The Ghetto Blaster For The iPod Generation
Ghetto blasters never really made a comeback because audio sources have moved to external devices, not to mention how ungodly they looked. So an industrial designer name Dirk Winkel (love his name) envisaged a new ghetto blaster, comfortable to wear and compatible with any iPod-like device called the Nu Blaster.
The head of the blaster provides space for a large bass speaker while the long narrow end serves as a bass reflux tube. The curved shape makes it ergonomic to sport on your shoulder while the strap makes transport easy.
Too bad it's concept only. Hit the jump for another picture.

i miss the days of boom boxes... that's when the street was pop, and had a soundtrack.
these iPod days the hits don't beat on the street, there's less nostalgic associations to songs, and people are walking thru red lights because they're iTuning-out.
that said, Hangten certainly appreciates the modern headphoned beach scene.
