This is a very good purchase for us, we needed a portable stereo/CD player that was easy to use on our outdoor patio.
We researched several before deciding on this one and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of sound and ability to balance the sound output . The CD entry is a little tricky because the door does not completely come forward and the CD pin is hung in the center without supporting entry -so it snaps in or out .
It is large and lightweight , the light colors are impressive if you want the effect in your space . Great selection of options with Bluetooth & USB hub.
This stereo has great sound output for the money

I had to search quite a few places but I found what I wanted at Best Buy. This CD player was exactly what I was looking for and more.The quality of this product is great , sounds spectacular and even a light show.I love it , Its also a flash back to when boom boxes were everywhere. Can not complain about this product, and grand children loves watching the lights move to the rhythm of the music.Thanks.

I've read the past reviews, and took the risk purchasing through Deal of the Day. I will tell you I have people offering the full price if I would sell it to them. Needless to say, I've kept it and continue to enjoy this flashback boombox. Although not the quality of sound like the new generation of systems like Bose, Sony, and other brands of the like, the sound quality is pretty good. Obviously, the quality of digital music nowadays is a lot higher, so it is a step up from the analog music played through the original boomboxes.
Overall quality is fairly good. The knobs are cheap plastic, and not the quality as found on the original boomboxes, but if you can look past it, you will enjoy. The only thing I would've appreciated would be having the VU meters rather than the light show, like the ones installed on the JVC and Panasonic boomboxes of yesteryear that I owned as a teenager.
Overall, I am enjoying the boombox, and further enjoy the reaction people have when they hear it playing "old school" rock and R&B.

My brother is mentally disabled. His only true joy in life was hanging out with my mom and listening to music. Recently we loss our sister and mother. My brother looked at least 100 boom boxes and as they are playing out of style we could not find one he liked in person or on line. I have searched for 2 years. None had the sound quality he liked and he wanted one box that was one unit so he could carry on his walks. But we recently loss our mother and sister within 2 months of each other. The loss of our family has truly been heart breaking to our family but more so to my brother who lived with my mom. I made it my mission to find this boom box as it was very important to my mom that my brother have this as it helped relax him. So on Christmas Day when he opened his gift, he was the happiness he had been since we loss our sister and mother. Thank you Best Buy

It was nice to find a modern version of a "retro" boombox like in the 1980's, that plays CD'S and
is up to date to play MP3's with a USB Flashdrive
input and bluetooth too from an external music
player, as I can from my smartphone.
The digital aspects, in red, are useful for showing
the mode chosen, etc. The Peak Sound displays
and blue backlights on the speakers are colorful.
However, the Peak Sound levels are quite sensitive
to the recorded levels, and they reach peak easily.
The Bass and Treble tone controls are helpful.
The AM and FM reception are moderate in their sensitivity, failing to pick up and separate weaker
AM stations, and FM Stereo reception requires a
fairly strong signal. It would be nice to have these
Frequencies in a digital readout, which have been
available for over 30 years.
There are not any recording capabilities such as to
CD's not Flashdrives, which would be nice, but
probably at a greater cost.
So far the internal rechargeable battery seems to
power the unit well.

The sound is fantastic on this box. I love that my husband and son, who like to get their music off of their phones, can use the blue tooth feature. We have listened to the radio as well....I keep getting in trouble for playing my music too loud. It is light-weight and the once charged, lasts a long time. Carrying it around with me on trips to different homes I have...

I love this Boombox! It reminds me of being a kid in the 80’s. The only difference is the sound is so much better than what we had in the 80’s. I’ve been playing all my CDs on it as well as using the Bluetooth. This stereo was well worth the money and a steal for the price. I’d recommend this to everyone!

This retro boom box sounds great, has a lot of features and the rechargeable battery is a definite plus! I mostly use it outdoors but serves me well inside too. An excellent made product that looks awesome! I bought it at bestbuy.com for half off too! Everyone that enjoys music should definite own one of these!

Good sound and cool look and lights. Nice being able to choose from radio, Bluetooth and cd vs my portable Bluetooth. Kinda makes you want to hangout with some friends and skate or onewheel /hoverboard .

Sounds good, the Bluetooth option works great. I keep the lights off to save power. If I wanted a light show I'd hook something up separately. The radio works fine and sounds really nice, I haven't tried the CD player yet. You can get a really good Bluetooth speaker for around this price but if you want a boombox, this isn't a bad option at all.

I looked for a long time for a nice boombox to use on the patio. I tried several of them and sent them back. Finally saw this at Best Buy and I absolutely love it. Being retired and outside a lot, I always take this with me. Cd's sound great and automatically pairs with my phone's Bluetooth instantly. Couldn't be happier!
