Thanks to this review, I went out and bought this radio. It does remind one of a 1980s boombox. Not the greatest shortwave radio ever made, but a nice addition to my collection.
Great little radio. I got one as a gift for my 53rd birthday. I have an Lasonic 930i, but this having cassette player on it is wonderful. I had several boomboxes in the 80 so this takes me back to a very happy and fun time.
Kudos to QFX! I very much appreciate how they are giving you a fine mixture of old and new technology. If there's ever going to be a revival of interest in shortwave among the young, I think hardware like this could play a major role. Thank you for posting this!
You use antenna without pulling out the carrying handle ,it blocks access to the buttons in the top. And you got to extend antenna fully to get good wave of course. But you right about cvoletty,it is surprisingly good for $30-60 they sell this thing on e-bay,amazon department stores and etc. It is out there under 2 different brand names such as 'SuperSonic' and 'QFX' difference is only in little details of design,both comes with or without Bluetooth option,so pay attention if it matters to you.)) But overall it is a good radio and it is really good for catching FM waves in my area ,loud and clear!
Looking forward to buying it! I have 2 bomb boxes and I want a 3rd one ! ☝️ Oh and just a tip ! Bass is pronounced like “base”. Not Bah-SS”. That’s a fish Lol
Would you if not already, do a video on recording to tape testing the microphone built in. For say reference of musicians who like recording them selves or bands.? Just a voice test unless you have some one that does music. I would love to hear it.
I just ordered one off of ebay for $36 and free S&H. The model # is QFX J22U, and the one I found records to mp3 as well as to the cassette. It will also let you record from the cassette to mp3.
Hello sir, do you think you could please upload a video demonstrating the tape function more like recording voice (if possible) and stuff like that? Thanks.
Just ordered one of these so I can jam out to my tunes while unicycling. Walmart is apparently selling them online for like $25 with free in-store shipping, so that's what I paid. Modern bluetooth speakers are more convenient but really lack the awesome style of my childhood, so I pretty much bought it for the style. :) The only other retro boombox I've seen is the Lasonic i931x GhettoBlaster, which is way more expensive (although probably has a little better sound). Anybody know any other modern boomboxes with an 80s/90s style?
WON'T YOU PLEASE PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS ON using the four buttons. How to record using those four bottom buttons for the USB and MEMORY CARD, especially "how to pause while recording via the USB or Memory Card"? Thanks in advance.
So, I have J-220BT version of this unit, and I was wondering (since the manual seems a bit vague on this detail), can you record a cassette tape onto a USB/thumb drive? I don't believe it can but just thought I'd ask. Thanks. Nice video.
hello, have this exact model, but i purchased that to record K7 from MP3 ... the audio from the MP3 pendrive is awesome ... however, when i record it into the K7, the sound quality becomes really poor, noisy, etc ... any tip for improving it ?
I have one of these radios. I wonder if you realize that you can record your tapes to MP3 or MP3s to tape. You can also Bluetooth the music in your phone straight to the radio. I love this little radio. The main reason I got it was to convert my old tapes into MP3s
@@dillonwalshpvd you will have to record to a jump drive using the radio first. You can find videos for this procedure. Then plug the jump drive into your computer and move the files to your to SD card or iPhone
@@dillonwalshpvd I forgot it had it. I was only using jump drives in it. I would imagine the same procedure for recording to a jump drive will work with the SD card the same way
The most important feature: converts cassettes to MP3s. Good value; but the inserted freq scale is off! For ex, tune in to 1450 but dial shows 1600. That's aggravating but hey!
I had this for over 3 years. It still works but the cassette player starts to slowly lose pitch after 2 minutes of play. Happens when it's plugged in or on battery.
Can it record in stereo or is it in mono? Does it have an adapter with power chord, because if it runs on battery and you use it as a recording tool, it will run out fast.
Mine arrived broken. Fragile plastic casing. The internals were all over the place and I was able to reweld it. I also noticed that the antenna wasn't even connected to anything, it's fake but theres a coil inside that I rewired into the antenna. Made it work but internally it's cheap and ebay refunded me so it's a win for me. The hande is really fragile as well, if possible carry from the bottom and not the hande b
this specific model J-21U doesnt have the record ability for the usb or sd. the J-22U has the usb and sd recording feature. you can record onto cassette via the radio, & usb/sd playback.
Question? In order to make a cassette mixtape, all I have to do is put a blank cassette in the boombox press record on the song I want n it automatically gives me the song I want?
I actually was a little surprised at the size ... the pictures make it look bigger. but it's still a nice sized radio... quite heavy once you put 4 D cells inside
Radio is fine. Actually purchased a few years ago for the purpose of the tape player.' For one reason or another i never even tried the tape player for at least 2 years. Today i tried the tape player and it doesn't work and I'm stuck because the guarantee has run out, and I don't remember who I purchased from on the internet. That's what happens when your over 85 years old. Now what should i do?
I have bought one of these for myself plus a few as gifts. While most are still going strong, one did have a defective tape unit. As you have seen yourself and through comments, the tape deck appears to be the most likely part of this unit to fail. Walmart has the Sony CFD-S70BLK for $58, and it has both tape recorder/player and CD player. Based on reviews I have seen it might offer more robust construction. While we’re past the day when Sony reserved their name only for premium quality goods (we’re both old enough to remember the excellent Trinitron TVs), I think they can still be depended upon not to slap their logo on total junk. Obviously with this QFX you’re rolling the dice to a degree in order to pay half the price of the Sony, so it just depends how lucky you feel as far as whether you try another one of these or pony up an extra 30 bucks or so for the Sony.
