The new, limited-edition Tivoli PAL BT GLO is a product that hearkens back to an earlier generation. As recently as the 80s, a portable radio was the only effective way to listen to music outside on a beautiful summer day. As the years passed, more mobile musical methods emerged, to the point where Bluetooth speakers are as ubiquitous as they are in a park in summer today. The PAL BT GLO still offers that modern convenience, but it throws back to an earlier time as well with radio functionality.
The GLO is a new edition of the PAL BT from Tivoli Audio, and it differs in look. The limited-edition version has a translucent plastic casing around it to further emphasize the 80s aesthetic that the devices carry.
