2.0 out of 5 stars Style over function, can we not do both?, June 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: TDK Life on Record 77000015402 2-Speaker Boombox Audio System (Electronics)
Upfront - if you are not the slightest bit of an audio snob, this thing will probably satisfy you. It's 85% of the way to being a really cool product, however, for me and at $400 I want 99%.

All of the other reviews are relatively on point, it is heavy, it will play loud, it does look sexy as a supermodel.

From an audio snob's point of view here are my complaints:

1. The AC adapter, iPod cable and antennas are all external. Meaning you could have as many as 4 plugs hanging off this thing in a mass of black wire spaghetti. For $400 I want an internal antenna, internal cable routing, all of that. There's no reason a product designed to be this stylish should have a mass of cables hanging off.

The AC adapter, AM and FM antennas all plug via various mini plugs into the back of the unit, meaning they stick out, so you cannot lay it down, which is just stupid. They are all removable, and you KNOW you're gonna lose 1 or all of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best on the market, September 21, 2011

This review is from: TDK Life on Record 77000015402 2-Speaker Boombox Audio System (Electronics)
Many of the Amazon reviews mention the weight of this unit as a negative attribute, even saying that the unit is not truly "portable". I wonder if these people have ever owned true high-powered, quality speakers. This boombox is SO loud and sounds SO good, I'm suprised it doesn't weigh twice as much. If I had wanted a light radio with tinny, empty sound, they could be found for hundreds less in any discount pharmacy store. For those that claim you can't take this thing to the beach, poolside etc., I would recommend vitamin supplements. Not only is it easy to carry, you WILL be the envy of wherever you bring it.

I bought this as a gift for my wife. I considered a BOSE or CAMBRIDGE tabletop unit, but decided I would opt for something she could take poolside or on weekends to our small cabin. This radio looks gorgeous on granite kitchen counters, wooden bookcases, on top of the piano, on a desk, anywhere. Pre 1970, radios were made to look like furniture that would fit... Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
It's big, think the size of a small tabletop. It's heavy, like 15 pounds. But I guess what's most important, there's a great big sound packed inside that sleek black box. You'll make quite an impression on the beach and people will be able to hear you over on the next island.

As a member of the Geezer crowd, I'm probably not the demographic TDK is really after with it's new "Life on Record 77000015402 2-Speaker Boombox Audio System." But, hey, I like to listen to tunes as much as any 18-year-old.

Springsteen sounds great coming out of the two six-inch coaxial drivers. Dylan, too. The TDK picks up every screech and yowl, all the bass and treble. Of all the devices in my house, this one wins the ribbon for best sound reproduction, at the lower decibels, too. I think next Halloween I'm going to hide it in the bushes and plug in a Yoko Ono album. I figure that will raise some fright in the neighborhood.

For versatility, I give the brick a five. You can... Read more
