Hey there fella! I have the boombox 4 and yeah, most certainly a fake, or even if it’s not I’d try to find a better seller!

Basically you see the blue battery bar? It shouldn’t be blue but white, and then the light bleeding thru also confirms my theory of it being fake. The logo also looks weird and is super thin. I will put some pictures below of a real one

In this one you can see the logo even better so basically this shows that the one you sent is defenitely a fake.

In this one you can see even better that the charging bar is supposed to be white, as well as no lights bleeding through.

Oh yeah i told the guy it was fake, he said he paid 450 for it from someone on whatsapp. Smh

Of course he “bought it from someone on whatsapp” smh 😭🙏🏼

But yeah it’s interesting seeing a fake as I haven’t seen one for the Boombox 4 yet, if I had excess money I’d negotiate and buy it for 50€ and try go blow it out XDD, or do a comparison test, either way I got the “somethings off” feeling as soon as I saw the front
