Nowadays, there are plenty of portable speakers that offer Bluetooth connection, but not many cater to physical media like CDs and cassettes. For it to be a proper boombox, it has to play some kind of tape or disk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I use a boombox both outside and inside?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since boomboxes are portable, you can use them wherever you want. They\u2019re definitely ok to use outside, but they may not fare well in inclement weather. Some boomboxes are designed for job sites and have weatherproofing protection, but most don\u2019t. You can use them indoors and outdoors as long as the weather permits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For When narrowing down the best boomboxes on the market, we considered size, price, product design, and features.
