Nostalgic Miniature Mobile Speakers

Mini Boombox Speakers are an Awesome 90s Playback

— July 19, 2012 — Tech
This Mini Boombox Speaker is a totally awesome throwback to the 90s. The mini speaker box attaches to an iPod or iPhone and doesn’t require wires or batteries to operate.

Featured on Fred Flare, the Mini Boombox Speaker is nostalgic and can remind buyers of the good ol' days of Fresh Prince. All bets are on that if Will Smith had an iPod back then, he would have been rocking this around town.

The speakers look exactly like the classic shoulder-baring boomboxes that used to be so popular. They are available in black and have pretty great sound quality considering their miniature size. This is perfect to stroll around town with, or to use while busting some moves with friends in the park.
Trend Themes
1. Nostalgic Miniature Speakers - The popularity of the nostalgic trend presents opportunities for innovation in designing other retro-themed tech products.
2. Wireless Audio Gadgets - The development of wireless technology creates possibilities for creating small, portable audio gadgets that provide seamless music experiences.
3. Portable Retro Audio Players - The combination of nostalgia and portability presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses catering to buyers who want to relive the glory days of music players.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry has a chance to capitalize on the nostalgic trend by creating audio gadgets with retro design elements.
2. Tech Accessories - The development of the wireless audio trend is an opportunity for manufacturers of tech accessories such as cases and stands to create products that are optimized for small portable audio products.
3. Music Streaming Services - Music streaming services can offer curated playlists for retro music fans, and also sponsor and create portable mini speakers that users can use to stream on-the-go
