if you flip it upside down it fixes the L-R stereo problem 🙃
Boom Boxes in the 80's were works of art.
Yes they were.I agree 100 %
Exactly.
yes... any older one was indeed better... than this one.
....and weapons of war. They were built like tanks.
It looks like it has 3 way speakers and stereo MIC.
But I'll guess they are 1 way speakers and a mono MIC.
Correct
😠 - eye candy/bling
Take a peek inside and see if it uses a CSG mechanism and TRW motor, just like the AudioCrazy mini-boombox I did a video about a few months ago. They advertised it as an "advanced Japanese mechanism", but I can't find any proof it's actually made in Japan.
when i saw the title i expected the video was yours
@@namesurname4666 or Techmoan’s
If I took it apart, chances are I wouldn't be able to put it back together 😁
I was wondering about that.
Chinesem crap, polished turd 😠
I prefer bass & treble knobs to balance and tone knobs. I don't understand why manufacturers use balance for speakers that are close together.
Maybe if your source is messed up haha
What impressed me about this video, apart from the decency of the boombox itself, was the fact that the comments are made up of all those people with and without UA-cam channels that truly love cassette decks. To quote the Stones "We make a beautiful team!"
Come hang out at r/cassetteculture
I was just about to write a similar comment) Yes! We love CASSETTES FOREVER! )
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Anyone that loves boomboxes and playing cassettes is always on the hunt for another one to play with, dubious quality included, these china pride boomboxes do make fun gadgets to mess with and dissect. some of them are actually really good. I have one made by "ION" that I bought from the Home Shopping Network and I absolutely love it, [and yes I do have OG boomboxes too, so I know what they should and shouldn't perform like.]
Let’s be honest, it’s utter crud. Just slap a JVC M70,M90 or any one of a huge number of early 1980’s boombox next to it and see the monumental difference. At least it looks Retro and the VU Meters seem to work even if the cassette heads are wired the wrong way around 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fun video to watch though 👍🙂
I think if this boombox had been manufactured in Japan, they would have put a few more bells and whistles into it. Not too bad for a utility boombox for an outside barbeque or just catching some rays. Looking forward to the next one Tony!
It's good to see progress being made on modern cassette players/recorders, now let's teach QC how to properly wire LEFT and RIGHT channels.
this reminds me of ai images with people with the wrong number of fingers
I'd imagine the little sweatshop kids working in the factory are soldering the wires with the stereo face down and upside down when they come off the conveyor belt - so what was marked left is actually right and right is left.
Tony: How Hard Is it To Wire The right wire to the right AAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH
The 5 year old chinese factory worker thats not slept in 2 days:
Back in the day I used to swear by the TDK SAX-90 tapes...I liked the brown color of the shell and the gold lined sticky labels.😊😊😊 i still have my collection
Oh Lord. This makes Saisho/Matsui/Hinari look like quality gear. This kind of tat would've been badged something like "Tronix" back in the 80s and found on market stalls and super-dodgy "gift stores". Even Aurex can't make a decent cassette "boombox" (hate that word) these days. That "high-res" cassette monstrosity they released a few years back proves that all hope is lost!
Afraid so. Until one "real" manufacturer bites the bullet and starts manufacturing a good quality cassette mechanism with decent heads having at least a 30 to 15,000 Hz response, all we are left with is that one cheap (very cheap) Chinese knock off. Even Tascam had to use it in their latest offering, not exactly inspiring much confidence in the longevity of this format. All of the old vintage decks won't last forever. I'm glad to have four of them and will use them until the day either they die or I do.
@@rosswarren436 yup, the ONLY choice (if you care about quality) is a "vintage" deck. I would far rather own a decent quality Bluetooth portable speaker than this "thing" if I wanted music in the back garden, or whatever. I'd be embarrassed to own this Chinesium cassette/radio/mp3 thing. As for "looking good", I'll have to agree to disagree (with the reviewer) on that score, too. It looks cheap and tacky. Hard pass from me! I don't think the "proper" Japanese brands will ever make cassette decks (or tapes) again. They don't tend to be interested in old technology. They've only made a half-hearted stab at turntables recently (aside from Technics).
