This new boombox by jWIN has all the requisite features of your standard boombox: CD player, tape deck, and AM/FM radio. There’s also a built-in microphone so you can make your own voice recordings, but where are you going to get the blank tapes in order to do that or to record off of the CD or radio? I mean, as it is Maxell has already even stopped making blank CDs, let alone a cassette tape. So I can see the tape deck only being useful for playing whatever pre-recorded tapes you still have around.

jWIN however, has brought this boombox into the present by including a USB port, an AUX input, and an SD/MMC card slot. So that’s four total ways you can listen to your digital tracks; using an mp3 CD, any device with a headphone jack, a SD/MMC card, or a flash drive. Now if this thing could somehow also play HD radio and had a little TV instead of the tape deck, getting it would be a no-brainer!  Still, this would be a fun thing to bring to your next picnic or barbecue. The price is $59.99, and it’s available in your choice of black, green, or orange.
