I knew from previous reviews that this boombox has an antiquated SLA (sealed lead acid) battery pretty much like any UPS unit or motorcycle. I also knew it would probably be dead and refuse to take a charge. Yep, dead. Yep, won't take a charge. Dead, dead, dead. So one star off at the start. Another star off for the poor interface. The buttons are cheap feeling and inconsistent, and what look like touch-sensitive buttons are just indicator lights. An unexpected additional star off for the genuinely annoying UI. BUT... the sound is good, and it definitely looks nice, in line with the design established by the TDK Life on Record boomboxes. Just plan on replacing the battery asap, and don't let your friends touch the chintzy buttons, and all will be good.

This Bluetooth speaker is the beast I have discovered which can be purchased for $100 or less! It may cost more depending upon where it is purchased but even at $150 you will not be disappointed! I have personally owned Beats, JBL, etc., which cost much more than this item and I am a living witness that for the price point it matches all its competitors. Bluetooth works seamlessly with all my apple devices and range is sufficient. the FM/AM radio is also an added addition. The battery is also sufficient for me because I play my music loud and I get a good 4-5 hours off a single charge! I own 2 and I daisy-chain them outside, very good! If this item is new never used, don't even think about it; Get it!