Hi there. I've found a seller who will import this to the UK, I've been thinking of getting one of these for a while although I did get put off by some negative reviews. I know that most if not all the features are mono but it seems like a deal. should I take the plunge? ;) excellent review I hope to see more videos of this gem :)
OfficialSWLchannel Hi, I haven't bought it yet but I am considering it. I listen to Radio Romania International to, almost everyday and it's taking effect on how much I'm spending on batteries. At one point I did look at the Panasonic RF-562D because of the long battery life, however. If I can get hold of a radio with shortwave, mp3 and cassette player for the same if not very close price the QFX looks idea for my needs. I still buy cassettes XD
Like I said in the video ... what I love is that I had a box full of old shortwave recordings from the 80's and 90's ... I can now listen to them ... some great mamories .. at least with this radio you have much more for the $ than on the 562D
My local Marshalls has one of these... but for $30. I can't justify that price quite yet, but if it's available for $10-$15 after the holidays i'll pick it up
I bought one of these last year and it wouldn't play my tapes so I returned it in exchange for a new one of the same model and it worked fine for the first month but then it started eating my tapes wtf it was a great radio for the time that it worked properly and I'd like to buy a new one but I don't trust them anymore
you have to clean rollers that move tape and sound head(sensor)with strong alcohol. It is collecting dirt when playing cassette so tape stick to it and chewing tape.
On my J-22U model, it says "convert radio and cassette to mp3 files." This is the only reason I bought this. Not sure about j-21 models. There are instructions in English and Spanish. English is not the first language of the (Chinese?) instruction writers, so it is confusing. I managed to record my voice onto USB, but now I can't remember how. (Frankly, the controls don't feel that great; you can tell w/the lack of subtlety on the volume.)
donde las venden porque lo que yo conozco de esta marca qfx son bocinas grandes amplificadas con blut sd card y usb pero esta radiograbadora se ve bonita y muy completa se parece a las antiguas de 1980 y 1990
Funnily enough the "bass" from Latin "bassus" really does just translate to "base" (as in a floor), which is pronounced the same. It's intuitive enough but the spelling throws people off. I sometimes wonder though why we don't just call it base. That's what it literally means anyway.
Looks like it should have stereo sound, but it does not. It's mono (same thing though both speakers) Even the tape head is the 1/2 track (mono) type. Fun little box just the same, though.
I received it and every thing was great except it was 6 months before I tried the tape deck and it never worked, so I got stuck. I bought it especially for that.
I was wondering why the reception on my radio was below average, So I took off the back cover, Bad quality control on my unit, The main antenna wire from the circut board to the telescoping antenna, Was just coiled around the little screw holding the telescopic antenna to the radio. And the insulation around the wire was not even strip, No wire connecting the antenna !!! What a joke!! But I got working now, And is receiving good now.. 73s
Your Thumb drive is not formatted correctly, works without any issues, same as using a SD card starts automatically you need to have it formatted on FAT32
Are you sure you've got mp3s? I had originally dropped files from iTunes, but unless you convert them, they're not mp3. Once I converted and played from USB, it worked fine.
bad-ass radio but remember if that system don't have a line out or aux you always cant buy those cassette tapes whit aux line input cheap at Walmart end hookup pc or another electronic device ......
Searching the internet (Amazon) I found many variations of this radio all with the same part number. Prices ranged from $29 to $79. Also various color schemes. Tpm
I got it on ebay from a US Seller... I also seen once with the Coby name on it .. that looks exactly like it. Radio was $25 + about $20 shipping ... so it cost about $45 US
This video DOES NOT DETAIL WHAT USB thumbdrive GIG SIZE FOR MP3 SONGS THIS RADIO CAN HANDLE? 2Gig, 16Gig? Anybody able to get info on what USB THUMBDRIVE GIG SIZE this radio can actually use, please post it on these QFX cassette retro 1980s mini boombox videos, because even the Google links to the QFX operators manuals PDF online wont show what size GIG USB THUMBDRIVE this radio can make full use of, the *so-called quality* of this reproduction of 1980s styled is so bad, the cassette player belt drive stopped working after 1 or 2 months, no wonder a guy used a steamroller to flatten it, thats where the USB thumbdrive info comes in, with the cassette player broken and now useless(*unless the cassette bay is rigged as a continuous playing COB extra bright L.E.D backlighted dummy cassette prop, having no tape spool on the reels for a bar mantle display ;)*) , The USB THUMBDRIVE PORT WOULD BE THE ONLY PLAYABLE OPTION LEFT AS A MP3(4?).
This retro 1980s styled boombox *REPRODUCTION BOOMBOX NOT WORTH ATTEMPTING TO RECORD FROM CASSETTE TO USB THUMBDRIVE-you will be majorly disappointed to learn this USB RADIO *CANNOT RECORD FROM CASSETTE TO ANY USB THUMBDRIVE, this radio cassette player is very deceptive and also *DONT HAVE NO INPUT RCA JACKS for Auxillary device linkup to like an Iphone or other cassette player* also this radio cassette player's cassette deck is very fragile, i only played tapes for less than a month before the internal belt drive(and pullys) messed up...this QFX radio cassette player wouldnt be so bad if this retro design boombox had more rugged durability engineering behind it like the original LASONIC 920 and 935, the CONION C-100f, and several of the Soundesign radios having the dual channel VU meters that was able to hold up longer than their 30 year life expectancy.
DO NOT BUY THIS! I got one for xmas a couple years ago from my in-laws. It sounds like garbage and will eat your tapes. It also only plays in MONO. It is worthless. Go find a retro boombox.

