Rechargeable Bluetooth Ghetto Blaster $25 In Store @ Target

1140

Would love to give credit to theearth but my wife deserves the credit here. She was looking for a gift for our daughter and found this online earlier today, and I told her I'd post it tonight on OzB. I'd totally forgotten about it until I saw the deal over at Buckscoop. Anyway, we bought one. Found a few customer reviews here. And delivery is free until tomorrow night. Enjoy :)

      • ahhh sorry i thought you meant you bought one in store

        all good :)

        Anyone already own one?

        • There's a few reviews in the link I put in the post.

    • +5

      nobody from the Ghetto ever asked about the sound quality… lol

      • -6

        nor about the colour of their teeth…

      How does it sound?

      Big Sound…

      • did you buy one JV?
        you love being ghetto

    Approx dimensions: (l)32.8 x (d)9.1 x (h)24.4cm

    • -3

      I think that's the dong size of your average ghetto gang member you're referring to there.

  • just bought one, thanks OP

    • Let's both do a review here when we receive them :)

      • +4

        will do.

        • +7

          You two are sweet. Like a bromance. :)

        • hello oz bargainers
          my mini review as promised:

          sound quality is excellent, nice bass, mid and low tones.
          build quality is excellent. The knobs and buttons have a good feel to them and the dial is very smooth. overall it feels like a decent product with nice plastic curves and tasteful set out
          connectivity is fast and accurate. its very easy to pair and i never lost bluetooth connection.
          battery life and charging are nothing to complain about
          the size of the unit is a bit large, i didnt think it would be this big.
          nevertheless that means bigger better speakers and larger battery and im completely satisfied with it

          the black one looks really classy and neat.
          i also bought a pink one that is nice for a girl.

          highly highly recommended for the price
          Target miranda has plenty of pink ones available, they are in the back left corner of the store.

          OP thank you for the post.

          hope this review helps someone

        • @tighta55:
          Thanks. Here's mine and others as well :)

    Cheers TA, needed a cheap solution for a portable speaker whilst I anticipate another deal on the Sony SRS-X3.

    • Me too (or the X5). After hearing it in store it delivers a lot of sound for a small unit. I regret not going for the last deal.

  • +2

    This thing is pretty good. Schoolkids carry them around the playground and they are damn loud. Easily loud enough for an entire house.

  • Looks a lot like the old TDK boombox

    • +2

      Actually, as theearth says, looks a lot like this one over at staxonline.

      • Yeah, looks a lot more like that one

  • +3

    Would love to give credit to theearth but my wife deserves the credit here.

    Plot twist: They're the same person…

    • Classic!

      • +13

        wonder what Francesca is thinking!

  • …and in TEAC

    • +2

      Saw that, but the TEAC takes 6x C batteries whereas this one is rechargeable.

      • good point. quite a difference.

        • Website says only 3 hours playback time from the rechargeable battery, which is not much at all.

          Can anyone confirm this, or is this maybe using Bluetooth and could be more using audio in/radio?

      • +1

        Geez, not seen anything that takes C Size batteries for ages….

        • +9

          Look in your mother's toy draw ;)

        • +1

          the jackrabbit takes 4 c's I think

    Ghetto = a part of a city, especially a slum area, occupied by a minority group or groups.

    Not very PC :)

    Kinda like Dukes of Hazard

    • Dukes of Hazzard. I spent so much of my youth watching that and never saw royalty even one.

    • +1

      Thats the American usage.
      The term originates from the Jewish quarter in Venice, which was rather prosperous rather than a slum.

      Of course a Ghetto Blaster is American, and is also ten times the size/weight of this Target toy.

      Lower-socio-economic-neighbourhood-blaster doesn't have the same ring to it.

  • +3

    great! Finally I can beat the crazy women on the morning bus that blasts her tunes from her mobile without headphones. this would be awesome on my shoulder just like old school hood boyz blasting 80's/90's classic..

    • +6

      Sound great. YouTube it please.

    • +2

      bust out some Heavy D

  • +8

    With precision rotary volume

    That's a great feature, I'm sure nobody wants too loud or too soft, it has to be spot on. :)

  • +3

    Lol its actually called a ghetto blaster

  • +3

    Now everyone can be like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!

  • +4

    What would your wife's user name be?

    • +15

      Unfortunately, she has no interest in OzB lol.

  • version with LED lights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ8_5hdcwk no idea why there's minimal sound in the video

    Damn, impulse bought.

    I have no use for this, but what a price!

    Brothers wedding gift sorted maybe.

    Manufacturer is Bush

    • is it a good deal?

    • Not quite the same model, his one has an sd card slot.

    • That video is also without video

    • +1

      Nice, I love me a bit of Bush.
      I have their BR25DAB set.

  • Nice! Got one….. Damn I wish it had DAB as well ;-/

  • Ta TA! This will go nicely sitting beside my VZ-2000 (http://classicboombox.com/sharp-vz-2000) :)

    Bought one to put in the Boot of my car for thumping music while i cruise and do laps around Bankstown Centro Shopping Mall.

    I am officially Fully Sick Cuz

    • +3

      Don't think that will past the 'Fully Sick Cuz' certification. Something like this will though.

      • I initially thought that number plate said Moey, but realised it didn't. So unfortunately it doesn't pass the fully sick certification.

  • Caved into peer pressure, brought it :( :)

    • +6

      To where?

      • To the tackle box ;)

  • +16

    Everybody who bought one: record a 5 second video of yourself walking the rough street with it boomin on your shoulder. Walk away from the camera if you're shy. Will blend the clips together with a funky beat to create the 2015 OzB Megamix that will no doubt be a YouTube chart topper!!

    • +2

      That sounds wicked haha you should defiantly do that :P

      • +12

        Wait, what is he defying?

        • +1

          Whaddya got?

        • oops.

          definitely*

      • He don't need to be defiant to do that.

      • Yeah, stick it to the Man…

    This is the kind of thing I want, but don't really need! Perhaps it's fortunate that it's sold out.

  • +7

    On a cold and grey Chicago morn',
    A poor little baby child is born,
    In the ghetto..

    And his mama cries… Mainly because the kids across the street have bought a Target ghetto blaster and she can't quite work out the economics back-to-source of a product selling for the price that they paid.

    Oh, and because the baby won't settle because of the bloody effing noise.
