted grey or a ridiculous shade of neon pink, and weighs a whopping 7.5 pounds (I’m not even gonna bother giving you the dimensions).
Here’s the kicker: it costs $200. I guess that’s the price you pay to carry around an obnoxiously large, loud music box on your shoulder. So if you wanna be a true campus badass, waste all of your parents’ money on this baby.
