Victrola Mini Bluetooth Boombox with Cassette Player, Recorder and Am/FM Radio, Grey

Victrola is amazing! After purchasing one of their record players for a relative, and being blown away by it's quality and sound, I decided to purchase a boombox for myself. I have zero regrets. It's a classic design with surprisingly crisp clarity despite only having one speaker; one quality speaker. I can now enjoy a ballgame on the AM, listen to some old dusty cassette tapes, or even connect it to a dumb device. All for $50 or less.

It has a really decent weight to it, I was afraid it would feel plasticky. Sounds great. Have yet to test a cassette in it but the bluetooth and radio are decent. Worth putting batteries in.

Does what it is supposed to. Plays tapes , streams audio from Bluetooth devices and plays my AM radio (new found hobby) . The build quality is good. The tape recording quality was not the greatest (I tried recording from the radio) . The speaker sounds good enough for being tiny and front firing. Definity not the audio quality one would expect from a good bluetooth speaker (lacks depth). But i like the old school sound.

I own many cassettes at this time, but some cassettes (for example Midnights) sound a bit strange, but it is probably just the cassette due to the fact that all of the other cassettes I own sound fine. One thing is that it did kind of eat my 1989 cassette, but it was my fault cause I kept trying to play it but the button wouldn’t stay down, so I thought it was glitching, it was an easy fix btw the cassette works fine now. But AnYwAyS, it’s a great first cassette player, easy to use, just don’t make the same mistake as me. OH! and also, the headphones do not get very loud, but it’s probably cause my headphones are 10 bucks from target, anyways Tysm bye! 🦵😍🦵

Love the overall size and capacity of this radio- boombox. Good for intimate small spaces with the audio projection; like a cozy living room, kitchen, or bedroom. Of course, it wont be as loud like other portable large speakers for hosting a grand party! The radio tuning knob is a bit tricky to get to the exact precise radio station, but I'm use to this old school style of rolling the knob until the radio station is clear in audio from all the statics! (Not sure if most radio users nowadays are comfortable with this)... It's nostalgic for me! The tape cassette feature works great! All of the function buttons work; play, fastforward, rewind, stop/eject, pause, and even record! I've had old tape players in the past that couldn't produce clear audio like this boombox when I insert and play very old audio tapes. The Bluetooth feature is definitely an upgrade from an ordinary radio boombox. Simply connect the Bluetooth from your devices onto the boombox's name. My only complaint would be the headphones input are not loud enough when using earphones. If there's a remote control to switch modes to radio, tape, or bluetooth that would be awesome. However, you'd have to manually switch the different audio sources/ modes with the notches on top. If you're a fan of soft, relaxing, and comforting audio that brings you back old school style, I'd recommend this product!

Do not buy this! Just three months after purchasing it started eating tapes, distorting the sound, and finally the eject button jammed so that I couldn’t even get the tape out. Horrible!

I initially thought this met the criteria I was looking for in a new radio: aesthetically pleasing, bluetooth capable, portable, a knob for the radio tuner instead of buttons, and (as a bonus) a tape player. When plugged into an outlet, the radio does an outstanding job - the bluetooth connects without any issue whatsoever and the sound is exceptional given the size of the device. I know in some reviews others have complained that their cassette player ate their tapes, but I did not encounter this issue. HOWEVER, the radio seems to drain the batteries very quickly. If the battery life runs down even slightly, the radio basically can't be used; without full battery power, it struggles to pick up radio stations, does not play tapes at the correct speed, and won't connect to the bluetooth. If you don't plan on using this as a portable device very much, then I recommend it, but it is just not a strong choice if you won't be near an outlet.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend who collects vinyls and cassette tapes. Having owned a record player from Victrola, I trusted them to deliver a good product and was not disappointed! All of the features work perfectly and this small boombox is much louder than you would think! The size makes it perfect to carry around with you wherever you go. You can plug it in to connect to power or even use batteries and take it out for a nice day at the beach. The only downside I ran into was how hard it is to find current hits on cassette. While it is still fun to go hunting for new music, cassette tape production has simmered as the years have gone by, but this is why the bluetooth is my favorite feature. You can connect your device and stream your favorite songs without being limited to the small selection of tapes. AM/FM radio access adds a whole other channel of entertainment. Honestly, I cannot recommend this product enough (especially at this price!) If you are on the fence, I say go for it!
