# Album-Integrated Speakers Boombitix' Limited Edition Speaker Comes Loaded with Wu-Tang Songs By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-10-04 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-speaker References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/02/wu-tang-album-speaker/) & [store.boombotix](http://store.boombotix.com/collections/boombot-rex-wireless-speakers/products/boombot-rex-wutang-20th-anniversary) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celeb Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebproducts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Limited Edition Collectibles:** The integration of pre-loaded albums into speakers provides a unique and collectible experience for music enthusiasts. - **Convenience in Audio Devices:** Providing speakers with built-in albums eliminates the need for users to go through the process of syncing tracks, offering a more convenient and hassle-free experience. - **Compact and Portable Audio Solutions:** The compact size and portability of album-integrated speakers make them ideal for people on-the-go, such as cyclists and those who prefer to carry their music with them. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Incorporating pre-loaded albums into speakers creates a new market segment within the consumer electronics industry, tapping into the demand for unique and convenient audio devices. - **Music and Entertainment:** The integration of albums into speakers provides a new way for music and entertainment companies to promote and distribute their content, while offering consumers a novel experience. - **Retail and E-commerce:** Selling limited edition album-integrated speakers can be a lucrative opportunity for retailers, both online and offline, to cater to music enthusiasts and collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Sonic-Optimized Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newordinary-songbook-max-speaker.md) - [Luxe Compact Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-beats.md) - [Music-Focused E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noordung-boombox.md) - [Bear-shaped Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-collectible-toy.md) - [Lunar New Year-Inspired Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emberton-iii-speaker.md) - [Singer-Honoring Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ob4-speaker.md) - [Collaborative Audio Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiaiai-and-brain-dead.md) - [Airship-Shaped Limited Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeppelin-speaker-1.md) - [Collaboration Auto Brand Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bowers-wilkins-zeppelin-mclaren-edition-speaker.md)
