Doesn't sound good but looks cool

I spent an extra $10 not to get a yellow one, they sent me a yellow one. In general, the sound quality was not impressive, there is not enough bass. It looks good and is a cool little novelty. Lots of features, can't complain. If you like it, get it, but don't expect it to sound amazing. Plus, it's only about 12 inches.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Secret

Cool looking, great sounding

These ghetto blasters remind me a lot of how they were actually built in the 80's so I don't find them cheap. The speaker is not outstanding quality, a little disappointing in sound quality. I would also urge you not to run the tape recorder for a minute or two before inserting the cassette. I didn't and it ate the first cartridge I put in, but it's been working fine ever since. If this boombox was $10-20 cheaper I would probably buy a second one and give it away.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Fell into disrepair with unwillingness to replace. I do not recommend.

I bought this tape recorder for my son for Christmas and within a month he started shredding the cassette intermittently. In mid-March, he ripped out all the cassettes that were playing on the device. When I contacted RipTunes I was dismayed that they wanted to charge me for a replacement, although they admitted this was unusual and incorrect behavior. I have expressed disappointment with this and there has been absolutely no effort on the part of the companies to fix things. Since RipTunes…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Vulgarity

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 it's for sitting at the kitchen table or taking with you to a picnic or anywhere. 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 use it every day. weeks.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll text back later

If you are 50+ then this is for you!

Alright guys, here's my review. Some people were hard on this little guy. The best quality radio alone costs at least 100.00. I know. i own them I think some reviewers don't remember or understand the technology of the 1980s. They need booming bass, etc. Important lesson: analog cassettes! This 12×5×5 boombox was popular for small spaces in the 1980s. It will fill the room. The display shows 4 watts. Haven't they read? The sound matches the price and size. It's made with quality. Not cheap…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
