Riptunes Boombox Radio Cassette Player Recorder, AM/FM -SW1/SW2 Radio, Wireless Streaming, USB/Micro SD Slots, Aux in, Headphone Jack, Convert Cassettes to USB/SD, Classic 80s Style Retro, Silver

I haven't added video because I think the ones already up are quite accurate. So if that looks good to you for the price then go right ahead. Once I got the unit I put an old Stevie Wonder cassette from 1980 I bought at a charity shop a couple years ago but never played. Everything sounded great - similar to a classic Sanyo or Technics unit from those days. The radio is 100% legit just like a unit from 1982. If you like listening to games on the radio then this will work much better than a clock radio. Heard some hip hop on a college radio station on the FM dial sounded crystal clear perfect stereo. Also has all the blue tooth functions and USB so you can easily plug a CD-R player in to listen to CDs. I put 4 D batteries in for the old school appeal and it fired up like Back To The Future. Love this thing. Was going to buy the silver one but I decided someone else should have it for a holiday gift. maybe next year I'll get an upgraded model! EDIT: HAD IT FOR A MONTH NOW NO ISSUES 4 Ds still pumping tunes getting the game nice also bluetooth connection is very strong and in stereo. Great sound. Tape deck is fine too. I don't digitize old tapes can't review that. But I didn't want that - honestly if you have super rare live cassette tapes that need to be digitized because of sentimental value don't get this, just go to a local audio dealer they can help you in fine style. That old New Edition mixtape from 1983 you want to play? guaranteed Amazon music can hook you up with a nice 70s or 80s mix if you ask nice

I LOVE my Riptunes radio. I mainly use the USB port, Bluetooth streaming and regular radio. I have not used the Tape deck yet, I plan too sometime in the future, but as of now I cannot speak to its quality. The memory card slot has not been used either. I use my Riptunes while taking a shower (NOT IN THE SHOWER WITH ME!!), And use it regularly outside when doing yard work or tinkering in my garage. The sound is very good. There is no booming bass, which is fine for my 55 year old ears, but it is balanced and has a nice quality. Plenty Loud. Has nice weight. Doesn't feel overtly cheap. The chrome plastic is a little Meh but not a show stopper. An easy 5 star rating for me...rounded up from a 4.9899376599416 star rating.

Radio was fine.

Right off from the beginning I think I should come with recharge batteries and the one think that the one think that it should be a must but it doesn’t come with. The tune in bar is does not light up. So far like it said this is a kool thing to have in your house or even work area. I ended buy a four set of D batteries for my boombox and I can say it’s amazing now

I wanted to digitize cassette tapes. This product does that but it's not very good at it. First you pretty much have to digitize to a USB thumb drive. The radio will not send the digitized music across a USB cable directly to a PC. Second, you have to time the pressing of buttons just right. You have to insert the thumb drive and then start playing the tape and only then does the USB digitize button become activated so you press immediately. If you press before the button is activated, you get no recording. If the button is not activated until after your tape has played a few bars, you may just have to accept losing the beginning of the song. Third, the tape drive appears to be weak and is certainly a bit noisy. I made a number of digitized songs that had several minutes of half-speed recording. I tested the tapes on another tape player and they played fine. Fourth, the volume of your digitized recording is set by the volume at which you play the tape. To get a decent digitized recording, I had to play the tapes at a really loud volume which could be heard throughout the house. I set up the tape player in the basement bathroom and muffled the sound of the player with towels and blankets. But I had to give up the bathroom and now anywhere else I do this, I'll have a problem with the sound permeating the house. So, yes, I can apparently digitize cassette tapes but it's difficult to get a good recording and it's a terrible pain in the ass. It took me more than 30 days to figure this out, so I am pretty screwed. My research suggests the entire class of tape players that claim to digitize cassettes are no better. Good luck.

Epic Boom Box, it’s as advertised by seller. This Retro Boom Box comes Alive! I have many 80’s Mix Tapes to play on my new Musical Toy. Modern Rock Heaven….reminds me of days of old.

This boombox made my day. It’s not heavy and the sound quality is great. I love that you have the option to use a plug or put in batteries for on the go. Highly recommend this product. Picks up radio stations easily too.

This boom nox looks cool and retro, and my daughter loved "the vibe". The radio and cassette player work well, but one of the main reasons she wanted it was to record mix tapes. The Bluetooth feature would enable her to record her favorite tunes from Spotify and on line playlists. However, as others have said truthfully, the recording quality is terrible. Really, with all our technology we can't do better than 1985?? The recording quality is way worse than 1985 - barely audible through the static. If that's what you want this boombox for, look elsewhere. Great idea, poor performance.
