Of all the videos I watched, no one else mentioned that you could use the mini as a power bank to recharge USB devices. Thanks for that, maybe now I can justify this purchase with my wife! lol... It's practical! It's a big battery with radio and Bluetooth. Perfect emergency/hurricane radio, but the nostalgia factor also makes me inclined to use it regularly too. I was on the fence since it came out, but right now they're finally running a sale for $120, and I nabbed one. When it comes in, I'll have to do a teardown video.
Awesome, thank you for watching! They are currently out of stock but more are coming. Shortly after I bought these, they sold out. I've been waiting a little over a year for them to become available. I'm sure they'll restock very soon.
Hi, i just got my mini and micro yesterday, they really are beautiful to look at, I'll be interested in any other mini boomboxes new wave make. On the mini i can hear a hiss or a low static sound, it's okay when the music is turned up but if there is a slower, quieter song playing i can hear it more, it happend on Bluetooth and micro sd, haven't tried the usb drive yet. I'm just wondering if all the mimi's have this issue or is mine faulty?
On my mini, there is a very slight hiss. It's not distracting but I have noticed it as I've added more songs to the microSD. NWT did release a firmware update for it here: newwavetoys.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/43000668532-m90-mini-blaster-firmware-update-may-2022 , it doesn't describe what they have fixed so I'm hesitant to apply it at this point. However, thought I'd mention it.
Thank you so much for the reply, I'm happy to know my mini is not alone in it's hiss, returning it from the uk would be a pain, plus it's (blue speaker edition) out of stock and i wouldn't want to lose it.. thinking about it now, even if it stopped working tomorrow I'd still keep it as a cool replica for display only.. and the work they put into the 1/6 scale too, if hot toys had made it with that amount of detail and build quality they would be charging a lot more than the £70 I paid. Thanks again for the reply and the link, I've saved the link page and will have a read tomorrow. :-)
@WagnersTechTalk thanks, But to me it doesn't make sense to bake when one of the best radios in the world and make a small version to me was cannot. Silly he should make the actual size. I hope there we make the actual size or some other company or some of the brand that would be awesome.
@@WagnersTechTalk Yeah I understand bless you my friend. I just Thought or figured for that matter That they would have made one same size. They're already had Take the time money in effort To create it But why do it smaller? Seems backwards to me. The whole idea about that radio was because of It's size. Why not just make the same size. After going through all the trouble why not make it big like the original. The ones made in the 80s are selling for almost 4000 or over $4000. You could just as easy, make the same one same size Like the original.
thanks for this very cool and interesting review! it is neat, that such historical electronic gear is reproduced with love for detail. although I personally would wish more real functionality...
Great video, thumbs up from me. This is the first video I've watched where someone actually places the micro sd into the machine, i would've put it in upside down if i hadn't seen your vid lol:-) I've been trying to find out what size micro sd the mini will take, does anyone know? About a week ago I saw that they were out of stock on new wave toys, so i decided to order a mini from sideshow and import it to the uk, then the other day new wave toys got stock in for the blue speakers so of course i had to order one, and the micro too. I can not wait for all three to arrive, they all look amazing. I just need to find out the sd size. Thanks for the unboxing/review. :-)
Thank you for watching and your kind comments! The card I used here was a 128GB microSD. It only had one song on it (to avoid copyright issues in the video), but it worked well. I've not seen any "official" limit on the size of the card mentioned. Typically, 256GB (or less) is a safe bet.
@@WagnersTechTalk thank you so much for the reply, I've watched so many videos for the m90 mini, and read pages of forum chat about it and even asked on someone elses video but I've had no luck until now, i really appreciate you taking the time to reply. I listen to a lot of 80's music and I'm gonna make the tracks for the sd cards exclusively 80's only.. I'm a total geek. Thanks again:-)
That's pretty cool. It's a blast from the past with all the modern features.

Awesome, happy to have been of assistance to you! Thanks for checking out my videos, hope you find others of interest as well.
It would have been nice if the manufacturer integrated a micro cassette recorder for voice recording.
I love the micro, but the lack of aux in is killing me.
can you test if there is any latency on the aux input? I want to use the mini for DJing.
I'm sorry, I can't. I wound up giving this to my daughter.
You are in on the boom box hype too!?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣That's boss AF
Do they still come as a bundle?
I don't think so, don't see it as a bundle on their site.
Love that! I am going to check out the larger one (mini?). Thanks, peace. (I am old enough to appreciate this a lot!)

@@WagnersTechTalk Yes, I checked it out and found that also. Bummer.
These are both great! I may get the micro. I don't have a lot of room on my desk and would like a speaker for my Pi.
Great idea Will!

Did they or are they ever gonna make the The same size as the original?
AFAIK, a 1:1 scale wasn't planned.

I get your point, I do like my Mini M90. The Micro is now my daughters lol. May not be for everyone, for sure. But I don't regret the purchase.

@@WagnersTechTalk Do you wear anyone? You don't have one like that For sale? would love to buy one.
