I understand that this CD player isn’t made by the Emerson company I remember from my youth, but I had high hopes. I got it and upgraded my headphones to a decent sounding pair. I used it in my car a few times, as pairing to a Bluetooth speaker was nearly impossible. The CDs I have sounded terrific, and was looking forward to trying out another, but I wasn’t hearing anything from my headphones…the headphone jack broke loose and was just rattling around the player. I suppose I can still use it in my car, but I am very disappointed.