@@njm1971nyc yeah, I have a "decent" portable JBL Bluetooth speaker for outdoor use, and it works fine. Hopefully, just for the sake of argument, they'll start including better codecs than just SBC and AAC. LDAC and aptx-HD would be nice.
Funny enough I have an old Sony CD/cassette boombox from the 1990s that still works just fine. I even play tapes in it while I'm grilling hamburgers.
Head polarity reversed ... there HAD to be something! Otherwise perfectly acceptable, as you point out, for the most likely use. I'm currently slowly sharing my music library with my nephew who is 7 years old - I put it on Maxell cassettes which I record on my Sony WM-D6C; he plays them back on a little Tomashi F-116 I gave him, which he either carries around (as it has a built-in mini speaker) or he plugs it into a Bluetooth speaker that has blinky blinky LEDs, which he loves ... like you say, context is the thing. I warrant he's the ONLY kid in his class with his own personal cassette player. Playback on the Tomashi isn't perfect but totally satisfactory for his needs!
Quite common to find left/right connections reversed in these cheaper off brand items, I've had the same thing in the past in jack plug to phono audio cables, where the left & right plug connections are the wrong way round.
The boombox recording actually sounds a bit spacey with elevated bass, which is a little bit aesthetically interesting.
Had the shipping didn't cost as much as the thing itself it would be all over the place. Right now it's on 40% discount though.
yeah was going to say, would never use it in a serious capacity...IT'S HORRID...
However it does have a pleasing warm Retro filter sound to it.
it sounded like a potato recording
@@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777 Basically what it is, but as Tony mentions several times, you'd not really buy one of these with recording on them in mind. Even more so if you were there in the '80s-early '90s and know what you could expect from noname Chinese stuff from experience.
@@BilisNegra I don't accept garbage being sold on the open market.. it's 2023 where the 'world' tech industry brags how great the advances are..and they just keep pumping out land- fill garbage.. but people keep buying it as well. I have a different frame of mind than you.. this was basic stuff in '83. even a cheap Chinese / Taiwan recorder sounded fine back then. We have dropped the ball collectively on accepting turds with a glossy coating.
The first thing that came to my mind was to use it as a lo-fi compressor unit with an added tape "simulator", I could think that a group of analog synthesizer/gear geeks like Hainbach could like that. The recording had definitely some charm to me, although I'm not into this kind of sound mangling.
No bother it‘s sheit sounding anyway. But it at least looks as cheap as our original sharp models did in the time. ;-)
Looks better than the GPO thing that was out a few years ago.
I have the GPO ghetto blaster it cost £250 . The tape deck was the weakest link , I can't fault the rest of the features. It has proper tweeters and bass and treble controls, it's got a rechargeable battery which is great for out side. The only thing I don't like is the size it's to big! I have ordered one of these in the video from eBay as it looks the right size. If the tape part is wired properly I will use the Bluetooth or at a pinch I will play the tape regardless!
it looks retro and it sounds retro...I think for the purpose is more than ok...
In my opinion they're all the same
Let downs with bad speakers
Too bad it doesn't include CD player ..
Wow! This thing actually looks legit! From the front, it really looks like a budget boombox from 1981.
The reversed stereo matches the reversed symbols on the buttons. 🤣
My feeling is if you like it you like it
Erm, did the marketing department not spell check the manual? 😛 "Remove any more 'SPERM' from the swab". It's nice, but hopefully people won't get that excited. 🙃
Nice spot!
I got my first stereo in 1994 at age 9 (a Crown - incredibly basic but had all I needed - permanent magnet erase head tells you pretty much all you need to know) and I found 72 spelling errors in the manual. Didn't have any funny spelling errors IIRC.
Poorly translated “chinglish”
Where do i buy one before it gets to expensive and sells out?
It’s a shame there’s no refined boutique, 80s style boomboxes on the market. The half baked “GPO Brooklyn” is the best I’ve seen, and it’s nothing special.
There could be a market for a tape/CD/dac passion project with high quality sound, solid metal construction and decent I/O ..perhaps digital int/ext record with mic input or built in mic, SD card. Throw in a Hypex based class-D amp and maybe even speaker terminals for extra versatility, power output increases under mains, 40-50 watt @ 8 ohms.
