    The lowest volume setting is still very loud. I bought this for my infant daughter's room and there's absolutely no way she'd be able to fall asleep to it.

    Not happy, bought this for my 88 year old mom for Christmas because she has cassettes and CDs and nothing to play them on. Description says it has a cassette player, even says "Cassette capacity: 1" It just arrived and I opened it to check it out - No cassette player! Now I'll have to make a special trip to best Buy tomorrow to return it and hope they have one with a cassette player in stock at the store. Was trying to avoid going to stores this year cause of coronas and all.

    Brought it for my aunt and she had to take it back! It came on but it wouldn't say anything. She just wanted something to listen to.

    Started out fine but within two weeks stopped working. Returning it to the store. This will be a return, not an exchange as it doesn't seem very durable. Had hoped to take it with me on my boat this spring but I doubt that it would hold up on a moving boat when it didn't even last sitting on a bedroom dresser.

    decent boombox for the price

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    bought the ilive mostly for the bluetooth. it paired up with my cell phone instantly. no problems. plays music through my phone perfectly. not many boomboxes available with bluetooth at this price. sound quality is average at best. no equalizer or ability to boost sound levels at all. volume level reached decent level without distortion but not particularly loud. a remote control is not included but would have been a nice feature. the power cord is built into the bottom of the unit which is nice. overall a decent player for my needs.

    I work in a factory and have a hard time finding a radio that I can hear. This is perfect, I haven't even turned up all the way and can hear it just fine. It has great sound. Used only a few days so far but very happy with my purchase!

    Don't use it with the plug.

    Good sound quality. However, I'd say only use it with batteries. When powering it with the plug, the sound quality is bad. Lots of interference from the electrical signal.

    Great Inexpensive Radio

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Powerful little radio. I bought it to listen to only one station on talk radio to listen to daily. Loud and clear, had to turn it down, lol. I have bought many small boomboxes over the years and they do not work too well. So I decided to take a chance on this one due to the reviews. It has a lot of features for a little radio. Would make a nice little gift and not expensive.

    I read the specs and the reviews, but what I missed was the lack of a headphone port. Cant use this at work. I will be returning this to BestBuy
