The Boombot REX 20th Anniversary Wu-Tang limited edition speaker from Boombotix is quite unique in that it comes with a copy of A Better Tomorrow pre-loaded onto the device, saving you the hassle of having to sync tracks.
People may not be buying as many physical CDs as they used to, but this is a clever way to skirt around that problem, as well as provide a novel collectible. The compact speaker is printed with the group's "W" logo and comes with eight tracks built right in. The tiny unit can be clipped to a belt or the handlebars of a bike, and operates with about 10 hours of battery life. In total, there will only be 3,000 of the limited edition speakers produced.