And you do that, and the "enthusiasts" will say "I'll just keep using my *insert old item here* / I'd rather go on to eBay and refurb a *insert old item here*" The mass market needs to come back to cassttes again for any real quality to appear, but since that's not going to happen and also because there's no new quality media, nobody is going to take that risk.
Something is definitely wrong with your CR-7... suddenly, all bass has gone... mine makes recordings indistinguishable from the source, starting with any cassette at least having the quality of a Sony HF(!)
You don't have to put in dozens of hours repairing it, dealing with belts that turned to goo or cracked gears you have to 3D print replacements for... (although I do have some vintage boomboxes that sound absolutely amazing and make recordings that are... decent, so fixing these can be rewarding - but then again it doesn't have to. My optically more appealing 1980 boombox sounds ok while my ugly-when-new 1980 boombox sounds better than most late 90s compact stereo systems. I'm not kidding!)
In the first place I was surprised it's stereo for MP3s, many of the recent ones I've seen reviewed don't even manage that.
I owned some pretty top-of-the-line boomboxes in the 1980s.
One Rocking monster I had was the JVC DC10 👍
They are starting to get a little better but, they are still not there with the quality!
Another great video Tony. Not a bad effort from the makers. It has the look of the early 80s about it. This would be great to listen to the audio books I keeping buying in charity shops. If Sainsburys branded them as BUSH and sold a few it would be great for the summer. The summer of the cassette comeback. We're getting another cassette release of Guardians of the Galaxy (volume 3) in July and so many more artists releasing stuff.
Looks good. I wonder how the performance on Shortwave is.
A shame the LED output display only seems to work on one channel.. but it is progress
Would be better if they can implement them like in Clairtone 7980 or Conion C-100-F. Both have dual meters; needles and LEDs.
I am not much of a fan of these newer systems and do not care to buy one. A good old vintage one that can record on CrO2 and METAL, not these DC Bias with a magnet erase head.
Thanks for the review. Chinese cheapo manufacturers have been doing a lot better job of making sure their decks are in spec over the last few years; even if everything else is still a bit slop. Made in China is what you pay for it, the top often among the best, the bottom often the worst. But the quality isn't that much cheaper than even European manufacturers. Was a Chinese developed M-mount lens made from 2011-2015 with a domestic novel lens array that out performed Leica's own latest and greatest German made £11k Noctilux lens by every metric, however it cost flipping £6-7k!
Exatement made in china 🤣
L and R channels being swapped does not matter at all. Want them the right way around just turn around and face the other way. I guess it could be swapped over using the wires from the play head but why bother?
The brick walling is often intentional. A lot of modern boomboxes use DC bias on the head and a permanent magnet erase head which generates a lot of noise. To mask this noise the levels are kept as high as possible. Unfortunately, DC bias also adds distortion.
just swap the speaker wires over inside the unit if you are lucky you can just swap the plugs over. I bet it doesn't have tweeters connected in side just fake ones. Or you could rewire the play head.
Hi. maybe you did not notice, the led power level in the tuner windows are both wired to the right channel
Yeah. They're just for aesthetics so it's not really an issue.
recording muddy and loud not good but not terrible! playback of source on tape is quite good!
The power meters on the top are both connected to the right channel and are not left and right you can see this in the channel left & right test on the tape you did,
It extends out to 6,300,000Hz. Naka-WHO? Outstanding!!
😂 Right, I wanted to comment on that too. 125-6300 Khz is a VERY impressive frequency range. 🤣
I never heard vu meters called Power Pump Meters before. Good one. 😄
Not bad at all just like a cheap stereo from the 1980's
36:06 makes me think of breakin' or beat street just a moment of that good old 80s break dance era sitting there on the pavement :)
9:10 I would open it up and see if you can turn the plug around inside for the head connection.
Looks a shocker 6300 Hz and 4 percent wow and flutter
8:40 It8s because the cassette mech is mounted up side down LOL
I own five boomboxes all made in 1982, and they all sound amazing!! They certainly aren’t “cheap sounding “ as you called them. They sound so much better than these cheap modern “retro” boomboxes. 80’s boomboxes we’re built to last.
