Before talking about this great power station, let me alert
you to instructions you need to follow to the letter. At the
bottom of page 2 of the manual you are instructed to
charge the power station to 100% before using. Mine
arrived at about 80%, so I ignored the instructions and then spent a half hour trying to figure out why it wouldn't
deliver any power. I finally noticed a hard to read sticker
on the back of the unit that said to "Activate" the unit you
first had to recharge it (completely). After doing this the
power station worked perfectly.

This power station is well suited for home power outages,
travel, and camping. It has a good collection of outlets
to serve most needs. I particularly like the included
"night light". It draws only 3W, and provides adequate
lighting for a small area - see my photos of it in a dark kitchen on and off. It can provide about 62 hours of light
if nothing else draws power. This can be very helpful
during an evening power outage.

Dual full-range speakers deliver impressive sound reproduction, while Bluetooth technology, USB playback, an AM FM radio and a built-in cassette player offer vast entertainment options. This Ion Boombox Deluxe portable stereo comes with a long-lasting rechargeable battery for convenience.
Can it connect to wireless earbuds?
No, it can not. It has bluetooth ONLY for input - so you can stream music from your cell phone to it (and it does a great job with this). But you can not output using bluetooth. You can, however, connect using the headphone out - and the quality of that output is first rate. You will need to get wired earbuds to do this.

How is the am fm quality pickup. I live in the country.
I live in a small town. I pick up local fm stations, and fm stations within 30 miles with outstanding clarity. The tuner locks on, and there is zero drift (none observed over a 5 hour period, and it remains tuned precisely from day to day). I can't speak to am stations.

It has a built in rechargeable battery. Use the supplied ac power cord to charge it. Make certain the switch on the back is "on" when you do this.

Often your local Goodwill store, and other charity shops, can be a place to find used cassette tapes - generally at very attractive prices.

Can you listen to tapes in the stereo?
I have played stereo cassette tapes in this boombox, and can verify that you get true stereo sound out of the boombox from them. The same is true when tuned in to fm stereo stations, and when playing stereo mp3 files from a usb stick. An added note - the mp3 files obtained from copying stereo cassette tapes using this boombox are also true stereo.
