    Amazing throwback to the 80s/90s! Listen to this at work every day. Speakers aren’t super high quality but they get the job done with little/no distortion.

    I am pleased with this purchase for my daughter. She is easily able to tune in her favorite LA radio station when she is visiting at my house in San Jacinto.

    My wife and I saw this when we were walking through Best Buy. I immediately stopped, grinned, and remembered my past. This boom box is amazing. A blast from the past with a touch of the present (ie. Bluetooth). Love it!

    I love how they incorporated blutooth, recording from cassette to a thumbnail. That’s the main reason I made the purchase. I highly recommend this to anyone.

    Functions just like the boombox from the 80s but includes modern technology like blue tooth capability and a usb port. I like the flexibility it provides to record from different devices.

    I researched for the best boombox. This is by far the best available. Great price, features, size. Don't hesitate. Mp3 quality was as as expected. Easy to use.

    I have been looking for a simpler way to convert my old tapes to digital. This not only does that well (and it is very easy), it looks great and sounds good too!

    I went to high school and college in the 80s. I bought this because it looks liked a great replica of an 80s boombox. This one from Ion sounds ok. I play my old tapes on it, and it does fine. The sound quality is average. Overall quality of the product is average...maybe slightly above, but my sister had an old Sony back in the day that would have put this one to same. Much better sound. This was a bargain at $80, but there is no way I'd buy this at the listed price of $140.

    Awesome buy. Very nostalgic feeling. Love the fact that it has Bluetooth and you can also play it from a thump drive. Build quality is average.

    This takes us back to our youth with the added bonus of today's technology. We love it and our only regret is that we didn't buy 3 when we caught the sale!

    Got this for my Dad as a gift. He loves it! He still has his tapes. Sounds good. It's not like the old school boom boxes but it gets the job done. Just seeing his smile and playing his tapes is well worth it to me!

    This is an excellent replica of a legit boombox from the 1980s! It has a cassette deck and radio built in, but also functions well as a bluetooth speaker as well. It also takes jump drives.

    Bought this for my son. Great service. Great product. Best Buy Pentagon City Sales/Management Staff are phenomenal and personable, reasonable, knowledgeable. That wasn't always the case and it feels good to see the entire store come back to live with great energy, under great management, and willing to listen to customer feedback. Ayo (store manager), Kathrina (manager computers), Chris (co-manger), Mahlet (Geek Squad), Atzede (my sales consultant): great! I will keep going back to them and will continue to take my business to them.

    It’s a retro fit radio that works as expected. The price isn’t the most ideal when you consider using it for transferring your beloved tapes to digital, you can get a cheaper alternative.
