Wont trust Retro Stuff anymore
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only reason I purchased this item was the FM/AM function But a few days before the manufacturer warranty expired the radio stoped working so i contacted them they opened a case but I have to pay for the shipping and the shipping fee is more than what I paid for it.

Pathetic
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item is plasticky, built on the cheap, and sounds like a can. Like, the sound is so atrocious. I bought this assuming that it would somewhat sound like my JVC boom box from the 80’s. Boy, was I wrong! Not recommending this to anyone.

Not recommended
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build quality is good. That’s it for the good. The left speaker has this white noise on every mode. It’s annoying. Recording to cassette is too finicky. And the quality is horrible. Not recommended for anyone looking to get a good cassette player.

Radio and streaming are fine, garbage cassette.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a radio and Bluetooth streamer, it does the job. If you want to use it with cassettes, don't buy this. Destroyed a cassette upon first use within the first 15 seconds. Broke the ribbon on the cassette. Other functions are fine.

Poor fit and finish
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If it was just for the nostalgia of it I would gladly give out 5 stars but the sound quality is not at all up to par with what is on the market these days. Bass and treble are adjustable but the speakers are lacking big time. The fit and finish of the knobs and buttons are way off and all over the place. The sound meters are just for looks I'm assuming since they only work if you crank it up but then the speakers distort so bad it doesn't matter. There are tons of ways to listen to music with this boombox though, this is a big plus but I can't see this being a primary speaker to listen to. This does though bring me back to the ghetto blaster/boom box days, walking down the street with it on my shoulder and full of D batteries, just cranking out my favorite tunes. Poppin out some cardboard to try and duplicate the totally radical moves from "Breakin". Haha those were fun days and this "boombox" brings me back. For that it's worth the buy and cool to see on the shelf. If you are looking for a quality Bluetooth speaker then I would keep looking, but for a vintage looking speaker that you can even pop some old tapes into, this is it. I dusted off some old tapes I've kept boxed up all these years and enjoyed many memories.

Looks good. Doesn't sound like it.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It looks good. It almost looks like the old school Panasonic ghettoblasters but that's it. The cassette player has a weird hiss that is very audible. The audio isn't great. I had to return the unit.

Boombox Review
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I expected more from this Boombox. Although it has a lot of nice features the sound quality just isn't good enough.

Low quality and not very useful.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this boombox for my doughtier. For all it's size it does not come with rechargeable batteries and the audio quality is mediocre at best. We bought magnetic cassettes tapes trying to make a good old fashion mix tape - but the recording quality is absolutely terrible and practically unusable. All & all, it's a waste of money unless you buy it as a design item for the "old fashion" look.

Junk
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible. Bought it primarily for the cassette feature. Popped in an old cassette that I wanted to archive and I could barely hear it. Tried two more cassettes and they sounded worse and then it just stopped working all together. No rewind, no fast forward, nothing.
