Minimalist Micro Boomboxes

The 'Sound + Go' Lets You Carry Big Sound Like a Suitcase

— June 17, 2013 — Art & Design
If you miss walking around with your boombox on your shoulder, Eduardo Alessi's 'Sound + Go' was made just for you. Instead of carrying it on your shoulder, Sound + Go lets you carry it in your hand to avoid stressing your aging shoulders. Though small, the speaker still has amazing booming sound so you can bathe in nostalgia while rocking out to retro beats.

The minimalist speaker was built with as few controls as possible. Instead of using cassettes or CDs, Sound + Go wirelessly connects to your Bluetooth-enabled devices. As a result, the speaker only has one button and one plug. The button is for controlling the power. Every other variable can be controlled through your music playing device.
