Review: This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for... - First off...I've been searching for an actual 80's boombox for quite a while. When I say "actual" I mean literally from the '80s...a Panasonic, Sony, etc that was built and used in the '80s. The issue is that to find one in good shape that works really well costs around $400. I've looked at the modern Bluetooth boomboxes before but reviews were iffy and I just wasn't impressed. BUT THEN...I found this. Now this thing may crap out in a month...but at the time of this review this thing is everything I wanted. THE SOUND It sounds as good or better than the vintage radios of my childhood. The tape player works great and the Bluetooth is flawless. RETRO FEEL This thing nails it. It's substantial. It doesn't feel cheap at all. Plastics are of good quality and the knobs are fluid and smooth. Some have complained that it doesn't come with a rechargeable battery. Honestly and personally, I don't care about that. I actually like the retro experience of clunking in 6 D batteries. Again..the reason I wanted this so badly was for the retro feel and this thing delivers!
Review: Good value for the price point - Recently received and so far mostly satisfied. One of the reasons I chose this one one over others is because the unit supports type 1 2 3 and four cassette tapes. I have numerous recorded cassette tapes from yester year and most are type 2. The sound quality is decent on unit. The radio tuner works well also I have not used the thumb drive. I did notice that the blue tooth works ok but not as loud as other functions. Over all a decent unit . The user manual was straight forward and the build quality seems good

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little Boombox
*by J***I on July 3, 2022*

So after returning two other Boombox’s one really expensive I have settled on this one sound quality is OK it beats the rest that’s for sure it’s not total up-to-date sound quality but it’s just good enough made very well claims to have best cassette player in a boombox but they didn’t include Auto stop for rewind and fast-forward disappointed in that. Easy to operate pretty happy with it although I think these companies can do better with sound quality surprised they don’t put the time and energy and money into making them better but this one works for me I recommend it. If your looking for a lot of base in spectacular in the sound quality you’re probably going to need to get a Bluetooth speaker because most to all of these boom box stereos are not mean to sound very well these days just can’t get over that
