Review: Great sounding stereo at a great price - This little stereo packs a big sound! It is small, easy to move around and to travel with. It has everything I looked for at a low price. The radio works well, picking up many stations. The cd player played my home burned cd's as well as pre-recorded ones. I liked that it has an auxillary for connecting my phone to so I can play music on it through the stereo speakers. The headphone jack was great for when I wanted to listen quietly & not disturb anyone else. I liked this stereo so much that I re-ordered right away and bought 2 more for my sisters!
Review: Delightfully simple - This CD player will not win awards for sound but if you're looking for a compact, basic sound machine, this will fit the bill. The simple, near-absence of digital controls makes it a great plug-and-play device for we of the technologically challenged group. There is no streaming, pairing, programming, or connection to WiFi. Just plug the thing in, set the desired sound source with the retro button on the side, adjust the volume and AM/FM radio frequency with the appropriate dial, or pop in a CD, and you're in business. Again, the sound will not blow your socks off. It's actually closer in sound to the old transistor type radios. There's no deep bass; there's actually very little of it and the overall sound could be described as "tinny." The sound is good, though, through headphones. A 5-star rating is admittedly high for a sound machine that doesn't put out the best sound. The ridiculously simple controls and functions, however, is delightfully refreshing and a welcome break from all the latest gadgets out there.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this a quality item or a throw away?**
A: This is garbage. It does not play CDs without odd playback problems. If it had actually worked, it would still be overpriced considering the size. This is my third boombox CD player in the last 30 days. I keep sending them back to Amazon because they are all unplayable junk. I don't know if it's related to the Chinese trade war or if China just forgot how to make a CD player. I'm still looking for a quality (by quality I mean anything that will correctly play CDs) replacement for my last portable stereo which was an awesome Craig Electronics CD Boombox with AM/FM Stereo Radio. Amazon stopped carrying them and replaced the item with this Jensen junk. Still looking . . .

**Q: Can it be used with ear buds?**
A: I purchasedt as a gift for a friend I don't know if it can be used with ear buds I am sorry I could't help you.

**Q: Can you use with batteries**
A: On the bottom of my stereo it says that it takes 8 "C" batteries. However the description only says 6.

**Q: i am looking for a radio that will have good reception and not fade away from station that i am listening to. how is this one?**
A: This radio does seem to pick up stations better than my old one. Nice long antenna and seems to tune in really good without fading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wife is happy with it. Happy wife happy life!
*by B***E on January 5, 2026*

It was a present for my wife. Mainly she plays CD's and she's happy with the sound and it work's well. If the radio reception was good I thought about buying another one for use in my garage but at this point I haven't had chance to bower it and see if it gets good reception in the garage.
