Nice job :)

First off, this is only a $40 boombox. I’m not sure what anyone else expects, but for the money this is an incredible value. I have had this for 2 years and it’s still going strong. So, I have no complaints at all. To be able to play so many formats like MP3, cassette, shortwave, AM/FM and have multiple recording options is fantastic. Is the sound great? No. But it’s decent enough for private listening or just being out in the beach. One thing that has not been mentioned in the reviews, is this QFX has a tiny pinhole in the back so you can adjust the wow and flutter speed on the cassette player, which I did have to do whe. I first purchased this. That’s a nice feature! If you’re looking to start listening to cassettes, this is an excellent entry level player.

Can record cassette to USB. Digitalizing my collection. Sound output is loud and clear.

I wanted to use the product to record samples of singing and guitar playing as practice for an album. The cabinet is very attractive and encouraging. However, there is a lot of cassette tape noise on playback. The overall sound is tinny and thin and overly sharp even ofn bass settings, with no warmth at all. it seems that new CD player/recorders must generally have much different inner parts than the ones from the 1990's etc. So this product could work for normal talking fairly well but not for music, including top line professional recording on cassette tapes

I love mine. I had bought one before in black but I took it on a camping trip and it had fallen out of the back of my truck with some luggage unfortunately, but I missed it so much I bought another in red. The Bluetooth feature is excellent and easy to use, but I love listening just to the FM radio on it, and I have an extensive cassette collection. The cassette playback function is not as good as a tape deck, and might run slow or warble a bit more than a Walkman, but I still will use it. Sound is perfectly acceptable but it is NOT bass heavy, which I don’t mind at all for passive listening. I get all kinds of comments and compliments on the 2 I’ve owned. People think they’re so cool, and much less boring than those can Bluetooth speakers. I have a Sony boombox from the 90s as well, but I always grab the QFX first because of the tactile experience. I like the feel of the clackity switches, the knobs, and tuning the FM by hand. The handle looks cheap but is actually a study metal piece that I enjoy holding as opposed to other radios made of plastic or rubber. Highly recommend for EVERY day listening, but not for hifi enthusiasts or people who want to blast bass heavy hip hop. I take mine with me everywhere.

Bought this as a shop radio to play cassettes, and to transfer my music to cassettes. So far im pretty happy. The bluetooth works good and the sound is pretty darn good for it. I have only tried the plug and not the batteries, but i expect no problems. All the tuning knobs work and its just like a oldschool boombox from back in the days. Not quite as nice quality wise but for 40ish bucks I am more then satisfied. The only part slightly lacking is the recording function. I pair my phone with the bt and recorded onto a cheap type 1 cassette. Had quite a bit of white noise and some odd reverb issues when you play your freshly recorded cassette. On the flip side I increased the volume on the radio itself, the phone was already playing maxed out. Made a significant improvement. I expect with some nicer cassettes it would improve. However im satisfied as is. All in all I highly reccomend. I will be purchasing a second one here soon so I can leave on at my shop and one at my house. And probably just buy a third to keep as a spare. Since lets be honest, this isnt exactly a sony or tascam. But if its good enough for me to get 3 i think yall would like it

I’m at about a 3 1/2 stars with this unit. I got it to play my new found hobby of finding and playing cassette tapes. Everything works on this unit like the BT, usb port, onboard battery, and D-cell batteries. Unfortunately, I was listing to a tape by the pool in Oklahoma when it was 98 degrees outside and the sun/heat melted the stickers in the radio dial area (not sure what it’s called) and the front sticker. I was super bummed. Now when using the radio and searching for another station it gets stuck on the sticker and I have to fight it :/. So quality is the reason I knocked the starts primarily (but it’s partially my fault I guess?). It’s super portable as well, I just throw it in the truck when I go to the lake and it’s plenty loud! Buttons work as they should and the color was as expected. I WOULD buy it again, baby it, and keep it away from the sun during the summer time. Get one! 🤙🏼

tres contente

Un buen estilo retro y funciona muy bien

Short version: If you're thinking about purchasing this for it's recording function, don't. The recording function does not work by any acceptable standard.Longer version: I bought this specifically for it's recording function. After fruitlessly scouring Amazon trying to find a tape recorder/player that would allow me to line-in audio to record onto tape, I eventually settled on this, because it had the next best thing: recording from bluetooth. This unit (as well as it's manual) claim that you can record bluetooth input the same as you would record from the radio. I used to record from the radio all the time as a kid on my old (sadly lost) boombox. SO this seemed an acceptable alternative.To say the results were unfavorable would be a gross understatement. Bluetooth playing through the speakers was fine, but the recording sounded like total garbage. It was quiet, garbled, and full of tape hiss. This radio gets LOUD, but if I took the recording I got and cranked it all the way, it was still awful and quiet. I don't know how to better describe it, but it was pointless. It just doesn't record properly.Thoughts on the rest of the unit:The unit itself is not of great build quality. I expected that. Though if you want to know what I mean, it is cheap plastic mostly. Feels like might almost break it by operating it. The buttons actually squeak when you press them.Tape player: Aside from the inability to record - the tape player is fairly functional. I tested it with a Stone Temple Pilots tape I had, and it seemed to be slow on first play. It was the middle of the tape, so I rewound it to the beginning. By the way, rewind is sloooow. Anyhow, hit play, and it actually sounded pretty good. And seemed to work fine. Not sure if the initial slowness was the player or me not remembering how the song sounded. But once I rewound and played from beginning everything sounded alright... gets me to....Sound quality. I noticed a lot of folks on here complain about it. I mean, they are cheap speakers, so you get what you pay for, but it has an eq, and with a little adjustment, I feel like I got decent sound out of it. If you're looking for booming bass -- probably not happening-- but for rock music, it sounded good to me.Blue tooth - Worked for me just fine. Flipped it to BT mode and paired with my phone no problem. Sound quality was as described above.Radio - only had the radio on for half a sec as I was flipping the switch. It happened to be on a station and sounded decent to me. I did not intentionally attempt to tune into anything, so how strong the receiver, etc. are, I have no clue. Only had it on FM. Can't speak at all to AM or short wave capabilities.MP3 playing - appeared to play MP3s from USB or SD card. I don't know who still plays MP3s vs streaming or going back to physical media, but okay. I didn't test cause I don't have a drive or SD card with MP3 floating around.Convert to MP3 - Also did not test, but based on how terrible the tape recording was, I don't have a ton of confidence about it.TL;DR: If you want to record to tape, do not get this unit. If you don't mind the lackluster build quality, this could be a serviceable tape player/radio/bluetooth speaker. For me, the search continues.
