This Cassette and CD Player Wows Tech Expert John Tones: “My Tapes Sound Better Than They Did in the 80s”

I don’t know about you, but at home I have a ton of cassettes and CDs that I have nowhere to store. There are cheap or second-hand options to play them, but the vast majority offer ordinary sound. Is there an alternative that breaks this rule? Yes: it’s from Medion, it sports a stunning design and, as our Xataka colleague Jonh Tones explains, it delivers sound quality that surprises in many cases. It currently costs €179.95 at MediaMarkt.

A CD and cassette player that’s far more

Glancing at this Medion device, it’s not hard to think of one of those enormous boomboxes that were all the rage a few decades ago. But don’t be fooled: it’s a modernized device that lets you listen to cassettes or CDs, but also music via a microSD card or a USB drive.

But what is the true appeal of this Medion player? As explained by our Xataka colleague, it’s the ability to play formats that have long been around and you listen with very high quality, especially thanks to “very powerful bass”.

Another very interesting aspect of this device is that it supports DAB+, the most advanced radio standard there is. This way, we can use this player just as we would with one from a few decades ago, but elevating the sound quality. All wrapped in a great design that will give any room in the house a striking touch.
