I bought the best Panasonic stereo cd/radio/bluetooth portables to find out how capable these new 'boomboxes' are now that they've dropped the cassette. PANASONIC RX-D552 AFFILIATED AMAZON LINKS UK https://amzn.to/3p8meSg DE https://amzn.to/3QaNqfb US & CANADA NOTE - in the US & CANADA for obvious reasons the range tops out at the D550 instead of the DAB+ equipped D552 - so here’s the USA AFFILIATED Amazon link for the D550 https://amzn.to/3QsP8Zb However you can still find some of the better (in my opinion) older D55 model in the US - and if I were getting one I’d still choose this - so here’s the USA AFFILIATED Amazon link for the cassette playing D55 https://amzn.to/3QdYB6T CANADA See note above - here’s the AFFILIATED CANADA Amazon link for the new D550 https://amzn.to/3vMXVgF and the older D55 https://amzn.to/3P5XIf9 RX-D70 Germany: https://amzn.to/3BTvDov 00:00 Start 04:15 RX-D552 11:08 RX-D70 16:33 USB 19:30 Sound comparison 21:14 Bluetooth 22:28 FM 23:27 MP3 CD 23:48 Timer 24:01 Display downgrade 24:35 BT Headphone? 24:56 Speakers 25:53 Battery life 27:14 Summary 31:23 Patreon credits ------------ Merchandise ---------------- New Techmoan Merchandise is now available. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/nerdkeyz?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=37136753 -------------- SUBSCRIBE ----------------- null ------------ SUPPORT -------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan ******Patrons usually have early access to videos****** --------- Outro Music ---------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSSswVZSgJw ----- Outro Sound Effect ----- ThatSFXGuy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M3-ZV5-QDM ----- AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------ All links are Affiliated where possible.

A) Patrons https://www.patreon.com/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: https://www.patreon.com/techmoan