Anyone that called a vintage boombox cheap either likely didn't pay up for a nicer model and just bought bottom of the barrel (common with a high school kid's income back then and no internet to research a model), or had the audio levels tuned wrong. I just got a Pioneer SK-750 and weighing about 25-30 lbs it is certainly nowhere near 'cheap'.
@@MrWolfSnack I’ve got a Pioneer SK 71 and an SK 51, and they are awesome!
@@mikelambert8324 Nice! Pioneer made good boomboxes
My old Panasonic was a warbeast.
Tony, funny you've just triggered a memory: back in 1973, my father bought me a *Sanyo M2000G* tape player (no radio). He bought it for £15 second hand from a friend, but it retailed at £30. So, translating that into today, and add 'boom box' functionality, I wonder how that would translate into today's money? Of course manufacturing methods, and cost cutting change over time, so not as expensive as we predict, but certainly a few quid nevertheless.
Ive seen more Chinese product's with reversed stereo than the right way around.
Yeah, it sounds decent. Not great but decent . Another cool video Tony, always nice to get new C.C. content. 😎👍
You should modify it and rewire it the righr way !
Someone needs to send this video over to Techmoan, while I like his reviews and how in-depth he goes, he is much too harsh on these units. He doesn't get what they were designed for, nor does he understand that these are NOT meant to be top of the line machines. I own four of these types of radios (Supersonic SC3201BT, Audiocrazy, Ion Street Rocker and the Crosley CT201A) and I love each and every one of them. Are they cheap? Oh, Lord yes? Are they all stereo? NO! But they have a great look and will function for years to come as opposed to my 80's units which have gone the way of the Do-Do bird.
That's what I'm trying to get across. They're crap, but they're less crap than they were. Eventually I believe they may make something decent. It's progress...
Internally, I can tell this is very similar to the ION street rocker and its affiliates just as you mentioned. The top LED meters are wired directly to one channel versus being stereo. Con. My ION appears to have the stereo head wired correctly which is a plus but the LEDs are the same. One channel. Thumbs down. The difference seems to be that the LED meters on your radio are wired to the input sensitivity whereas the ION, the VU meters and LED are both wired to the speaker outputs. Both increase and decrease with volume. My only complaint is that you almost have to have the volume full tilt before you get the satisfaction from both. On the ION you have Bass and Treble versus Tone and Balance. I prefer bass and treble control over balance but all three would be better. Tone is too vague albeit, what kind of bass are you really going to get out of those tiny 4 ohm speakers? I know instantly that these newer machines are never going to be good recording machines with swinging permanent erase magnets, but playback is decent. IMO, I think I still would prefer the ION version for the Bass and Treble but it doesn't have SW1 or SW2 so that's interesting.
Looks not too bad for the money.
Its very similar in shape, style and size to a Waltham unit i had in the early 80s....even the layout of the top knobs and switches are identical.
Funny how they charge $90 shipping when chinese companies get free shipping because of their "developing" status. Nice ripoff.
Ok watched and was pleasantly suprised. I bought a reka "boombox" from aldi good few years back and it had the same bluetooth feature and descent sound for its size. The tape mechanism was pretty bad and got worse the more I used it.
Now its a cool looking bluetooth speaker radio.
Ok for 25 pound.
This one for the price is better than expected, seems they are using a slightly better mechanism but cross eyed technicians at the factory😂
I remember back in the late 80s early 90s I had a Panasonic shoebox style boombix that had amazing sound quality and soft touch controls. Now that new was probably the equivalent of 200 compared to the saishos of the day, which again I had and were cheap and cheerful. but Like you said for a teenager listining to the top 40 on a sunday were perfectly good. Think my dad took the Panasonic for himself or sold it and bought me a saisho😂.
Thinking back I might have traded it for a twin tape saisho to copy tapes🤭
As you say its good for the newbeys who want to play there cassettes. And The Same can be said for these cheep record players .
It looks like it was inspired by the Sanyo m9935. It looks so similar to my sanyo boombox.
So basically the thing is absolute dogshit, but it works, and it's probably the best out there you can buy today.
