Circle circle dot dot, now I got a bag that bops. A shout-out to the days when kids hoisted stereos on their shoulders, this messenger bag has all the 80's style, and twice the funk because of its built-in headphone jack that can play music from almost any MP3 player, portable radio, or CD player. Even when we were listening to tunes through headphones this bag got attention- mostly of the "Does that thing really work?" variety. But the Groove Master delivers surprisingly adept sound while simultaneously functioning as a spacious commuter bag. Fashionable, practical, and multi-tasking. You think this bag is hot? We think it freaking rocks.

Wired The ideal blend of ghetto and fabulous. Speakers emit 3 watts of decent sound. "Bass Booster" knob adds extra thump to everything ranging from Justin Timberlake to Public Enemy. Bag and speakers are water resistant. Hefting a stereo makes you feel like Radio Raheem.

Tired The 4 AA batteries needed to power the speakers. Bag can be a little heavy and cumbersome. The included iPod case isn't very snug or secure. You're not Radio Raheem.