I bought the exact cassette radio 2yrs ago and has worked flawlessly without any issues whatsoever
Where did u buy?
Thanks to this review, I went out and bought this radio. It does remind one of a 1980s boombox. Not the greatest shortwave radio ever made, but a nice addition to my collection.
It is not the best radio ... but the mix of all that is included .. is nice and I actually love it

Winfield Doner What I like of this radio also is the fact that it reminds me of the 80's boombox that I had when I was abt 14 - 15 Years old ..
Mine is a J-22U but it looks exactly the same, works good too😎

Can you hook a phone or an iPod to the USB to play music through the boombox?
Mike Zur No this is only for a USB thumb drive with MP3 files on it
If you purchase a USB bluetooth dongle to insert into the USB port - you can.
It has a aux jack
Thanks for the ideas you have contributed here.
Wow this the SAME exact thing as the NBA 2K16 boombox they have been giving out
Would you if not already, do a video on recording to tape testing the microphone built in. For say reference of musicians who like recording them selves or bands.? Just a voice test unless you have some one that does music. I would love to hear it.

Looks quite good even when using the tape cassette

King Steelo It doesn't. But to be honest this machine probably wont be so good at recording to tape. You can find better recorders at goodwill.

ALERT- ITS NOT STEREO AT ALL! DON"T BE FOOLED
Thank Sir, I don't know but it is a shame...because looks great!!!
Hi from Costa Rica. Can it records cassettes from usb? I would like rca inputs in order to record my music into cassttes.
yes but it is mono only, you would be better off with a better radio
I'd assuming the cassette recorder is DC Bias
Is it Stereo?
Bass is pronounced "Base" in music.
did he mispronounce it? OMG....
Funnily enough the "bass" from Latin "bassus" really does just translate to "base" (as in a floor), which is pronounced the same. It's intuitive enough but the spelling throws people off.
I sometimes wonder though why we don't just call it base. That's what it literally means anyway.
People like this who mispronounce bass are why my father makes jokes about his old "Super-Fish" stereo
Looks like it should have stereo sound, but it does not. It's mono (same thing though both speakers) Even the tape head is the 1/2 track (mono) type.
Fun little box just the same, though.
That is a shame!!!
What is the diameter of the speakers? This is a really cool boom box!
+yoyo3856 about 4 inches ... sound is not too bad ... bot like a real good boombox ..but it is cool
Hey, cool! Our boomboxes have the same speaker size! Mine is a Sony Cfd-S36.
Can you record files from usb or sd to tapes?
yes
is it capable to record MP3 to Cassette tape?
is it loud? I mean very loud, almost where the people next to your house would complain?
Gage Justice yes
Doesn't it run only on batteries or doesn't need to be plugged in to work ?
yes it runs on D size batteries also
OfficialSWLchannel but does it need to be plugged in to work ?
Can i us my phone on it to play music?
You didn't mention it's Bluetooth.
this model is not
how do you select the track you want to hear if its on usb or sd card?
only fast forware or back button, no specific track can be selected
how do select the song from the USB or sd
I received it and every thing was great except it was 6 months before I tried the tape deck and it never worked, so I got stuck. I bought it especially for that.
Is it stereo?
no
How can I send my micro sd card to my usb
