Panasonic RX-ED50 CD Radio Cassette Review

There are few premium portable stereos on sale today, and of these the RXED50 is the best. It harks back to the ghettoblasters of the 1980s, with reassuringly solid construction, powerful, dynamic sound and punchy bass. Performance on both radio and CD is better than many micro/mini hi-fis, but it is the inclusion of a very effective twin cassette deck that really makes this product stand out. Thank you Panasonic!

At less than £150, the RXED50 represents good value for money. It can be difficult to find on the high street, but a specialist Panasonic retailer might be able to help. This is surely the last radio/twin cassette/CD portable available, so my advice is to not leave it too long if this lovely machine is of interest.
