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.

This Boombox is perfect! I needed a small player that would play CDs and Cassettes and fit on my kitchen cabinet. The sound quality of this little Boombox is amazing. It is easy to operate and the instructions are clear and exact. I am guessing this item will last at least 20 years!

Bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas and she was elated to have a portable player for her music! So far she has only used the cd player but nice to have cassette capability. It has performed perfectly so far!

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.

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

Quality unit with a few significant flaws

Pros:
-Great sound quality.
-Mostly very sturdy construction.
Cons:
-The front buttons (the main ones you'll be pressing when you're not listening to a cassette) are very small and thus hard to read if your eyes aren't good, and they take more effort to press than you'd expect.
-Bluetooth stopped wanting to connect to my phone after a few months.
-CD player lid feels relatively delicate and will open with just the slightest accidental press.

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.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my dad. He and my mom get plenty of use out this boombox, playing their old cassettes and cds. It has good sound and loud enough to fill a room or listen out in the patio. It did take a few try’s to connect to the bluetooth but has worked perfectly since. I’m completely happy with my purchase.

I use this in my home gym/ workshop when I want to free my ears from my headphones, or want to hear talk radio, blue tooth my phone, or listen to CD's that I haven't burned to my player/ computer. LOL this replaces my Sony CD/tape/radio I got as a birthday present for 8th grade in......1992! It's tape player, CD, and sometimes 1 out of 2 speakers no longer worked so Finally it is time for something new....no worries, Sony is heading for the Shed/ man cave#2.
Plus: Features straight forward, has all new and old tech, battery backup and audio.input, blue tooth, etc...pretty much everything.
Minus: pretty poor audio quality..
Not even a hint of bass, no bass/tone/ running. As a result, I think.this is about $10-15 overpriced. However, others less expensive are ranked lower and you really need to jump up quite a bit in price to do better.
Verdict: Still.a good buy if you want a tape player, CD, audio input, and Bluetooth all in one but don't need this to be the flagship of your house.

I like the versatility of this boombox, especially since it has a cassette function. The sound is really good coming from such small speakers. The sound is even better using earphones. It is compact and easy to carry around.

I am very pleased with this boom box. Sound quality is surprisingly good and Bluetooth connection was easy. Unit has CD player, radio, and a cassette deck that plays tapes and records from disc or radio. Lightweight, which is great for portability. Seems well made and should last a long time if not abused. Price was nice as well!

It is durable, portable and longlasting. The sound amplifiers are great and the features my most favorite part is the Bluetooth, I can connect from phone via to play music. It has multiple options I couldn't believe I can still see a cassette tape player! I came in to buy portable CD player but got more.

The sound is clear and great both for the cassette player and cd player and radio too! The labels are hard to read; but easy to remember after the first time! I love that I can take it with me anywhere in my house and plug it in to listen to music or my teaching tapes whilst I do dishes etc.! Very happy with it!
