    I bought this for my uncle who is 82 and not tech savy. Still refuses to give up his flip phone. I wanted something easy to use and this fits the bill. He listens to his music in his bedroom so this is the perfect size. Couldn't have asked for a better player. Very happy with this purchase.

    I was looking for a CD/Radio player that I could use in my kitchen without disturbing anyone in the living room. This "boombox" only knows how to boom. The lowest level of sound could be hard two houses over. The CD player also skips around in mid song even when the CD is bran new. I get nothing but static on the radio.

    What a great little boombox. I use it in my bathroom so that I can listen to music when showering. The sound is awesome. When not in the shower sometimes I have to put the volume all the way down because it is so powerful. Very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend it.

    I bought this for my stepson along with wireless headphones. It says it has bluetooth but I guess that means that you can connect your ipod wirelessly but you cannot use wireless headphones. Very confusing. All I know, is that it doesn't work together like I had intended. Otherwise, its all fine.

    Purchased this for my husband for fathers day. He needed a new boombox for camping. This is lightweight, small and everything he needs by the lake fishing or by the camper grilling.

    Doesn't cost a lot but it sounds like it did and the Bluetooth makes it great to sync up with other controls like your phone or apple watch

    I was pretty excited when I saw this and I probably would have loved it 20 years ago when I liked to play everything loud. Unfortunately, the lowest volume setting on this was still fairly loud, so I ended up returning it.
