Have that stuff looks like duplicatous audio reproduction technology and what’s in my pocket doesn’t sound nearly as good as that boom box likely does.
Also that thing in the right looks maybe like a radio and there are streaming emulators, but still no actual radios in most of our pockets unfortunately.
I had an Nokia, my last “featurephone” before I got my first smartphone, which actually had an FM tuner built-in. It used the headphone wire as an antenna as far as I recall. Quite neat, not that I ever really used it, but it was perfectly serviceable. And a great way of having music on the go in the days before streaming music was widely available.
The freedom to carry your DRM free music tapes around with you and easily lend them to your friends is sadly not in my pocket.
And now we are pining for the old days again.
Speak for yourself. I’m looking to spruce up the future.
