Orion SCR-B9 Bluetooth CD Stereo Cassette Player

It was bound to happen: since audio cassettes came back and cassette decks started reappearing, it was only a matter of time until one of the symbols of the 1980s, the boombox or ghetto blaster, returned too. Yes, there was a time when young people would go around town carrying a big tape deck on their shoulder and playing music loudly. And now, with the Orion SCR-B9 Bluetooth CD Stereo Cassette Player, you can recreate that look and sound – but with a 21st-century twist or two.

Faithful to its '80s roots, the 670 x 155 x 275 mm (26.4 x 6.1 x 10.8") Orion SCR-B9 Bluetooth CD Stereo Cassette Player reproduces music from your cassettes and CDs, and also plays FM and AM radio. Because it comes from Japan, it's a fully functioning karaoke machine too – you only need to add the microphone. But it also has Bluetooth so can reproduce music from any compatible device, and USB and microSD card slots to play your MP3 collection or record from a CD, cassette player, radio, flash drive, or microSD card. And like a true boombox, it will also work on regular D-type batteries: eight of them!
