$249 on Amazon atm. If it looks as good in person as it does in this video, I'm going to love the black version. Also, it appears the VU meters are back-lit. Too bad the tuner doesn't have a light.
New boombox in 80's retro style with radio, cassette, cd, usb, bluetooth, line in, mic in.

Wow. How does it get from $880 from an overseas vendor I don't really trust to $249 from the largest "trusted" vendor?

Boomus Fidelis
The $880 version has a remote and a rechargeable battery
Also Alibaba is full of shady small-time players who set whatever price they dream about getting

Very interesting. I never knew about the remote and rechargeable batteries. I saw the price, laughed and didn't go any further.
I opt more for the shady individual who set the price high hoping someone might come along. The reason I say this is because I can't see how anyone could justify a $650 dollar increase for a remote and rechargeable battery alone.
I wonder if the remote IR receiver and battery charging circuit is present in the low cost model?

Friends, I have already written all this. Please read carefully.
There are only two versions with remote control:
7 version: Orion SCR-B9
This version appears in Japan in 2023.
It is a clone of 2 version: Medion Life MD 44238, without a DAB tuner.
Apart from a different color scheme, the new version have a remote control.
10 version: LEOTEC LT-BT600RUC
This version appears in China in January 2025.
It is a clone of Leotek LT-CD1908BUCT.
There are 3 different colors: red, black and gray.
This version have a remote control and built in lithium battery - 5200 mAh.
Other versions don't have a remote control.
I guess, they don't have a receiver and you cannot buy a remote control.
As we commented before, there is an additional compartment in the back case
where you can put a rechargeable battery. This is a possible custom upgrade.
Honestly, anyone who's ever purchased a used boombox that originally came with a remote control knows how rare it is to have it come with the remote when sold used. They almost always gets lost over the years. My point being that having a remote control may seem great at first, but it's almost a surety that it will eventually get separated or lost. Even the Toshiba wireless boombox that has a pocket for the cassette key wireless are often lost, not to mention all those other boomboxes with remotes that don't have a dock.
