lasonic i931

[Browner59]

Although not an oldschool beatbox, the lasonic i931 was designed to look like from the 80's. I was looking into lasonic but dont know much about boomboxs and was wondering the quality of this one. Also is there a difference between the i931 and the i931x

welcome to the site the i931 is a good box only gripe never let it sit in direct sun light the plastic decals will melt other than that its a good buy

The i931 takes older ipods, the x takes newer models such as iphone and itouch.

Thanks alot, everyone. Ya im a newbie in the boombox world and have just been looking at reviews all morning untill it led me here. Im in university and would like and older school one, but am looking for somewhere to start. Any other recommendations on boomboxs would be great.

Hi Browner..

Its all about what you like...

Old Style super cool boxes are big fun, big cost and possibly big running costs (if you are not ready to dig in and get dirty).

If you need iPod playback then the Lasonic is great but I think the fake dials and decals are a bit cheap (but over in the states they are LOTS less money than over here, so you might be getting what you are paying for).

The new TDK is wonderful, but EXPENSIVE, and the Altec Lansing is brilliant (bit not really old school), and JVC NB70 (Kaboom) is great.

It it were me I would get the Lansing (if iPod really matters) as it kicks ass for sound.
