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

7:10AM Adrian Covert | 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 US$170 retro wonder so amazing, but I have a laundry list of reasons why the i931 boombox is one of my favourite gadgets I’ve ever laid hands on.

11:30AM Sean Fallon | 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 $US169 and it is ready and waiting for interested vendors. You can check out the full specs after the break.
