    Bought a Sony radio on Best Buy for my grandmother. That radio ended up being a dud, as the CD player stopped working after the first day and the radio wouldn’t turn on 80% of the time. Returned that radio and bought this radio by Insignia. For the price, I would say that this radio works really well. The sound quality is pretty good and the CD player actually works, something we couldn’t say about the Sony radio. My grandmother has had this radio for over a month and there’s been no issues or complaints so far. There’s not many radios on Best Buy that have CD players so if you’re looking for that, you can’t go wrong with this radio.

    Beautiful Boombox Satisfies All My Musical Needs

    This Insignia boombox was ordered by and delivered to the Best Buy store of my choice on time in perfect condition. Best Buy kept me apprised of the progress in filling my order. The price was very reasonable. The boombox is working perfectly and producing excellent sound. It is very userfriendly and the manual is well written and useful and does not contain any technical jargon. The boombox, being almost weightless, is very easy to carry from one location to another. By the way, I have in the past purchased Insignia items which have served me well. They lasted a very long time until I finally wore them out and replaced them with newer Insignia products.

    Nice little unit. I needed something to play old audiobook cassettes and this does the trick. Good for small rooms. But, if you’re looking for sound quality and volume this is not what you want.

    This is exactly what I was looking for, and I am really glad Best Buy carries it. I still have many, many cassettes and CDs, and I needed something with the ability to play both while also having an AM/FM radio with the ability to stream music through Bluetooth. Please continue to carry things like this, as cd players are increasingly difficult to find and cassette players are basically impossible.

    the boom box is satisfactory in quality of tone. too many unnecessary buttons to get it to perform. also the carry handle is somewhat awkward and unwieldy. the cd player is easy to use. very satisfied with its performance. i was shocked at the price of the batteries. their were no other choices for these as apparently the preppers bought up most of the stock.

    This was my 2nd purchase of the Insignia Portable CD Boombox. The first one went into my wife's Art Studio, So I purchased a 2nd one from Best Buy. Works Well in my exercise/weight room. I purchased it because I have a couple shelves full of CD's, also a couple large boxes of Cassette Tapes, including all the Time-Life R&R, and songs for the 1950s, 60s, 70,s & Big Band Era, etc. Figure as long as they still play, I'll listen. Did have to read the directions to familiarize myself with the controls before playing; Left a copy of the instructions by the Boombox in case one of the grandkids attempt to turn it on.

    Very handy size for on the go people. Radio is am and fm which is good for those who like to keep up on the news. CD works great and the sound is just okay. Not a lot of volume available but so much easier to handle then my old BOOM BOX ! I only wish it had a remote control which is why it didn"t earn 5 stars. Cassette player is handy for those old ( not antique just yet ) favorites from our box of memories.

    Bought this for my wife. She didn't want anything too "high tech" just to listen to her music when she gets ready in the morning. She loves it. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the first one I got made a ticking noise when playing the FM radio. I returned it for another and have not had any more issues. Nice "old school" device, radio, plays CDs and cassettes, as well as, being Bluetooth capable.

    This product provides reasonable features and performance for the money. The Bluetooth capability lets you get room-filling sound from a phone. Unlike speakers from the Amazon or Google companies, there is no microphone to surveille your conversation. You can operate it with batteries (six D-cells) or with the AC power cord.

    Works well. We bought for the kids but we use the bluetooth on it. The reception on the radio isn't to good but we bought it for the CD player and bluetooth and both work well.
