I am a musician singer and have been around sound systems my entire life, I'm now 64. Let me make it clear that you will need an external equalizier to get the right tone from this product. It has no bass or treble control, no balance, just volume. The cds sound fine, some cassettes are ok and others are very thin and weak sounding, same with vinyl albums. With that being said, everything sounds ok. It is absolutley amazing that I can play cassette recordings of various bands I was in back in the 1980s and they sound great, they play at the right speed and don't sound shakey. I can also play things recorded onto my cell phone and they too sound great. Plus I can record these irreplacable tapes and home recorded cds onto sd cards! Absoltely amazing for the price! You can't go wrong for the price! If you want to play every format and be able to record it onto a flash dive or sd card...buy this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bluetooth Record Player Turntable

H.L. · September 23, 2024

My living area has a turntable that is a fantastic statement piece since it has that ideal vintage style that makes it stand out. I have had compliments from a number of visitors on how nice it is, and it is a good match for the old décor that I have. Although it is not the heaviest turntable available, the materials give the impression that they are solid, and the turntable does not seem to be cheap or fragile. When it comes to functionality, the Bluetooth feature is really smooth. There were no problems that I had while attempting to connect it with my phone, and the range is sufficient. My ability to roam about my home without losing the connection is a significant advantage for me. I was able to avoid losing the connection. Not having to go through any fuss in order to switch between playing my vinyl recordings and streaming playlists from Spotify is a good feature. It is especially enjoyable to listen to earlier music that is more acoustic since the sound is clear and pleasant. The experience is likely to be enjoyable right out of the box if you are a fan of jazz or classical music. Additionally, having a remote control simplifies the process of adjusting the volume or changing the inputs without having to get up, which is a feature that is not only little but also quite useful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Update: Seller sent me a replacement and it works great

S.B.A. · November 30, 2020

First thing, probably good advice on all shipped electronics, try your unit as soon as it arrives. I waited too long. I got this as a gift for my mother. Bought too far in advance. When I finally set it up for her the return date had passed. The unit doesn't even power on. Worked with Bolo customer service. They had no solutions. They connected me with the seller. After a few days of emails back and forth they determined the unit was, in fact, defective and not user error.The seller informed me they would send me a replacement or I could inquire about getting my money back from Bolo. I elected to get the replacement because I really wanted my mom to have something to play her old records on. Well, it arrived today and it works great! I have to say, ultimately their customer service was good and the stereo arrived very quickly!If you're a true audiophile, buy something more expensive. If you want a good thumping subwoofer, buy something more expensive. If you just need something to play some good sounding music in general, you'll be happy with this. This unit is plastic, seems a bit fragile, but honestly it does a lot for it's price. At this price point I was not expecting super high quality, just function. It sounds better than I expected.For most people this stereo is just fine. The radio works well and has a digital tuner. The CD player... when I first hit the button to open the CD tray, it was stuck. I had to use a letter opener to wedge the tray down a bit. It was simply stuck inside. Once I did this, the tray opens and closes with no difficulty. I will caution, be careful. The tray is pretty thin plastic and seems a bit fragile. I played a CD and the sound quality was very acceptable. The speakers have a decent range, better than I expected. There is no subwoofer included, so I did not expect deep low end and it does lack a little bit there, but again I expected that. If you're into deep, thumping bass, this is not the stereo for you. If you just need a good unit to listen to music from a wide range of sources, this thing is great. It even plays all three speeds of record album, which was the big selling feature for us. My mother has a big record collection that includes 33, 45, and even older 78 rpm albums. This stereo plays them all.I have not tried the other functions yet. I just set it up. So far, so good though. If I remember, I'll update with a review of the other functions. I tried to connect the bluetooth but haven't gotten it to work yet. It might be my phone is too old. I'll have to dig out some cassette tapes to try that still. It also accepts USB drives, SD cards, and has an aux input. It's a nice, all inclusive unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little stereo

This is the perfect little stereo for kids. It has all the bells and whistles of a bigger stereo but in a compact model. Easy to use and very happy with purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor workmanship

I purchased this unit primarily to play my CDs and albums in Dec 2022. However, I lost both my parents within months of each other during this timeframe and did not feel much like listening to my music, Recently, I began listening to my CDs again and noticed skipping so thinking it was a bad CD tried another, same problem, and then it went from skipping to no sound at all even though the track counter was still counting down. For what I paid even for Prime sale ($118) this is unacceptable for no more play time than I got out of this unit. I do not recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for playing records.

You get what you pay for! Not the greatest stereo per se; but it definitely plays records and has a good quality system for the price. I wouldn’t recommend if you’re buying a stereo system for your home as this only has computer quality desk speakers and sound etc… but it does play the records we’ve been collecting for years!✨👍✨
