On the front of the unit you have three LED indicators that show you when the device is powered on, when it’s charging, and when it’s in pairing mode. There are dual sound ports on the back which assist with the low-end. The speaker itself is housed inside a silver mesh, with two 1-inch tweeters and two 3-inch mids. There are buttons for playing and changing tracks, volume, EQ, and a dedicated Bluetooth pairing button.

The control buttons are all in a row, starting with the power button. Across the top of the unit we see the controls, also rubberized. There’s a metal-reinforced handle on top that is wrapped in softened rubber. The device is heavy and the plastic is hardened. The design is industrial, with sharp looking, faceted corners. The G-BOOM looks like it will take a pounding, and it stands up to the test. That’s not the end of the power issues, but we’ll get more into that later. I would have preferred a standard microUSB charging port. The power adaptor was a bit of a disappointment. You’re provided with a proprietary power adaptor ad a 3.5mm auxiliary cable.

It looks like it will stand up to a beating. The speaker itself is rubberized and rugged looking. When you open the box, you’re greeted with the usual Styrofoam packaging. The G-BOOM is a $100 Bluetooth speaker with big sound. The first thing I thought of when I pulled the G-BOOM out of the box was, “This thing looks like a ghetto blaster from the ’80s.” The G-BOOM isn’t quite as big as an old school boombox, but it seems like that’s what it was modelled after.