Unfortunately, yes 😕
I definitely like the triple tweeter system on this. Not. It seems they had pictures of different old "boom boxes" and just picked whatever details they thought would be appealing. Why couldn't they get an original one, have a look at the concept and try to replicate it. I'm even sure if they did an exact copy of one of the Hitachis, Sharps, Grundigs etc they won't be infringing any copyright laws. Dolby can be replicated today as well(I know your opinion on that, Tony but many people want to have that option). All they had to do is make a copy of one of them right, change the branding and storm the market.
Well I decided to buy one and predictably the sound is a bit on the thin side but I suspect that's due to fairly cheap speakers the unit ships with. When running a tape through the headphone jack and into a decent set of powered speakers it actually sounds quite good. No way that wow and flutter spec of 4% is correct it's probably 0.4%. So you get what you pay for like the LEDs and VU meters don't work on mine but I'm thinking I might have a look at retro fitting some better speakers in it and patching the PCB to get those LEDs working. The Bluetooth pairing is sensational. Fast and no problems pairing to an A52 smartphone and the Galaxy watch 4.
Yeah, if you think of it as a retro looking Bluetooth speaker that can play cassettes ok, you'll be happy enough.
When playing a stereo cassette, turn it upside-down!
then im going to say this it's wired the wrong way around. because of manufacturing factory screw up.
Thanks for half hour of late night entertainment before i fall asleep.😊
The VU meters look exactly like those on my pioneer ct-f9191
It's too bad that UA-cam doesn't let you use some good music like Rush, Jinjer, or even AC-DC and instead you are stuck with that 70's disco music with I guess has no copyright on it. I would love to hear what something like Rush's Tom Sawyer, or Jinjer's Outlander song would sound like on that boombox. Thanks for the demo. Seems like at least they took care of some of the W&F issues of the other cheap Chinese transports.
Idk what people expect, cassettes are so niche that there’s no market for quality. It’s made as cheaply as possible to sell as cheaply as possible. Most people don’t even care about the sound, and among those of us who do care, most will just use digital, while the few who want a quality cassette player buy vintage gear.
I used to think that as well, but why do other niche markets have quality products? In many cases that is ALL they have. ALL of it is quality.
And because of this type of bullshit you can only buy shitty records. You can't buy CDs any more, thanks to the stupid trendy ass teen agers.
Not good, but good enough. Good enough for the target market. I can't see retail price here being £60, especially including VAT. I think they'll fit off the shelves at £80, but I'd guess they'll go for £99.99.
This is junk... Japan, pleeeese show the Chinese folk how to make one of these, if you did a good job of it, they would sell, people like the look of these, only bigger and with proper internals!
I just received my wee ghetto blaster like this, I watched this video after typing in the model number and this video popped up. I tried the tape deck and the sound was coming out the proper channels. I think it's a great wee ghetto blaster, the radio was clear which in my house is a miracle as I don't usually get FM radio very good without interference. I tried the recording of the tape it was the weakest link, I tried lowering the input level on the Bluetooth using the red lights as a guide it worked a wee bit. All and all I'm very impressed with the ghetto blaster. I got mine off eBay for £74.99 it's gold and a make I've never heard of. Considering it costs £166 on Amazon I'm happy as a pig in shit saving nearly £100!
They will sell a lot em, a perfect work center machine.
Nice to see something that is decent these days.
I was working in the Auto Parts business when China made stuff started showing up in the late 1990s. Working at a VW parts/service shop and was used to saying that only German made parts were any good. (Yet VW produced Rabbits and Golfs in the USA from 1978 - 1988, but assembled with many of the non-USA-made parts piped in from Germany) and I was largely skeptical of any parts that were not made in Germany or Europe. Some China made parts were obviously inferior, but some were just fine. I think it really does not matter where something is made... if the design is good and quality control is in place at the factory.
Pump the power!
Saw something identical to this on Amazon, I like my retro radios, but I won't fork out £170 for it wether I like it or not! I wouldn't fork out that much for a genuine 80's machine, never mind a Chinese knock off 80's boombox!
Very happy to see it 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love the carpet no studio needed. luv from Canada
@21:16 Recorded In True Potato Sound
With the skin on
Stability, wow and flutter (again, in context here), and what stood out to me was the treble (?!) even with a basic type I tape??? Get out the D batteries, and pack it up for the beach, it's about to be summer! 😏
This looks just about exactly the same as a boombox I have from 1984 with all of the save features except for the fact that this one has VU meters and mine doesn't!
