With its edge of Sony Walkman-esque retro, the Audio-Technica Boogie Box series has proven a hit in its native Japan and now the latest model, the AT-SPB30, is available for overseas purchase. This funky speaker system is sturdy and well protected against drops and bangs, allowing you to boogie without fear of damage, a rarity in these delicate digital handset days. Check out the cool handle on the side too, making the portability part of the design.
Its technical specs are mouthwateringly good and the "active speaker" amplifier comes in two colors, black or yellow. It can also last for up to four hours with standard AA batteries, meaning you can dance and boogie the night away without any power issues spoiling the party!
