Over forty years after its launch, the JVC RC-M90 AKA 'King Of Boomboxes' has been re-created in the form of two replica miniatures which function as bluetooth speakers. Here's my review.

@GaryB007 2 года назад

@@edwinsalisbury83 Back then it was mostly standard mechanical stuff - belts, motors, gears, etc. Pretty much the same as you'd expect now. There were a fair few of them that had been dropped and damaged too. Not surprising considering their size and weight I guess.

@joemck74 2 года назад

You can tell it's been made with love by people who knew what they were doin. I do think they maybe missed a trick by not putting a second USB inside the fake battery compartment - would have made it easier to carry about without worrying about snapping off your stick.

@AliceHawke 2 года назад

Same, the length of the startup chime is three to four times longer than I'd be repeatedly comfortable with, and all the loud chimes when interacting with it (particularly the radio 'tuning' sound effect) would drive me up the wall within a day, which is a shame, as that and the non-functioning VU meter are the only dealbreakers for me.

@worldcomicsreview354 2 года назад

@EssenceOfLoveReborns 2 года назад

I was excited to hear all the chimes. as someone who is totally blind, it's a great built in accessibility feature having those sounds and knowing exactly what mode it's on. I wish more devices would have that. all the sounds are nice and distinct, too. that was my favourite feature.

Fantastic review Mat! I received my Mini and Micro about 3 weeks ago, and I have been listening to the Mini constantly throughout the day! They are great devices, made with very good quality, and look fantastic. My only small issue, is that when you use the Bluetooth function, about a second of the songs get cut off. I believe this to be a software issue that might possibly be fixed in the future via an update. Overall, quite impressive devices from New Wave Toys!

I purchased this small radio its a HRD 701 , it gets AM,FM shortwave and weatherband although of no use down under. for it's very small speaker it sounds way bigger than you would think. I saw someone review it and went and purchased one myself. it also is a bluetooth and SD card play capacity as well.

@cyberyoyo7674 2 года назад

I think the problem here, as Matt has mentioned in past videos, is that literally no one makes a decent cassette mechanism anymore. The electronics can be done, the mechanical bits can't; although the tuning dial on the Mini is a great effort.

@WooferCooker 2 года назад

@CptJistuce 2 года назад

@@cyberyoyo7674 Minor objection: it isn't that it CAN'T be done, it is that it can't be done cheaply. Arguably can't be done profitably at all. The compact cassette is not lost technology. We know exactly how they work and have several mechanisms for study and cloning. But the cost of tooling up for large-scale manufacture would be prohibitive, particularly as there isn't large-scale demand.

@krzysztofczarnecki8238 2 года назад

@@mehmeh5471 They could have used a little OLED display that shows moving VU meters, and when you press the mode switch also the information what mode it's in. If they went through the effort to add a toy cassette I don't see why that wasn't an option (maybe apart from the VU meters not showing when it is turned of and used as decor). Also the toy cassette could have been instead a cassette-shaped USB drive and the socket would be in the cassette slot. With closing being optional in case you want to use a big pendrive. I like the battery door though, you can keep your USB cable in there. And it's not that tiny moving coil meters don't exist. My mum had a Samsung camere with two actual meters that were about 10mm in diameter. But that is probably much more expensive than a generic OLED display.

A tip to minimize background noise/hiss when in bluetooth mode... your bluetooth device can control the volume of your mini m90 boombox - with this in mind set the volume of your bluetooth device (iphone for example) to maximum/highest level. then increase the volume of your m90 boombox to desired level - this will reduce the noise output as you are reducing the sound produced by the m90 while maximizing the sound from the bluetooth device.

I bought the complete kit, the blue speaker and the black speaker mini and 2 of the micro on Kickstarter. I am not disappointed. The black speaker mini is in my kitchen so I can look outside and listen to FM radio. The blue speaker mini is in my game room so I can play some Bluetooth while looking sharp. I have 1 of the micros on a shelf just being shelf candy and the other is still boxed up. New Wave Toys has great customer support, both of my minis had flaws and they sent return shipping for them and I got 2 new replacements without flaws. Both sound amazing and no problems at all. From what I heard there could be firmware updates for these as well, I am curious to see what they can do with the software.

That Micro is really quite good for the size, I was impressed for sure

Love watching your videos especially when you get a non-working gadget working. Oh, you must have a huge attic to store all bits & pieces. Keep making the videos 👍
