Modern-Day Boombox: A Large, Loud, Wearable Bluetooth Speaker
The Fender x Teufel Rockster Cross
American amp company Fender has teamed up with German audio manufacturer Teufel on the Rockster Cross, a large, loud, wearable Bluetooth speaker.
Like boomboxes of yore, this is meant to be toted around—but slung from one's shoulder, rather than hoisted on it. There's an included Fender guitar strap, and the rear side of the speaker has a curve in it to correspond with the human body.

The 30-watt speaker features two tweeters, a woofer and two passive radiators. Audio reviewers say the thing can be cranked without suffering the distortion common with other Bluetooth speakers.
It's got an IPX5 water resistance rating.
The massive battery provides 16 hours of runtime, with the trade-off being that the speaker weighs nearly 9 pounds.
These run $200.

Hmm, the barrel jack for power instead of usb-c pd seems pretty retro. Also wondering what the micro-usb-a (labelled "SERVICE") is for?
A new old way to turn a personal interest into a public nuisance. A real technological advancement would be a proximity sensor that drops the volume as the wearer approaches or is approached by others and goes to full mute in crowds.
