Review on 📻 Get Groovy with the GPO Brooklyn : 1980s-Style Portable Boombox with CD/Cassette Player, FM Radio, USB & Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - Silver by Andrew Roberts

I'm not an audiophile and I would say if you are an audiophile you probably aren't in the boombox market. As a GenX, I have very fond memories of these sound systems and the GPO certainly looks the part. I bought this for my teenage son whose audio experience has so far consisted of Bluetooth headphones and a tablet or phone. It liked the retro factor but immediately took on the same role as the exercise bike my wife bought me a year ago. Looks great and that says it all. I don't use a bike. The boy doesn't use the boombox. So I took it for myself. My kids have never seen a cassette deck. I went to them to play Whitesnake and nothing, no light, no sound. The boy left it unplugged and unused for weeks. I asked him to bring an AC adapter and he looked at me like I was speaking Latin. After understanding what I was asking, his answer was very clear. He lost it. Here is part of a satisfied customer. So for now because my sons lost the power cord; (We watched for hours, boneless.) I turned to the GPO and explained that MY boom box is now practically a big silver brick. I asked if they could recommend an alternative power supply or if I could get a replacement from them. A week later I received a package and lo and behold, a new adapter from GPO. No replacement costs, no shipping costs. I am very happy. Happy with GPO. Happy with MY Boombox. Happy with the sound. I'm still not that happy with my son. Or, since my kids don't like Whitesnakes, "Slow and Easy". Big fan of GPO Brooklyn.
