Creative’s new boombox-style speaker leans hard into 1980s streetwear nostalgia, but the real draw is that it apparently sounds surprisingly good for something under $65.

A fun throwback design with surprisingly solid sound for the price.

If the battery is decent, this kind of cheap speaker is nice for a desk or kitchen because boombox shape usually gives a wider sound than tiny tube speakers.
