Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Darth Vader Boombox's sound quality and find it to be a good value for its price, particularly appealing to Star Wars fans. Many appreciate it as a fun toy for children, although some experienced issues with the walkie-talkie functionality. The walkie-talkies' range and durability were frequently cited as areas for improvement, along with battery life and static interference.

    Batteries were dead even when I just pulled the tab for it to work. Just made a funny noise. Not worth the money.

    I got this as a Christmas gift for a child, but the “try me” button wouldn’t turn off and the boom box made a horrendously loud clicking noise every two seconds. There was nowhere in my house I could put it without hearing it so I ultimately took it back and returned it. The only way to disable the “try me” button was to open the box, which I didn’t want to do seeing as it was a Christmas gift.

    only 4 phrases, not even real vader voice. You can understand anything you say using the voice change feature because of the non stop breathing sound being made. I get it, the breathing is iconic but you couldnt make it stop while you were talking? I wasnt expecting much but even that was too high of an expectation.

    This product did not work well. There is a lot of static in the walkie talkie and you can hear when someone presses the button to speak. I thought they would be great Christmas gifts for my nephews, so I pushed two. I would not recommend purchasing these.

    The Grandkids really like Star Wars and the was a gift. They like the walkie talkies to play with but barely any signal from room to room in the house and the voice changer doesn't really sound well, kinda garbled.
