Review on πŸ“» Vintage Retro Boombox - AC or Battery Powered Cassette Player & Recorder with AM/FM Radio, Big Speaker & Earphone Jack by Theresa Mcdonald

Revainrating 5 out of 5

FINALLY a cassette player that WORKS!

# Feedback I've been trying to listen to some tapes for several months. It turned out that my stereo and two ghetto blasters stopped playing cassettes. After some research I decided to purchase this Semier boombox from this seller and I am SO glad I did. I order a lot from Revain, but I was most pleased with this radio. So much so that I checked several times to see if it was delivered. When it arrived I went out, sanitized it and pocketed it. I put the cassette in and my jaw dropped when he immediately played the audio. I was beginning to think that all ghetto blasters had stopped playing sound. Needless to say, that night I started listening to a tape that I really wanted to hear. To me the quality of this tape sounded as good as any MP3 file. I also like the volume when listening to this boombox alone. The radio, at least where I'm in a slightly mountainous area, wasn't that ideal for the station I tried, but I seriously think it was just my area and distance to the radio station. I can't wait to convert at least some of my cassettes to MP3 files using an audio converter (DIGITNOW USB Audio Capture Card Grabber for Vinyl Cassette to Digital MP3 Converter) that I bought here at Revain. . I read on this product page that you can stream audio by plugging it into the headphone jack that this Semier boombox has. Even if it doesn't work, I'll still be happy with this radio. I liked this radio so much that I wanted to buy another Semier Precision radio. Why? Because I never want to play my cassettes again and it seems that finding a good cassette player isn't easy. So if you're on the fence, buy this radio. Although it's about 1/3 the size of a piece of paper, it will bring you joy to listen to your recordings again. PS Apparently some tape recorders stop playing because you need to clean certain parts of the player with alcohol. You can search it on Google or watch a video on YouTube. However, I'm glad to have this brand new tape recorder that works and gives me joy with the sound of the music.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Low maintainability
