![]() Three bright LED lights near G-Boom’s front bottom indicate power, recharging, and Bluetooth pairing status. They’re tactile and easy to read, but the rubber surface they’re on feels squishy and attracts dust, unlike the rest of the unit. Almost all of G-Boom is black or gunmetal gray, save for a black rubber pad beneath the top handle that ends in a line of white-marked buttons near the unit’s front. If any elements of the design could be criticized as downmarket, they’d be the controls and lights. G-Project protects the ports with a rubberized cover when they’re not in use, versus a perforated metal front speaker grille, and open rear bass ports. #G boom speaker full#While you’ll have to self-supply an extra cable to use it, G-Boom’s USB port offers 1-Amp output, enough to fuel any iPod or iPhone at full speed, and slowly recharge an iPad. The latter plugs into a port on the back, which sits next to 3.5mm audio and USB ports. In addition to a Bluetooth wireless chip that worked flawlessly for iOS music streaming during our testing, G-Boom includes a 5-6-hour rechargeable battery, a 3.5mm audio cable, and a wall adapter. There’s certainly nothing that screams “$100” about G-Boom. Metal bars on the side look ready to attach to a carrying strap if you want to supply one yourself. A large, rubber-coated handle on top connects to the rest of the M-shaped frame with two metal pipes on each side. The result feels like something you could grab in an emergency and use to knock an intruder senseless with a single blow. It looks like a designer took the edgiest masculine retro boombox he could find, cut out the tape deck, CD player, or iPod dock from the center, then pushed the speakers closer together to achieve the shape of a hard plastic bowling ball bag. With an 11.5” wide by 10” tall by 4.2” deep chassis, laden with zig-zagging lines on each side and a combination of dark metals and plastics, G-Boom is designed to be imposing-and succeeds. ![]()
