    Bought this as a shop radio to play cassettes, and to transfer my music to cassettes. So far im pretty happy. The bluetooth works good and the sound is pretty darn good for it. I have only tried the plug and not the batteries, but i expect no problems. All the tuning knobs work and its just like a oldschool boombox from back in the days. Not quite as nice quality wise but for 40ish bucks I am more then satisfied. The only part slightly lacking is the recording function. I pair my phone with the bt and recorded onto a cheap type 1 cassette. Had quite a bit of white noise and some odd reverb issues when you play your freshly recorded cassette. On the flip side I increased the volume on the radio itself, the phone was already playing maxed out. Made a significant improvement. I expect with some nicer cassettes it would improve. However im satisfied as is. All in all I highly reccomend. I will be purchasing a second one here soon so I can leave on at my shop and one at my house. And probably just buy a third to keep as a spare. Since lets be honest, this isnt exactly a sony or tascam. But if its good enough for me to get 3 i think yall would like it

    Pint sized and nostalgic. Lots of attention to "retro" detail. I did not try to use the SD slot. I did record from Bluetooth. The result was terrible. It sounded like listening to music during a hard rain. DON'T BUY THIS TO RECORD. Bluetooth is great. Tape player is on point. The radio is very good, the the tuner is inaccurate for finding stations. You will receive all your local stations, but, they are off when tuning by the station number. Adequate bass and treble controls. The equalizer does drown out any hiss from tapes. Perfect for older Dolby cassettes. I have plenty. I am unsure how homemade tapes will sound. The sound and build are great for the price point. Do not expect surround sound, but the sound is better than I expected. It's only 40 bucks folks! Great choice for people who can grab some cassette tapes at the thrift store. Very giftable for nostalgia buffs. It's definitely a "memory lane" item!

    Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2022
    Color: BlackVerified Purchase
    First off, they don't make 'em like they used to: not even component cassette decks. This is a rare breed nowadays, so in that respect, you take what you can get. Sound quality is not especially good: turn the bass up full and the middle and treble all the way down and it's barely acceptable, but you have to expect that considering the bargain-basement price. However, volume is decent. The LED lights on the front are bright enough to light a small bathroom. The radio has good reception including the shortwave band, and the fact that it plays .mp3 files and has Bluetooth makes it worth the price. I've purchased Bluetooth speakers in this price range that don't sound any better than this thing, and it will do a lot more than just a speaker can. The cassette to .mp3 record feature means nothing to me, so I haven't tried it since it converts to only 128 kps, and I convert my cassettes and CDs to 320 kps, but I'm sure for the average person, it'll work fine. I have no regrets buying this: First off, it's retro-cool (albeit not retro-good). I like looking at it - brings back memories. Just curious about the durability. I highly recommend this if you're not expecting too much, just want something cool-looking, can use its bluetooth and cassette/.mp3 playback features on top of it being an acceptable multi-band radio. I like it.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Recording Functions are Basically Useless
    Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2022
    Color: BlackVerified Purchase
    Short version: If you're thinking about purchasing this for it's recording function, don't. The recording function does not work by any acceptable standard.

    Longer version: I bought this specifically for it's recording function. After fruitlessly scouring Amazon trying to find a tape recorder/player that would allow me to line-in audio to record onto tape, I eventually settled on this, because it had the next best thing: recording from bluetooth. This unit (as well as it's manual) claim that you can record bluetooth input the same as you would record from the radio. I used to record from the radio all the time as a kid on my old (sadly lost) boombox. SO this seemed an acceptable alternative.

    To say the results were unfavorable would be a gross understatement. Bluetooth playing through the speakers was fine, but the recording sounded like total garbage. It was quiet, garbled, and full of tape hiss. This radio gets LOUD, but if I took the recording I got and cranked it all the way, it was still awful and quiet. I don't know how to better describe it, but it was pointless. It just doesn't record properly.

    Thoughts on the rest of the unit:

    The unit itself is not of great build quality. I expected that. Though if you want to know what I mean, it is cheap plastic mostly. Feels like might almost break it by operating it. The buttons actually squeak when you press them.

    Tape player: Aside from the inability to record - the tape player is fairly functional. I tested it with a Stone Temple Pilots tape I had, and it seemed to be slow on first play. It was the middle of the tape, so I rewound it to the beginning. By the way, rewind is sloooow. Anyhow, hit play, and it actually sounded pretty good. And seemed to work fine. Not sure if the initial slowness was the player or me not remembering how the song sounded. But once I rewound and played from beginning everything sounded alright... gets me to....

    Sound quality. I noticed a lot of folks on here complain about it. I mean, they are cheap speakers, so you get what you pay for, but it has an eq, and with a little adjustment, I feel like I got decent sound out of it. If you're looking for booming bass -- probably not happening-- but for rock music, it sounded good to me.

    Blue tooth - Worked for me just fine. Flipped it to BT mode and paired with my phone no problem. Sound quality was as described above.

    Radio - only had the radio on for half a sec as I was flipping the switch. It happened to be on a station and sounded decent to me. I did not intentionally attempt to tune into anything, so how strong the receiver, etc. are, I have no clue. Only had it on FM. Can't speak at all to AM or short wave capabilities.

    MP3 playing - appeared to play MP3s from USB or SD card. I don't know who still plays MP3s vs streaming or going back to physical media, but okay. I didn't test cause I don't have a drive or SD card with MP3 floating around.

    Convert to MP3 - Also did not test, but based on how terrible the tape recording was, I don't have a ton of confidence about it.

    TL;DR: If you want to record to tape, do not get this unit. If you don't mind the lackluster build quality, this could be a serviceable tape player/radio/bluetooth speaker. For me, the search continues.

    I love the AM/FM radio, Cassette Tape player and recording option. The boom box contains it's own batttery built within the radio itself (don't need the 4x D batteries to use unplugged), but you can add extra 4x D batteries to have even more power; i love that they built a rechargable battery within the radio itself! Sound is awesome!!

    J'ai acheté ce produit pour enregistrer mes vieilles cassettes au format MP3
    mais, c'est impossible tellement la qualité du son est mauvaise.
    Il est possible de le faire avec la radio mais, ce n'était pas le but de cet achat.
    Je vais essayer de résoudre le problème par moi-même, sans garanti du résultat.
    Je n'arrive pas à trouver des lecteurs de cassettes enregistreur en MP3 de qualité.
    Je pense que le moteur est trop faible ou que le cabestan est mal réglé. A suivre

    2.0 out of 5 stars Calidad mediocre y no Stereo FM cassette

    Vino antes de lo Esperado. Pena la cassette sea con cabezal mono, el sonido es aceptable y potenete, pero para tener dos altavoces no es Stereo, la cassette ni la FM, ni en USB y SD ya lo probé. Para el precio 121,71 € me parece un abuso, con esas calidades nefastas de botones sonido etc. La Tension para los despistados viene de fabrica a 110 seria recomendable viniera a 220 y con clavija Europea o adaptador , no la americana.