I was wondering why the reception on my radio was below average, So I took off the back cover, Bad quality control on my unit, The main antenna wire from the circut board to the telescoping antenna, Was just coiled around the little screw holding the telescopic antenna to the radio. And the insulation around the wire was not even strip, No wire connecting the antenna !!! What a joke!! But I got working now, And is receiving good now.. 73s
Shai Will at least you got that sorted out !
Is it bluetooth?
no
what type of batterys does it use
D
Does this radio have a DSP chip?
I think it does for tuning
Looking forward to the MW scan.
📻🙂
How much
Can anyone tell me how to get mp3s off of cassette tapes?
mono or stereo? I think it's mono, but it's not stereotyped. It is a pity that this spore is the manufacturer.
It wouldve been cool if it had those VU meters.
can I transfer my cassette to my usb on this device
no
OfficialSWLchannel What do you mean it's advertised as such. See the company's own video: ruclips.net/video/W6mr0JpBORU/видео.html
Wish it had aux and Bluetooth
Anyone figure out how to play MP3s off of your USB thumb drive? I have a bunch of MP3s on, I put it to USB and it won't play. I'm stuck.
Your Thumb drive is not formatted correctly, works without any issues, same as using a SD card starts automatically you need to have it formatted on FAT32
What formatting would you recommend on a Mac?
Are you sure you've got mp3s? I had originally dropped files from iTunes, but unless you convert them, they're not mp3. Once I converted and played from USB, it worked fine.
bad-ass radio but remember if that system don't have a line out or aux you always cant buy those cassette tapes whit aux line input cheap at Walmart end hookup pc or another electronic device ......
Dude, they always twisted like that.
You can adjust the “bass” 🐟? Lol With music it’s pronounced like “base” and “place”
bass, middle, and treble
I have sc-3200 but it’s not as loud
Thanks man
WHY does everyone pull the door down ?? Let it open on its own.
Searching the internet (Amazon) I found many variations of this radio all with the same part number. Prices ranged from $29 to $79. Also various color schemes.

I got it on ebay from a US Seller... I also seen once with the Coby name on it .. that looks exactly like it. Radio was $25 + about $20 shipping ... so it cost about $45 US
Thx man
can you record from USB to Tape...wanting to make old school mix tapes.
You can--I'm recording a bunch of mp3s to tape right now. Took me a while to figure it out, but it does work.
Good
its not too bad
but doesn't provide enough bass.
i wish it can provide bass experience.
otherwise its cheap not too bad like i said.

This retro 1980s styled boombox *REPRODUCTION BOOMBOX NOT WORTH ATTEMPTING TO RECORD FROM CASSETTE TO USB THUMBDRIVE-you will be majorly disappointed to learn this USB RADIO *CANNOT RECORD FROM CASSETTE TO ANY USB THUMBDRIVE, this radio cassette player is very deceptive and also *DONT HAVE NO INPUT RCA JACKS for Auxillary device linkup to like an Iphone or other cassette player* also this radio cassette player's cassette deck is very fragile, i only played tapes for less than a month before the internal belt drive(and pullys) messed up...this QFX radio cassette player wouldnt be so bad if this retro design boombox had more rugged durability engineering behind it like the original LASONIC 920 and 935, the CONION C-100f, and several of the Soundesign radios having the dual channel VU meters that was able to hold up longer than their 30 year life expectancy.

I heard that radio was a piece of garbage
DO NOT BUY THIS! I got one for xmas a couple years ago from my in-laws. It sounds like garbage and will eat your tapes. It also only plays in MONO. It is worthless. Go find a retro boombox.
mine been working well for years
