I can honestly say these boxes have little visual appeal to me as they look cheap, flimsy and somewhat......well, 'less than serious' but to me but the one saving grace is the manual tuning system - no constant dink-dink-dink-dink whilst pressing buttons to search for a station.
Are these boxes stereo in tape & CD playback and is the FM reception in stereo?

I agree. I fail to understand how a Company could believe it's a good idea to make the product fit into the lowest production price and hope to make a success of sales and develop a trusting & loyal customer base.Temerenomine said:I thought thatit looks chep, but not that cheap.
Better to design a quality product then sell at a price reflecting that quality - at least your customers will be happier than if you tried to sell them a pile of pure sh1te!

He says the lights weren't working? You usually have to press something to make them work. They're not going to be on by default.
Also, if quality is your priority, get one of the big name brands like JBL, but it's going to be ugly, and it will only have Bluetooth and maybe a USB port.

Yesiree, and with the manual tuner - in a decent box - there'd be a potential market in all good ageing folk round the globe along with (perhaps) dementia sufferers longing to relive their own memories so................................"GET IT RIGHT"!!!!Lasonic TRC-920 said:Interesting that it has a cassette deck!

My suspicious mind tells me a decent box may have already been developed and held back until sales of the cheapo version have been exhausted and then, just by coincidence, a MK2 version miraculously appears just in time to save the day and secure future sales - or am I being too cynical about this?

I purchased the JBL Boombox BT speaker. It might look like a vacuum cleaner but its sound is simply amazing and its IPX7 water resistant up to one meter submerged and runs for up to 24 hours. It can also charge 2 devices simultaneously and you can connect up to 3 devices at a time. Plus if you have other JBL bt speakers you can link them all up and decide which is left and right channel.MyOhMy said:
It's a good unit if you are looking for durability and ground breaking bass in one tiny package. But you have to pay to play. $449 new. 350 used or open box.
