    It is hard to find a compact AM/FM, CD and cassette and this checks those boxes. Fine as radio but not suitable for big sound at an outdoor party. Looks like a cheap mini boom box.

      I appreciate your enthusiasm for finding a compact player that meets your needs! I'm glad to hear that it performs well as a radio, and it's great that it checks the boxes for AM/FM, CD, and cassette. However, I understand that it may not be suitable for large gatherings or high-volume music playback. We know that our boombox may not have the same sonic capabilities as larger, more powerful speakers. We'll take your feedback into consideration and strive to improve our future product designs to meet a wider range of needs. Thank you for sharing your honest review!

    When I initially pulled this from the box, I noticed the buttons on the top were not even lined up straight on the unit (see picture). It appeared cheaply made. Upon playing a cassette tape, the player fed the tape too quickly through the unit, playing it too fast. The player did the same with another tape. Then, it played the same two tapes just fine. The sound on the unit was 'tinny' and simple. I am disappointed that Best Buy backs this brand.

    I was so excited to buy this item because I have a cassette tape that is really sentimental that I wanted my son to hear. The tape recorder worked for one week and then just stopped. I am very dissatisfied with it. This was an out of the box item that was tested in-store; therefore, I did not expect it to die on me.

    Nice little boombox! Lightweight, good features including headphone jack and 10 radio presets. Cds and tapes play fine. Good volume but poor tone. Everything sounds muddy especially at low volume. Good headphones help but definitely limited by boombox. Same headphones sound better plugged into phone or laptop. Still worth it compared to what's out there. Not too many cd/cassette/radios available! Plus Insignia is a Best Buy brand so it's widely available and supported.

    Excellent Bluetooth hooked up on my laptop to my favorite radio station on line! It’s portable so I can sit outside with it. I like the CD record player for my old time favorite or new tunes also! It takes 6 size D batteries so you can bring it with you outside for an evening picnic, too!

    Very nice product with many features. Cassette deck and bluetooth/aux in are all as loud as radio when playing. Radio antenna picks up stations well. Sound is clear at higher (not highest) volume number. Good enough to carry over a hot tub blower running. 2 drawbacks...everything is push button for every function. I see future issues with that. Also the back hole where the AC cord plugs into is frail. It broke off back into the boombox and is quite a pain to use now. It has 6 months left on warranty

    For the price, this is a good boombox. It has very good sound. The cassette, CD, and radio works very well. There are a few things I wish were different. I was hoping it had a real rod antenna rather than a limp wire type. I would prefer pushbuttons that were easy to push. The buttons require much pressure to activate. I also wish there was a remote as those did some twenty years ago. Overall it is a good unit with good quality. I would buy another one.

    I wanted an inexpensive boombox that would have pretty good sound. I wanted it to have a radio, CD playing capacity, and if it could play my old cassette tapes, so much the better. This little boombox does all of that. Of course the sound is not like what it would be on a fancier set up. But this is simple to operate , doesn’t take much space, And is versatile. I’m really really happy with it.

    Great little boombox, with only minor downfalls. I love the versatility and options on this. Sound quality is decent, easy to use/set up. Wish it had a remote, mainly because a couple of the buttons aren't as responsive as they should be, meaning you have to push hard and exactly right on them to respond and the only other con is the labeling on the buttons is hard to read depending on the lighting and angle. I have it on my dresser and have to be eye level to see what I am hitting, since the labels are kind of etched in and also in silver, blending in with the boombox. As far as use though, works great and I use it daily.

    I liked this Insignia boombox and like it so much I came back and bought another. I was having trouble with static in my old boombox. Now I have clear sound. This mdel can also save 10 radio stations making it much easier to change amongst them, esp. going between AM & FM. It also has DVD and cassette players. Compact & Useful.

    Good unit to playback old cassette tapes and CDs. Decent sound for what it is. Could have better bass but overall it brings long-forgotten music media back to life. Purchased for an elderly family member to relive old memories of singing. The front controls are small and a bit hard to read for old eyes but fortunately there's not many buttons to deal with. It would be nice to have a see-through cassette player door but it's easy enough to just press play and let the good times roll. It comes with a carry handle for portability and fits nicely on a small table or shelf. It's also light enough to set on your lap. Bluetooth connectivity is handy as is the standard 3.5mm headphone jack for private wired headphone listening. Would have given this review 5 stars but the price was a bit much for something that in my opinion, should cost less. I guess it's the price you pay for an item not readily available elsewhere. Nice little boombox though!

    I really like this Boombox. The radio really has good reception and other radios I got at Best Buy do not, we live outside San Marcos. The CD works well, and I hope the cassette does too, I am looking for my cassettes now. The Boombox is light also which is a great plus for me.

      We're so glad you're loving your new boombox! It's fantastic to hear the radio reception is working so well for you, especially since you've had trouble with other radios in your area outside San Marcos. We appreciate you mentioning that specifically - it helps other customers in similar locations. We're also happy the CD player is working well, and we hope you find your cassettes soon to give that a try too! The lightweight design is definitely a plus, and we're glad that's working out for you. Thanks for sharing your positive experience! - Carl | Insignia Products BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    It’s pretty good. It works right out of the box. It’s lightweight. Has the ability to be CD player, tape player, and A.M/FM. Radio. Has ability to be operated on batteries. Buttons are a little but hard to push down at times it seems. Great for nostalgia, bust out the old tape sets and CDs.
