Best and worst features of the boombox: Bluetooth is the best function, Tape deck is the worst

Review by Rachel / (Posted on 3/28/2019)

The product is cute and portable, with good Bluetooth connectivity and sound quality. The radio function is also enjoyable. However, the tape deck has disappointed me. The recording quality is poor, with static and wobbly playback. Tapes recorded elsewhere also have playback issues unless directly plugged into a wall outlet. If you are primarily interested in the tape deck, this product may not be suitable for you. If you just want a fun radio, it will work well.

Goodbye to VHS tapes

Review by Juan / (Posted on 3/28/2019)

The tape player works well most of the time, but it often folds or tears the tape. However, the radio sound quality is good for the price range, and the tuner is fantastic. It can pick up difficult stations without interference. The mini card and USB features are not useful to me. The tape propulsion technology is primitive and hasn't been upgraded. I am saying goodbye to my old tapes soon.

malfunction in tape/off position

Review by Mina / (Posted on 1/28/2019)

I inserted 4 D batteries and tested all the features on the radio. After switching to the tape/off position, the radio should have turned off, but a low, faint sound continued to come from the speakers. I attempted to push other switches, but the only thing that stopped the noise was removing one battery.

Suitable for listening on its own speakers only.

Review by Preferred / (Posted on 10/23/2018)

This review has been quite challenging to write. If you only plan on listening to music or audio cassette tapes through the built-in speakers, then this machine is for you. It has a nice appearance, is well-built, affordable, and compact, making it an ideal gift for someone who only wants to listen to audio cassettes or MP3 music through the built-in speakers. However, the 4-watt built-in speakers don't provide a strong output. I was disappointed to discover that the SD card and USB flash drive slots are only for playback, not for recording. Additionally, the lack of a headphone or audio out jack was a deal-breaker for me. Overall, while I appreciate the look and feel of the machine, its limited output capabilities led me to return it, which was disappointing.

TapeTunes

Review by Matthew. / (Posted on 7/23/2018)

This product, called Riptunes, does not live up to its advertising. It lacks an AUX/Line out and a headphone jack, making it impossible to digitize audio. The USB, SmartCard, and Bluetooth interfaces only allow audio playback, not recording. It's a waste of money and should be avoided.
