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

Not a bad radio for modern times. It's not the bassiest, but it holds its own. The cassette deck has a bit of audio jitter, but that is the case with any new modern cassette deck where they are all made by the same company in China. All in all we enjoy it. The only thing that bothers me is that the woofers have to have chrome-plated dust caps and the tweeters are visible through the grille. Battery life is decent, but if you leave it without a charger it will die in around 4-5 days as the…

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…

I have bought many radios that resemble the ones I grew up with. It had to have a tape recorder and either turbo bass or an equalizer. The GPO Brooklyn offered the most options, had a cassette player and equalizer, and I saw a good review of it on YouTube. I decided to take a chance. Although the price was an issue (I saved a tip from work to buy this doesn't mean I'm rich), now that I've purchased this item I'm not at all surprised at the cost. It's worth it. The manufacturer has really…

Bought a boombox from GPO 3-4 weeks ago, says it has a lithium ion battery, not nickel metal hydride and it doesn't last more than 24 charge hours. It doesn't make that much noise, it's sort of a novelty as opposed to a serious old-school style boombox. Not enough power. Many features are missing, such as the recording level. are on the unit another kind of play school or onesie, like. No noise cancellation overall, the device feels cheap but if you want something that looks like an old school…

First off, let me say I'm from a time when a giant boom box was as commonplace as an iPhone is now. So I was really shocked when I unpacked this device. I took other Revain radios advertised as 'Boomboxes' but was deeply disappointed when the package arrived. From the size of the package I knew it wasn't what I expected. When I unpacked the item, it was so cheaply made that it looked like a toy. Needless to say I would return it in a heartbeat. This 1980's style portable GPO Brooklyn Boombox…

I've put off writing this review. If I was on Youtube I would post a video of my review to give more details about it. Because I'm not here, go. A NOTICE. I think it's important that the opinion I'm expressing in my story is relevant. I'm in my 50's and grew up listening to the 80's analog music that was available and I still play more cassettes than the bad digitally compressed music we have today. In my opinion, analogue is the only way to listen to music. I've experienced what it's like to…
