    And a boom box. Sure, phones can play music, but not at the same volume or quality as a dedicated stereo system (quality meaning the frequency response, phones just physically can’t get the low end without a separate speaker)

      That’s a good thing. You don’t remember guys walking down the street, or getting on the subway, carrying a boom box on their shoulder, loudly blasting distorted music you don’t care to hear.

      Now they just pump it directly into their ears. Let them destroy their own hearing, not everyone else’s. They make Bluetooth speakers if you need to broadcast your music to a group.

        Ha, no, now they just get in the subways with big Bluetooth speakers and annoy people with that. Boom boxes phasing out didn’t stop people from being obnoxious if they want to

      I thought so too but remembered yesterday I was working at an office they were putting back together after remodeling, and noticed they were playing music off an iPhone and it was surprisingly loud.
