    This was a Christmas gift for my wife and exactly the multi-use system she was looking for. Has a nice simple display and puts out good sound for its size. I looked at several other products but landed on this one based on positive reviews.

    Sound quality leaves something to be desired

    The FM Antenna does not pull in signals very well. The radio stations on FM come in with a lot of static. There are no sound adjustment functions for bass and treble. As such, the sound quality is tinny.

      Coffeeking, we're sorry to hear that the clock is acting up. We'd be happy to assist in troubleshooting at 1-888-999-4215 or [email protected]. Regarding the headphone jack mentioned in the ad, BestBuy is in charge of their ads so it's possible as mistake was made. This does not have a headphone jack, but does offer a 3.5mm audio input. We're sorry for any confusion and hope to hear from you soon. -Customer Support iLive

    Not very satisfied, the front panel doesn’t open right away, you have to keep pressing on the door to open it to insert the CD, not very happy about that. I wish I had bought the other CD/radio system.

    This little home stereo has most of the wanted functions. Unfortunately it has very little power and there's barely any Bass and an extremely cheap remote control which cannot be used in a dim lit room because the buttons are small and not well marked. I bought it for my mom who is not picky. That being said, had I purchased this for myself, it would have been returned in a hour.

    Better to pay more for a product from a more reputable brand than deal with this one’s problems and complete lack of customer support.

    Good radio and CD player. Although if you hold it from the front the CD player opens easily so handle with care.

    I got the system in, and when I opened the box, there was no damage to anything. Set the system up and tested out its features (all except the CD function) and everything worked! Sound quality is great for small rooms. But definitely would not work for large open rooms. Will update when I get a chance to test the CD function.
