I grew up in Russia and my childhood was in 1980 and beginning of 1990. I remember, that in my school time device like this was a treasure, it was a dream of every boy. Double cassette deck for copying tapes. OMG. I remember my first western music started from techno and rap (Technotronics, MC Hammer, KRS ONE, RUN D.M.C, Snap "The Power')... Those were great times. :)

The old school clarity!! I'm 26 and yeah I've spent my childhood with cassettes, and then audio CDs ! Things are so freakin convenient now!! Kids today won't get what we saw in the past! Let's see what future brings to audio!!

[@UrOpinionsSucc]

Maaaaan!! Back in the 90's (i was a kid) my dad had the ORIGINAL Lasonic TRC-931. I miss seeimg it and was glad to experience it. When i saw this at best buy i was through the roof! Felt the Nostalgia overload with this bad boy!! Ohhh mannnn i hope these make a strong comeback!!

[@gramps69cd12]

Still have my cassette player " Sony CFS 450 " from 1982 and it still play good for its age !! I feel the same way you do each time I start this puppy up !! Thank you for the great review and the step back in time , greatly appreciated !! Best Holliday wishes to you and your family !!

[@DriveInFreak]

I know that this has been around for a while now, but: Thank you so very much for posting this. It's far from the best box ever, but I've been having so much fun with it. I've even gone so far as to mod the AM antenna with a longer ferrite rod to improve the AM reception (I'm an AM brodcaster that still spins records, so the band is still important to me), and adjusted the tape speed to be correct ( you can get to the adjustment by pulling off the bottom sticker on the back as there's an access hold behind it). Alright, so I probably look like a nutcase blasting it while walking down the street in 2020, but it's too much fun not to...and I've trured a few people on to my radio station while doing so. Sometimes life is good. Thanks again.

[@kb8978]

I haven't even finished the video yet. But you are the exact perfect amount of excited. Love it man.

[@UrOpinionsSucc]

I got one last week! Ooooooo as a 90's kid i always wanted the LaSonic TRC-931. But they're hard to find now. So this is an alternative. Booyyy this thang is loud!! I feel like i'm in the modern day 80's.

[@KimchiJerry]

I just bought it today and man I was just like you when I got it!!! I wasn’t alive in the 80s but I was born in the 90s but I remember seeing dudes with their boom boxes and I have wanted one since!!! And first song I bumped was “I ain’t no Joke!” 👏. Born in 92 but have a respect and heart for 80s and 90s Hip Hop ✊🏼. Oh and the boombox sounds great!! Lol

[@djmr.vinncredible5050]

Maaannn Thank U for the energy video😂!! I have been eyeing this for a few years now. My original Boombox was a LASONIC, it fell apart after many years of usage. I've been on the hunt for something that carried the nostalgic and (reasonably priced) presence. Your video has sealed the deal for me. It's on!! 😂 I have an old demo tape that I made as well as old radio mixes I kept over the years. (NYC) I can't wait to hear my demo rap tape I made during the high school era. 😂

[@homie-gtv322]

That's cool. I still prefer the vintage ones. I would get this one to toss the back of my truck without having to worry about it getting fucked up. Wait, I do that to my vintage ones. Never mind. But I still prefer the old school radios. I love how happy you are. That's how I feel when I come across and old one. I found one today at an estate sale for $15!!! I might eBay that shit for $375 since the two other ones there are above $500 each with one being $580.

I used to sit out on the rooftop or fire escape with friends at night looking at the elevated Subway trains go by and listen to types of DJ red alert and Mister Magic. On the boombox radio was 92ktu or KISS FM or Frankie Crocker on WBLS who later on would be followed by and then replaced by Wendy Williams

[@royalhoward2882]

Yo Man you just brought me back home big time. I was born and raised in South Yonkers New York a block away from the Bronx. I used to listen to WKTU and 98.7 KISS FM and WBLS everyday. I don't know if you remember him or not but I am friends with Jellybean Benitez. He was also the DJ at the FUN HOUSE in Manhattan back in the day. He is the one who got Madonna her start and made her blow up.

[@BigEpinstriping]

Got one of these for Christmas, I love that it has an internal rechargable battery AND can take D batteries. The VU meters are a must because it gets LOUD. I miss my old boombox but this one checks all the boxes. Not sure if the tape deck is stereo though only one company makes tape mechanisms anymore and they're all mono (EDIT: Just checked, yes, surprisingly the tape head IS stereo! Hooray!), If the thing is plugged in, source is set to Tape/off and you flip the AC switch on the charge light will turn on and it'll charge the internal battery.

ION really hit the nail with this cassette boombox. Including STEREO tape-head!!! VU meters, peak led meter, Bt, usb, sd, 3 power options and very good looking. They've put some dedication and care to it! Other reviews about this Boombox Deluxe are positive too. I myself got a PHILIPS D8323 Spatial BMBX. But as someone in the comments wrote "this boombox checks all the boxes", so i will buy one. Loved your video! ION must be very happy with your review - and they deserve it!

[@NewStuffTV1]

I bought my first boom box (Hitachi TRK-8190E) back in 1981, unlike the one in your video you would not have picked it up so easily from the box with one hand, it was heavy. It had triple the knobs and buttons, had proper LED level meters, had proper quality internals and had a really good cassette mechanism inside plus the bonus, the sound quality was really good. The 1980’s was a long time ago and yet the boomboxes back then were so much better than these plastic look-a-likes made in China. I love your enthusiasm but you’d pop a blood vessel if you saw the real thing like a JVC RC M90 😂👍
