What is a boombox radio?

A boombox radio is a portable audio device that combines a cassette player or CD player with a radio and typically two or more speakers. It is designed for personal use and is often carried around or transported, allowing users to listen to music or the radio on the go. Boombox radios typically have a handle or strap for easy carrying and may also include features such as a microphone, auxiliary input, and headphone jack. They are powered by batteries or an electrical outlet and can produce relatively loud sound, making them suitable for outdoor activities or small gatherings. The term "boombox" is a combination of the words "boom" (referring to the powerful sound) and "box" (referring to the physical device).
