This thing is RAD!

Such a cool system. It's a radio, tape player, and Bluetooth speaker all in one! The retro look sets this thing apart. I was born in the 80s so this stereo speaks to my nostalgia loud and clear! Not only does it look cool but it works, really well! The sound quality is good, bass is decent, and the FM tuner works great! I love the party lights that can be set to different patterns or turned off all together if you want to be heard but not seen. The only negative I have is that the volume doesn't get real loud. Probably loud enough for most, but I'd be ok if it went up a couple more notches. All in all, LOVE THIS THING!

Like stepping back in time with a modern twist

When I first saw this unit I wondered how well it would work. I was willing to take a chance for the black Friday price of $79. It is like stepping back in time with a modern twist. It works like an old boom box, but has all the new features of being a Bluetooth speaker. I love having a stereo as part of the experience and a tape player as well. The unit allows you to plug in a thumb drive and a micro SD card to play music off of, which haven't tried but it's a cool feature. The only con that I have experienced so far is that the instructions say that you can't use the unit while charging it, which seems odd. It would be nice if it allowed you to plug it in and continue to use it while it is charging. I haven't explored all of the functions of this unit yet, but I've very happy with the sound and the functions I have used so far. Also, if you're wondering, you can turn off the LED lights around the speakers if that isn't your thing. I was originally planning on taking this to work because I like it and it's a good conversation piece, but now I want to use it at home as well. So I might just have to go buy another one if they go on sale again. Being a child of the 80's, I would definitely recommend it for those of us that love through that era again.

Nostalgic Radio for Kids of the 80s

This boombox is like a blast from the past for anyone who is a product of the 80s. It is awesome!! Not only does it have the nostalgic feel of the boomboxes we grew up with, but it incorporates modern features that make it even cooler! First, the sound quality on this is great! It has bass and treble adjustment, which help enhance the overall listening experience. I love the ability to listen via Bluetooth, but also that it transmits radio and, if you still have any, it will play cassettes. I also really like that this will not shut off when, plugged in, so you can listen for an unlimited time without it turning off due to inactivity. The radio picks up and plays over the air stations with great clarity. An added bonus is the glow lights on the front, which add a stylish twist to your listening (these can be turned off to enhance battery longevity). Finally, I love that this comes with a built-in rechargeable battery, but battery life can also be expanded with D-cell batteries, if you plan to be without charging capability for an extended period of time. Love it and would definitely recommend!
