Review on πŸ“» Riptunes Cassette Boombox: Retro Bluetooth, Cassette Player, Recorder & Radio with USB, SD & Aux in - Black by Stephen Cernatescu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's perfect for you as long as you know what it is.

Don't buy this thinking it's some Sonos pocket oracle barking. This is for people who understand how a small, inexpensive radio with a cassette deck usually sounds - not surprising, but this is for sitting at the kitchen table or taking to a picnic or anywhere else. The great option is that it's bluetooth enabled, its low price, perfect size/shape and you can record to cassette from any other playback option. I haven't had any problems with the Bluetooth connection and I use it every day. weeks. My cassette played just fine, but YOU SHOULD ALWAYS INSERT YOUR TEST TAPE (don't use the one you like!) AND THEN REWIND, before pressing the play button. You should always do this with any analog device that accepts a cassette, especially if it's old and/or cheap. I've read about people eating cassettes and it probably has more to do with what they played their cassettes on before putting them in this player. He didn't eat any of my tapes or act weird. If you're looking for a cheap old-school music player like you had as a teenager PLUS the really important new-school features, get this one. before inserting them into this player.
