Gift advice: music player

Post by Noah »

hey what's the thing for young people right now to play music in their bedrooms. Like back in the day I remember an aunt gave me a boombox with a tape player in it and I thought that was pretty cool. I was thinking a bluetooth speaker, but they seem kind of boring. Kid is 12 and has a phone. What do?

Or a bluetooth adapter with a mini plug that runs into the input of an old-school stereo system.
