These cheap little cassette boomboxes have had very poor sound quality and cassette playback performance, until now! AudioCrazy upgraded their version (the AC-RC89BT) with stereo audio and a higher-quality cassette tape mechanism and motor, and the improvement is significant. It's now a viable option for people who want a simple, inexpensive way to play cassettes with good audio quality (at least when using headphones or external speakers).
