    Radio and cassette player was great. Loved the sound. Did not care much for the buttons...hard to push and in an award position. The cassette player appeared to be a bit fragile because of the plastic things on the inside of the door to hold the tape in the draw. My biggest issue was the CD player would not recognize ANY of my CD's. It would spin, stop and display "NCD" so unfortunately I have to return it and keep looking for a good CD, Cassette player.

    It is pretty hard to find a cassette player these days! but I had a bunch of old cassettes and had been on the hunt for a while. My search finally ended at Best Buy--was happily surprised by the quality sound and sleek design. Great, affordable price. Well worth the search! Thank you Best Buy!

    Great portable player. Used it in a brand new loaner car to listen to audio CD's, since I don't have mobile subscription. Worked great. Sounds good. Wish it came with the AC adapter cord, but didn't need it for my 16 hr round trip. Haven't tried the cassette deck yet, but hope to soon.

    I bought this for my mom because her old-timey radio (the one with the integrated alarm clock & red numbers) yes, that one! …. Stopped working and my mom needs music when she’s in the kitchen, so I got it for her so she can jam out while making breakfast, lunch or dinner. I showed her how to Bluetooth it to her phone, now she’s unstoppable. ;)

    Sounds very good, both cassette and cd work well. My only complaint is the speed of opening the cassette door. It's very slow. Other than that it works as expected.

    The sales gentleman was very helpful as we selected the boombox. There wasn't one in stock so he arranged to have it delivered within a couple of days. That happened. We are very satisfied with our experience with Best Buy here in Logan.

    Insignia CD/Cassette boombox with bluetooth

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

    I bought this boombox as soon as it went on sale. The sound is okay. Maybe it would sound better if my cassette wasn’t so old. The only issue I have encountered with this device is that I have not been able to pair the boombox with my devices via bluetooth ( cell phone, iPad Air, iPod). Also You need to use force to deal with the turn on/off button and some others, but that doesn’t bother me. I didn’t buy it for the Bluetooth. I got it to replace a broken boombox, so the bluetooth is no big deal. I did buy a Jam speaker with bluetooth which pairs with no problem.

      Hello Helen,

      Here’s info on how to pair properly :

      - Cycle source button to Bluetooth(Bt)
      - Pair phone to NS-BBBT20 within 20 seconds;

      If this doesn’t occur within 20 seconds, cycle the source button to Bluetooth (Bt) again, and attempt to pair.

    Yes, the CD player works very well. I have not used the radio or tape player yet. The light stays on when it is done playing, you have to turn it off. It is easy to use and easy to carry with me. I kept the box for traveling so it arrives safely. The cord is easy to get on the product. I have an older player that it is difficult to get the cord on securely.

    good choice for someone looking for a convenient portable cassette player to play your cassettes on. It is so far reliable and allows me to play my old cassettes that are otherwise just setting in storage waiting to be thrown out. I would recommend it for personal listening at a volume suitable for one or several persons to simply enjoy old school technology.

    The boombox sits on my 96 year old dads nightstand. He's a jazz lover and he plays it everyday and sometimes during the night while sleeping. It sounds good and is easy for him to operate. It's a best buy for me.

    It's very loud, It sounds like a car radio at max volume. It fills the living room with theater sound. There is static when it comes to the Am/FM radio but you can hear what's being said, besides I like listening to CDs. I like that it is multi functional and it blocks out unwanted noise. I threw my pink radio away that I had since Elementary because it is worn out. Great deal.
