We took a look around and said that the 80's were over. Yet we looked again and we weren't too sure on that anymore because we saw the Limited Edition Lasonic Rap-Up i931 Boombox, a piece of audio technology that rules supreme when it comes to bling and show-off. We're talking about a large and almost ridiculous ghetto-blaster that's been upgraded to work with all the modern gear that didn't exist back in the glory years of the boomboxes. And if you feel like partying once more on your patio or in some dark alleys, the Limited Edition Lasonic Rap-Up i931 Boombox is by far one of the best choices.

The Limited Edition Lasonic Rap-Up i931 is a huge audio station that looks like any other large-scale old cassette player... but instead of the old tapes, this one will play an iPod.  

The large speakers can deliver quite a blast as their max power reaches 12W RMS each; this won't shake your neighbors’ windows but will be just enough for great audio spread over a small surface. This boombox comes with separate bass and treble controls, volume indicator and EQ adjustment allowing you to get the best sound in any location. You can play back MP3 music from USB and SD/MMC storage as well as from your iPod; your Apple player will also charge as it plays, and the full-function remote will put you in total control. The additional video output will also let you enjoy movies on a third-party TV.  

The Limited Edition Lasonic Rap-Up i931 Boombox comes with an AM/FM tuner with RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System) capability and sporting a 20-preset memory for each waveband. The LCD display will offer you various data such as time, alarms and sleep, adding on the comfort side. While sporting an auxiliary input allowing you to connect any 3.5mm audio source to the Limited Edition Lasonic Rap-Up i931 Boombox, this sound machine boasts headphones output and a karaoke system: you get a microphone input with both volume and echo adjustments to help you sing along with your fav artists.  

You can power this boombox using either AC or batteries; we remember how big and heavy were the battery-loaded boomboxes some 20 years ago and hope technology has managed to seriously reduce the power consumption... or you'll have a hard time carrying this boombox on your shoulder. Now, if you plan some block parties for the spring, fork out $189.99 (limited offer) and grab the Limited Edition Lasonic Rap-Up i931 Boombox.
