Here's another Gearlog mystery. The other day I was on my way to the train station when I found myself walking behind this guy with a messenger bag. This wasn't an ordinary bag, though; it contained two stereo speakers on each side, and what looked like volume controls underneath them. He was holding an MP3 player connected to his headphones. So, I took my Sanyo PM 8200 camera phone out and snapped a shot. What I'm trying to figure out is what the heck is this audio bag?! I know that Blogging Molly owns the Techwiz Musak Notebook Carrying Case, which lets you connect your iPod and listen to your tunes through the bag's speakers. But, this isn't it.
So c'mon Gearlog readers: clue me in on what you think this audio bag is called! Here's another pic.
(Click on the image for a larger view.) Mind you, I would've taken an even closer shot of the bag, but I didn't want this guy to think I was hitting on him (or checking out his NAS).

This girl in one of my classes has that same bag. Its more of a purse then a messanger bag. I think I have seen them at Target. Over all they are pretty bad. Cheap speakers.

You're clearly not a female who lives in an urban area, or you'd know that it's generally not incredibly smart for a woman by herself to approach an unknown man on the streets. Especially if you've just take a picture of his ass...

Unfortunately, I was also in a rush to catch the train...i actually took the picture as i was walking, so i'm surprised it turned out!

Why didn't you just ask the guy what kind of bag he has? You were, like, 2 feet from him!

Thanks to Matt's investigation, we now know that the mystery bag is Target's Beat Generation Groove Master, which sells for $70 at Target.com. Coolness!!! Mystery solved.
