- Reviewed in Canada on May 2, 2021I'm going to give this a honest fair review, and answer the questions I had before I bought it so you can be informed before you buy
The build quality isn't amazing but it's not awful considering its price. It's cheap plastic, the knobs feel cheap, but I wouldn't say flimsy.
The adjustment for the bass treble and mids makes very minimal difference, the sound quality is straight up mono. But for a 60 dollar boombox in my honest opinion the sound is decent. I'd rather this than a boring old Bluetooth speaker. But the hiss at all times is really annoying at low volumes, at regular volumes you don't notice it.
The retro look is awesome, showed both my mom and dad and they both felt nostalgic, for that it's really awesome.
The Bluetooth quality is good, the radio gets good reception, short wave....I mean? But anyways it's there if you wanna use it. Tape quality playback is about the same as Bluetooth quality if it's an original tape, the recording onto tape is straight up garbage. My original intention when I bought this is to convert digital to casette, but the moment you try and record anything onto tape you notice how crappy it is. It records from the microphone, and since it already has just decent sound quality, The microphone will worsen that quality and it will feel as if your listening to music recorded from Windows media player in the early 2000s. It's that bad.
My advice, if you want a cheap little player to have a nostalgia trip, by all means. The size imo is perfect, and has decent sound quality for the price. But recording is awful and I still haven't figured out how to go from casette to usb. Also, the rewind is in the fast forward position and vice versa, which is really annoying, like why?
Look in your local classifieds and pick up a casette Deck like I did, record your tapes the proper way, and use this little boombox on your balcony or garage and you will enjoy it for what it is. It doesn't deserve the harsh reviews it gets. Hope this helps some of you.
