Bumpboxx unveils ‘80s-inspired BB-777 boombox

Bumpboxx has announced the launch of the BB-777, a portable boombox designed to combine classic analogue formats with modern digital performance.

The BB-777 is inspired by the GF-777, a boombox from the ‘80s. Developed over nearly three years, the BB-777 project required considerable engineering investment and a commitment to reviving mechanical formats rarely seen in modern audio hardware.

The boombox is engineered to accommodate multiple audio sources, including Bluetooth streaming, USB playback, CDs, dual cassette decks, radio, auxiliary input and wired headphones. The system also enables direct USB recording from tapes, CDs, or radio broadcasts.

The system delivers 270 watts of power through a multi-driver configuration, consisting of two 6.25” super woofers with independent channel gain, two 6.25” coaxial speakers, two horn tweeters, internally chambered housing with bass ports and a fan-cooled amplifier to ensure thermal stability.

The TSA-approved rechargeable battery provides up to 15 hours of cordless operation and supports interchangeable battery packs for extended sessions. The system includes a battery life meter for real-time power monitoring, while the battery requires four to six hours to recharge. In addition, multi-voltage 100–240V AC compatibility removes the need for external converters.

It also contains two wired microphone inputs with independent volume and echo controls, two built-in microphones for spontaneous recording, and a headphone output for private listening.

The system has a 4.5” dot matrix LCD display for playback status and system information, as well as removable magnetic front grilles, two screw-on telescoping antennas for radio reception and an integrated shoulder strap for transport.

“We didn’t want to make a retro speaker,” said Rob Owens, founder and CEO of Bumpboxx. “We wanted to build the boombox we grew up with, but engineered for today. Something powerful, reliable, and complete. The BB-777 is our way of proving that physical sound still matters.”

The BB-777 will be available on Kickstarter. Early backers will have access to a super early bird price before full retail availability. Campaign details and launch updates will be available on the official campaign page.
