Overview
Not just a radio, this QFX boombox plays and records cassette tapes, streams from a phone over Bluetooth and covers AM, FM and two shortwave bands. A three-band equalizer, a microphone and a rechargeable battery round out the retro shell.
A cassette recorder, an MP3 converter and Bluetooth in one box are the reason to buy it for old tapes and portable listening. The limit is the contradictory data: the output mode reads mono while the speaker type reads stereo.
Who it's for
Listeners digitizing or playing old cassettes who also want Bluetooth and radio in one unit will use the recorder and mic. Anyone chasing large-room sound or confirmed stereo separation should look at a different speaker.
Pros and cons
- Cassette play and record
- Bluetooth for phone audio
- Multiband radio with shortwave
- Stereo and mono listings conflict
- Speaker count listed inconsistently
- Battery life not listed
Performance notes
Two speakers a few inches across limit low bass, and the small cabinet shapes the sound. The equalizer lets you trim bass and treble. Tape quality depends on the cassette condition, and the recorder takes its sound from the mic and radio sources.
