    I'm glad that I held on to many of my old tapes. All of them sound great on this ION Audio - Boombox! Taping is just as easy as it was in past, as well. So far, all of the built in features are working, as advertised. I'll post any follow-ups to this posting, if I encounter any problems with this Boombox - in the future.

    I was looking for something to play my children's old cassettes on for my grandson. This is simple and easy and does the job just great. Do wish it reversed itself, but I'm still happy with finding a plug in cassette player.

    I gave this as a gift for my wife. She listened to cassettes of her late brother and late boyfriend (would have been her husband) and she declared this boombox the greatest gift ever. As for the device itself, it is a great device... radio and tapes play great. We have not tried the USB ports for MP3s yet.

    Love this retro boom box. The sound quality isn't the best but it works well for my needs. I bought it more for the cassette player which works well. Bluetooth feature is nice as well.

    Purchases this for my father as a Christmas present and he loved. Technology he’s accustom from his day but upgraded with Bluetooth and other new technologies. This is not for audiophiles but it’s a great gift. Works great and sounds good for the price. I definitely recommend this product.

    Other than done manufacturing defects, switches are at angles instead of straight. But can live with that since the rest of it is great. Good sound, ease of use..and nostalgic.

    This a good cheap option if you're looking for a reliable way to play cassettes. I've had a hard time finding original tape decks that don't need significant upkeep to stay sounding nice.

    Love the fact that it looks old school, as I am old school myself. Love that I can use batteries or plug it in, it’s Bluetooth so I can play what’s on my phone or I can use the radio signal or an Aux cord.

    I purchased this radio because it had the retro look and antenna for AM/FM radio to get better signal. Quality of sound is good and wasn’t difficult to figure out the controls.

    The first one i purchased was defective and it would not work at all after a week. However Bestbuy replaced it and the replacement is magnificent and yes I am considering purchasing another one. The directions need to be carefully read but I would say that this product is amazing and for you old timers like me it is a serious reminder of the 1980 s . the audio quality is very good and it comprises the old with new like bluetooth so this is a quality product.

    This is a great retro boombox, and I love that I can copy tapes onto a flash drive for easy transfer to my computer. Very sturdy too with really good sound quality. It picks up lots of radio stations as well. Love it!

    Buttons feel a little flimsy to switch between BT, Cassette, etc. sound is good. you have quite a bit of control. It has a lot of functionality for the price. You have aux, bluetooth, memory card reader, radio, and cassette.

    This is just like one of the old school boomboxes from the 80s, but it has a build in rechargeable battery, plus it works as a bluetooth speaker! Radio, cassette player and streaming!

    When you're at the party and break out this bad boy, everyone starts talking about it and smiles. They start reminiscing when they had one in high school. Pretty cool piece. Great build, nice sound, and it plays cassettes. Retro and awesome, go buy this now!

    The sound is good quality and what you’d expect. Nothing special there. The look is definitely the best feature on this. It’s got a great look and a decent size. Biggest thing I would warn about before buying is the overall materials used to make it. It’s feels kinda cheap. Some plastics could had been a stronger material or overall a stronger plastic. I have been very careful with it but I felt it’s something that could not last if moved around a lot and taken outside. Would wear down very easily.

    This is a great radio for those that like the look of the boom box with new technology. The tape player worked with all of my old cassettes. The Bluetooth & usb playback is a great addition.

    Simple clean old school “boom box” with a few extra features like Bluetooth. I used it to play a 30 year old cassette. Sounds very good and worth the money.
