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.

Regularly asked question
Q) Why are there comments from days ago when this video has just gone live today?
A) Patrons / techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version. If you want to see the videos early too, you can sign up to Patreon here: / techmoan

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.

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.

It's nice to see a company putting that much attention to detail and yet still making a quality product, usually quality is the first thing that gets sacrificed. These are not something I would be interested in myself but I can see it being popular with a lot of people. Let's hope a few other companies go down the same path as I can see many people wanting an old looking radio for example but with new modern features and would be willing to pay for that if the quality was there.

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.

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 can easily take it up two flights of stairs or out in my backyard with no problem.

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.

@@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.

@@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 real breath of fresh air after the craptastic LED spectrum analyzers from a week or two ago. Pretty amazed by the apparent sound quality! Way better than I was expecting for both the units.

Although I have gave up long ago trying to find an old school Boombox, ended up buying a Bumpboxx Flare 8. But these reproduction M90's are so cool

Thanks for adding the new bit. I was also wondering about the tweeters.

Too bad I didn’t know about this when the kickstarter was going on. I’ll be buying once it comes back in stock. It will be perfect to go to the drive in theater in style since audio is broadcast through FM.

I still have the first (cassette) walkman I bought back in the early nineties, I also had a Brant boom box.

Man, if demand for this guy wasn't already sky high (sold out, as mentioned right at the end of the video), it certainly will be after that glowing review!

When I saw your link to this episode I thought I wouldn’t enjoy it but I really have enjoyed this and I would Definitely purchase the device if they where in stock, thanks for showing this.

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 👍

A quick Google search told me that a real one is 4000$+ for high quality examples. Dang, this is more than my car is worth. And that's not even half the age

That mini is amazing! Would be a total no-brainer for me if it had shortwave too. 👍👍👍
