Music aficionado's throughout the past have at one time or another owned a massively spectacular Sony Boom Box. More affectionately known as a Ghetto-Blaster in the 1980's and 1990's era. These boxes feature radio stations and dual cassette tapes for listening and recording songs from a second cassette or favorite radio tunes. Later models changed over to compact discs and could even be recorded as well for mixes for friends and loved ones.

Sony is the best known manufacturer of our version of the Boom Box for its loud yet clear volume, massive hot looks and the features that they included within the different models. You don't have to be a teenager to own one as many adults still have their classic vintage ones still in working order.

Several electronic companies started introducing their own brands of Sony's Jam Boxes within the latter part of the seventies. Stereo sound features were also new additions on the early recording radio and cassette players. People were even more aware of the Sony music magnificence when movies and music videos showed the rising culture of rap and hip-hop music as well as break dancing in the eighties.

Companies then began competing against one another as to who could make the largest, loudest, most bass sounding, most extreme flashy design and the clearest sounding box of all. In the later years price became a factor on the markets and the electronic companies took note and started a new competition in the lowest price with the best quality.

These smaller devices played cassette tapes, let you tune in to radio stations then in future years changed over to playing compact discs. The convenience of these increased their numbers in sales and the larger Boom Box versions were on a decrease. Stylish designs were added to the smaller ones as where vivid and funky colors which attracted the younger audience.

But the vintage Sony Boom Box is still coveted by many collector's, teenagers and adults who remember the one they had when they were young. These are still made today and have even more extravagant features to them. So why not take a walk down memory lane and enjoy a little of your lost childhood while listening to your favorite hot hits on one?
