Review on Victrola VBB-25-SLV Silver Mini Bluetooth Boombox with Cassette Player & Recorder, Am/FM Radio by Robert Prix

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheap and easy way to finally use my cassettes

Sound just ok not great. This is an inexpensive single speaker deal, that's to be expected. It's small, but I'm giving it one star for portability simply because it requires D batteries or a cord and outlet - no way to charge. The fact that it has bluetooth, batteries or a cable makes it a home appliance and most people have a better bluetooth speaker than this one. I find it aesthetic, retro, etc. and it has a USB plug. And an AM/FM antenna if you need NPR or sports radio. Despite its shortcomings, this is a practical way quickly play one of my many unused cassette tapes. Hundreds of large/rare tapes remain intact. I have a habit of picking up a few each day to listen to while sitting on the couch and doing other random activities around the coffee table. The new cassette listening pleasure is definitely worth the low price and easily outweighs the aforementioned disadvantages, which is why I give the little thing five stars. 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥
