Now that the USB issue has been fixed, there’s nothing to stop me from recommending this other than the fact that it’s rather expensive and not for audiophiles who value clarity over power. It’s well-designed, fun, and fairly versatile.

Conclusion: We're mixed
The TDK 3 Speaker Boombox weighs in at 26 pounds, requires 12 D batteries for power if you decide that it's not too heavy to take with you, doesn't have any wireless functionality or a remote, and sells for close to $400. But it's so loud that its volume knob literally goes to 11, it can double as a guitar amp, it's got an AM/FM radio, and if you're over a certain age (or have spent too much time watching certain late 20th Century movies), you may find its retro styling irresistible.

TDK's Three Speaker Boombox is as beautiful as it is powerful, but the hefty design does not travel well.

Read the full review →There's no denying the massive TDK 3 Speaker Boombox looks good—and it often sounds very good, too—but it isn't without issues, and at 26 pounds, it's not all that portable.
Read the full review →A classy and remarkably well-made unit, that puts style before performance.