This is actually a re-badged Crosley CT201 from a couple years ago. Which is probably a re-badged something else.... lol
It almost covers the first ever version of DIN standard called Hi-Fi: for bandwidth 60Hz to 6.3kHz within 3db unevenness and 60db dinamic range (signal to noise ratio used to be more popular therm in those days), but than again - it's what came from electronic tract and not from the speakers themselves.
This could be the best “High School” 🏫 age boombox 🤯. It reminds me of how old I am now, as opposed to 1984, but it takes me back. Too bad, mine didn’t have the VU meters, but it was still a slice of history’s “ pie” 🥧. This happens to be the more deluxe version of boombox 🤯. Your friend, Jeff.
Try the audio crazy I think u will be very impressed it’s version looks identical but has all its features and built in rechargeable battery and option to use store baught batteries it also has working tweeters so that’s four speakers and bass boost short wave 1 radio feature am / fm u will be impressed and it’s same price in some cases cheaper try it
Hot sell! Many joy for family and peace love. If seek reft light correct seek elsewhere. Contain no tar. These will be 30 quid in Lidl next week 😂 Summat wrong with your CR-7 tho. .. 🤔
These Chinese still can't improve the recording system of a simple boombox. It's just that, damn, even the cheapest boombox of the 90's could record from the radio or CD with a more than acceptable quality.
We don't ask them to include advanced technologies in tape recording, but that at least one can make as decent a recording as possible from the original sources.
Your CR-7 should sound better than that. The low end response should be flat to 20 Hz. Maybe it needs to be recapped. There is obviously some ALC (auto level control) in the boombox. Not hifi, but not terrible. ;) Where do I get one? Thanks for the video!
The CR-7 tape is being played back through the boombox. So not exactly a good place to diagnose the CR-7
@@TucsonAnalogWorkshop Good. Sorry for my mistaken take on it. Nakamichi decks are among the few cassette machines worth keeping alive.
I feel bad that you had to spend your money and get a boom box that was wired wrong. Now in those days when these were popular, I was not by any means rich but I had an audiophile mentality. If it wasn't clear with full babwirh--- I wasn't satisfied. Since then I've become somewhat poor and I had to realize that something was better than nothing. As long as it sounds reasonably good, I've learned to enjoy it.
This Chinese boombox looks like a Polish Hania Unitra RMS-401 tape recorder produced in Poland in 1986.
I love it, just like in the United States, my first words upon seeing that instruction manual was the same, at least it’s in English..Hahaha..
The quality is absolutely awful but the video superb as usual. Keep em coming!
The issue is the price. When you pay all of that for such a bad sounding system. It does not hold a candle to the boombox that I have! No match whatsoever. The only issue with the one I have is the fact it has no line in. Which is a shame because everything else blows this out of the water. Including the sound quality.

You forgot to mention Hitachi 90’s great boomboxes
Very indepth review. like the omd band. Thanks for posting , just as good as techmoan. :) Do you have any c90s and supply UK. I was an engineer for Currys in the 80s and matsui and sasho were their brands and the quality was probably much the same as this new Chinese boombox
As long as it's stereo, what does it matter if the left channel comes out of the right speaker etc.?

21:12 DC bias. Not really suitable for recording music. Though, to be fair, recording on a lot of 90s Boomboxes sounded just as bad. I have a Memorex branded late 90s boombox that probably sounds even worse when recording off the radio or CD player it has. It also doesn't erase previously used tapes very well.
Can't anyone make the decent erase head like the old days? Why shouldn't something be able to make a decent recording - even in a boom box? Tech has moved on but quality gone backwards. 🤔
@@jaredjackson8526成本控制的很严格
the crappy record sound is due to two things it uses auto level control thats strike one and two its a DC BIAS record head you can tell by the sss sound when they use a word with the letter s in it.
its typical of the cheap boom boxes back in the day auto level control is crap.
the only box i have ever seen it match a manual deck was my aiwa boom box but that cost 300 us dollars plus.
Ive still got all my cassettes from the 80s all Rock !
