I really like the fact that I can play cassettes on this. I hated to get rid of them and now I won't have to. I really wish this boom box had better bass, but I can't take away a star for that, because it still has nice sound. I just miss the bass that the retro boom boxes had. I don't use the short wave radio but I use the Bluetooth feature a lot. This was a good purchase and I would purchase this item again.
Good Bluetooth player with some boombox functionality

I also own the smaller Riptunes boombox that's sold here on Amazon. I bought this one in hopes that the cassette recording capability would be better than the other one, but unfortunately it seems it's not. More on that below.
The AM, FM, shortwave radio works credibly well, with good to very good reception on all bands. The biggest limitation is the tuner, which is a thumb wheel on top, rather than a knob as you typically see on units of this size. This makes it a little hard to pinpoint weak stations, but with a steady hand you can manage. Strong stations are no problem.
Bluetooth works well and pairs right up. If you put in a micro SD card or USB drive, the unit will automatically default to that when it is in "BT/TF USB" mode. Sound quality through Bluetooth and USB is this unit's strongest suit. Put some good music through it and it sounds very pleasant. And, it gets nice and loud, so you could play it at the picnic or in the backyard.
Playing cassettes works fine. They're muddier sounding than Bluetooth/SD/USB but, you know, they're cassettes. The problem comes if you try to record on this: The recorded audio sounds too "hot" and distorted, as if the automatic level control is set too high. Exactly the same problem as the other Riptunes unit. You can get a halfway passable tape recording out of it if you record a Bluetooth source and experiment with different volume settings on your connected device to find which one will give you the clearest audio, but even at best the recording you get is nothing to write home about. But, if all you want to do is play tapes you're good to go. Just as an FYI, the only currently-available boombox I know of that'll make good quality cassette recordings is the Sony CFD-S70. It's about the same price as this one on Amazon. It lacks Bluetooth/SD/USB capability but it has an Aux input so you can run other audio through it - and record it on tape if you want - that way. The Sony also has a CD (w/MP3 format) player and this Riptunes unit doesn't have a CD player, so it's just a trade-off based on what you want.
So the four-star is an average. If you want to make your own 80s-esque mix tapes, forget it, this gets one star for recording. But I give it four stars for radio and tape playing, five stars for Bluetooth/USB/SD playing.
