Boom Box History

Music is often heard as a huge part of peoples life's. A lot of people say they couldn't live without it. Then again if you think about it music has been played for since, well who knows. Its played for pleasure, cultural reasons, and listened to in so many other ways. One way/technology for playing music personally was the boombox. The first personal stereo to ever exist. Everyone was saying how they wanted a personal radio experience. Right away Panasonic, Sony, Marantz, and GE were jumping on the idea of selling this product.

It was very small compared to the boom box. It had buttons like play, Paws, volume, menu, and a headphone Jack. They are originally $100. When tested they were made secret. It was finally announced in the auditorium in Cooper tone. Wasn't a big hit at first like I said. So the spin-off was honestly really small. It wasn't until further updates when it peaked at its popularity stage. And then it had more accessories that just kept on coming. Sooner or later the whole economy formed around it. When started to die down it was because people started listening to music on their phones
