My last review of a Portable Stereo Radio Cassette CD MP3 Player (aka Boombox) has proven to be surprisingly popular.

Perhaps there really are some people out there who want to play their old cassettes after all ;-)

This is an opportune follow up, in which I take a look at the most requested ‘new‘ model that I’d yet to try, the Panasonic RX-D55.

I’ve not been mentally or physically firing on all cylinders this week - so please excuse the rather slapdash nature of some sections of this video, it’s the best I could do under the circumstances.

Hopefully by the time I start on the next video I’ll be feeling a bit more chipper, as I’m planning on showcasing some retro Karaoke tech.

Have a pleasant weekend and take care of yourself and others.

UPDATE - A few seconds that were creating a sticking point have been deleted - video above is the new edit.

REVIEW: Probably the last half-decent Cassette Boombox...in the world

In this video I’m taking a look at an old school Panasonic cassette boombox that’s still being sold new today (in some countries). If you want a new portable cassette and CD player in 2020 - it’s far from perfect, but it may be your last best option.
