    Grandson wanted a boombox and was so Happy and Excited upon receiving this for his Birthday! He's 16 yrs old and thinks that this is great! He loves it, so I love it!! He mostly uses it in his room, but could take it with him to the park or where ever he wants since it's portable.

    It does so much more than on the description. I love that it has an internal battery and you can install optional "D" batteries in the back of the radio. I got it on sale but still worth the regular price in my experience with it.

    A nice boombox is like a blast from the past. However, speakers are not of good quality, because bass is flat. A sony boombox for $99.00 has superior speakers.

    Very cool for what it is. I use it as a speaker sometimes but, it’s mainly for display purposes. The sound is alright. It’s pretty much exactly scat you’d expect from a piece this price.

    All the functions work great. Love that it’s rechargeable...doesn’t require the countless large batteries that these things used to use. Looking forward to transferring rare cassettes to digital files.

    80's child

    Got mine on sale at Sam's. I've been looking for something like this for quite a while before deciding to get this one. Not sure what all of the negative reviews are as far as expectations go. I was a teenager in the 80's and this really satisfies a niche. I can tell you that converting 3 30 year old tapes (to digital) made several people happy, especially my wife, which was priceless. Everything works as describes. The plus is the rechargeable battery. As far as loudness/sound quality, it sits in my home office about 2 feet from my ears. Sounds great. Currently listening to Snoop Dog through the Sirius App on my phone while Bluetooth connected to the radio. FWIW I haven't listened to AM/FM in many many years.

    Bought this player basically for when we are out camping. Have tried it while at home and it seems that it will be perfect for our intended use. We have many CDs and will be able to listen to them while out in the RV.

    Just bought it yesterday. Solid quality built chassis, handle bar, buttons, speakers, audio head, and all knobs. The style looks like Hitachi boombox in the year 1980s with the feel and the look. This is the best of my retro boombox collection comparing to others that I bought last year.

    Overpriced for what you get. Cheap plastic parts used throughout. Thought this radio had tweeters, it doesn’t. Looks and sounds like a cheap 80’s boom box but not priced correctly.

    quality is cheaply made. Paint was already chipping from the moment I took it out of the box but for $69.99 it was pretty decent in sound quality

    Pure 100% nostalgia. I can’t put a price on this. I was able to listen. To old cassettes, some of which had recordings of myself as a kid. Just wow. Thank you for this!
