Just gonna hit some simple points. Great design, a copy of an old GE boombox i actually have. Build quality isnt bad, sound quality isnt bad. I would have given sound quality 4 stars if it werent for the fact that the volume levels vary per function. So the radio and the tape functions are FAR louder than bluetooth or SD. Actually surprised by the tape deck. Im no audiophile, but i know what sounds bad, and i cant hear any wow or flutter at all from the mechanism so that was a great surprise, very decent sound quality from tape. SW functions arent half bad either concidering the antenna size. Portability also coulve gotten 5 stars instead of 4, but it uses D batteries which is kind of insane, the 80's GE its copying even uses AA'S. but of course for the money im happy with it for sure.

-UPDATE: okay so after disabling normalize volume on my phone, bluetooth volume is the same as radio and sd. Awesome. Secondly, ive been running this stereo for 8 hours a day at work, since i bought it. On batteries. 12 days ago. Absolutely awesome battery life. Nearly full volume all 8 hours. Cant even believe it. Edit again. Has to be a month later, same 4 D's. Insane.

Ok folks, here's my review. Some people were harsh on this little guy. A better quality radio alone will cost at least 100.00. I know. I own them. I think some reviewers do not remember or understand 1980s technology. They want booming bass, etc. Important lesson: Cassettes are analog! This 12×5×5 boombox was popular in the 1980s for small spaces. It will fill a room. The ad states 4 watts. Did they not read?? The sound is perfect for the price point and size. It is quality made. Not a cheapo! Sturdy, good quality plastic. Reception for am/fm is great. It has 2 shortwave bands. I am not sure if there is a DSP chip. Bluetooth pairs flawlessly. No tape tested. I don't have any. I am only using it for streaming audiobooks. It offers 5 ways to listen to music. Read the description. I am 55 years old and remember these players at most electronic stores in the early to mid 1980s. If you are my age, you will understand how it sounds! Milenials may have issues with it. It has multiple functions including an aux Jack. It's a cute memory for someone who grew up in that era. I am giving a 5 star rating due to the accuracy of the era being represented. It's not Bose, Tivoli, or Sangean. Just buy it and listen to some 80s cassettes, or stream to it. Great packaging! Cute gift! Give it a try. You can return it, anyway!

It has a delay. When comparing it to other radio this one has a noticeable delay.

Christmas present

Sounds alright for tha 2 speakers amd bass control i feel like it should be just more thump power and(bass)and bestter sound quality recording on this is not very ideal at all actually it slows down everynow n den so when ur done its slow and goes back to regular speed to often which is annyoying so recording doesn't stay at one speed like all others ive used or had but thats ok its not to bad playing cassettes actually is good isnt tha best like i said with sound quality it sounds like tha speakers aremt strong like cheap speakers but it gets it done its not too loud for 2 speakers i used to have a sony about same size with no bass control and only 1 speaker with less power that even sounds so gooddd but its not to bad radio is actually really good i love it it does record off radio and aux pretty sure it would record off USB and sd to cassette not so sure about Bluetooth thats not y i bought it and its actually really light smaller then how sum picture shows misleading but it fits in a purse thats not to small or a bag any size also not to small of a bag i use tha battery to power it and it takes 6 C battery if i remember correctly i dont use tha cord but it works with cord too jist as same as battery i prefer batterys but tha cord is really good too sound quality isnt terrible i just real like it should or could be just a lil better handle is slick! Aux works real well for mp3 or touchscreen i like mp3 better (no ads ) my lil sister connected to Bluetooth once that i know of and it had good range not to bad played toonz with same quality as radio its just casstte aound quality could be better my opinion i bought this for radio casstte and aux wuz a bonus everything else like bt Usb Sd is like add ons to me overall pretty good not to bad
