Any modern boombox decent?

Does the Altek allow Iphone 4...i tried looking it up and it seems like only up to Iphone 3

Don't forget about the JVC Kaboom!

Yes,the Kaboom is AWESOME as well.........

Which is better Altek Lansing or Kaboom

I think the lansing has better detailed sound because it has tweeters mids and a subwoofer with a passive radiator.
The Kaboom is bassier,but not by much........
I've had both at the same time to do the comparo.......

Wow. You guys totally destroyed that question. thanks!

I have nothing else to add so I will just say this clip I saw a few years ago renewed my boombox enthusiasm.

Can anyone ID the boombox?

I think they are both CR@P!

Really, the Monster is not a boombox, it's speaker! Does the iPod lock in place? No batteries? I have speakers....why would I want this for $400?

The TDK is almost there....but no place to put your mp3 player? How do I huff it down the street? I can say from using an mp3 player and wire plugged into my blaster, that it makes picking it up and moving on a hassle. I have to tear it all down, then set it all back up at the next location OR struggle to carry it all while on the go!

NOPE!, No sir, I don't like it!

Sorry friends, I'm going to have to go with Lasonic on this one.
I'm a mobile kind of guy, and I boom the streets.

Cheers OSS

The Modern boxes I Have Had the pleasure of owning / using are the
Altec Imt-800 The Kaboom and the new Ipod Kaboom and The I-931.
I would say of all The highest on the list should be the Altec.
Great little carry along and huge sound for the size.
Very durable construction and great looks.
All around great box.
The Ipod Kaboom cranks and it is second on my list because it is kind of
bulky to carry but good construction and hits hard with good bass.
The Lasonic is third on my list due to its build quality, otherwise sounds
good with decent bass and hits pretty hard as well. And you gotta love the looks,
but fear of breaking it due to the build so it doesnt leave the house as often as my others.
My 2 cents
