Customer Ratings & Reviews

excellent sound quality. plays cd's i have well. it is also a really good size for portability. like it very much -- well designed!

Easy set up, it haves a great CD player, digital AM/FM stereo tuner. Great sound and includes AC power cord .Very light weight making it easily portable has an appealing price tag

Excellent size for a small desk or nightstand. The first time you use the radio it takes a few times to tune to find local radio signal/stations, but it works great after that adjustment.

Bought this item for sister in law and she seems to really enjoy it. Good sound and easy for her to use as she is in her 80's.

This is a nice sized boom box. Not too big or two small. It has a good sound and is easy to operate. I love that it has a radio with it. I bought it for my grandchild who is 10 and she loves it.

My disc changer in my truck died and I couldn't find anyone who could fix it before I started a long road trip. I have albums and albums full of books on disc. I went looking for an inexpensive ac/battery boom box for my trip. This is light weight, easy to operate even while driving and was not expensive. It gives good sound even for my music discs. I am VERY satisfied.

Needed an AM-FM-CD -wanted something with good sound; not looking to cobble components. The choices are scarce here and led me to portable "boom-boxes". It is mid-2021 and teh shelves are near bare - this was the only one I could get. It was inexpensive, obviously the Best-Buy knock-off brand from China - was I surprised when I turned it on!!!! Reception is good, sound is good (not as full as my echo dot but good) & the CD player is good. Buttons are small and the labeling even smaller (PIA) - - But for the price, I filled my need and will most likely not replace it. I am very satisfied and would recommend this.

This was purchased for my father to listen in his garage. He loves it. The radio and CD player work well. It is compact and easy to get started.

I bought this combination CD / Radio for my sister as a birthday present. She tells me it sounds good and works well. It is easy to use and compact. Good value for the low cost.

Just what we needed. Nice look that blends w black finish electronics, size, sound.

This boom box function just as advertised. Easy to use, the sound is fine and it’s portable.

Easy to use. Very lightweight. Sounds great enough to fill a small to medium size room or garage.

I received a Victrola as a gift so I could play radio, c.d., and vinyl, and the supposed value was approximately $175. It worked less than a year, and with no warranty insurance extension purchased by the gift giver, it feels like a waste of a product. Considering where the company manufacturers this externally fun looking but internally inept audio product, and how also the U.S. doesn't provide replacement parts because of who sources the victrola, I decided to never spend more than $40 on another piece of audio junk made in the same country. A quality turntable is in my longview, but as someone who needs to listen to music every day, I opted to give this $29.99 Insignia boombox a whirl, so I could at least access radio and c.d., while the vinyl patiently awaits my budgeting it an outlet for source into my life. It has only been a month since I purchased this Insignia boombox, so it's dubious to whether a 4 star review will hold up past a year, but so far, it works, and it's very lightweight, and charges by plug in and battery both. I did purchase insurance at a reasonable cost of an additional $10, so that if it spontaneously fails in less than 2 years, I can exchange it for another one. So for $40 I know I will -at minimum- have c.d.'s playing and radio for two years or more. The sound is good and the speakers provide the fill of my home if I desire it. Added bonus : I recommend a device like this for anyone with rambunctious pets or small children. You can put it up high out of their reach and move it quickly if need be. It's also a relief to not have to sweat the possibility of more than a $40 loss if any damage to it occurs bc of little ones--four-legged, or two! :)

I needed a little boombox for my garage that was affordable. This fits the bill exactly. The sound is surprisingly good for the size and price, plays all my cds, normal as well as burned, and the radio worked fine the few times i tried to use it. Only issue I have had is needing to remember that the CD will not register unless you press the cd onto the spindle in the player. a bit less auto than expected, but for the price no real issue.

This is a great little basic boombox. I didn't need anything with lots of bells and whistles, and I needed something relatively compact to fit on a shelf in my living room. Surprisingly good sound quality.

Very nice radio/cd player. Perfect for my garage. Has nice sound and volume. No issue with reception either.

Easy to operate, easy to adjust sound & has helped me to have better rest at night by having the music volume setting to play all night! I have tinnunitus & this has been a blessing for both my husband & myself! Thank you!!

For my money it delivers the goods. Wanted a replacement to play CDs. Player on big boom box died. Sound quality is good, pickup of my favorite FM and AM stations is better than on my big boom box. Being portable I take it to the laundry room to listen while washing clothes. I use the headphone jack a lot. Only drawback are the small buttons, hard to read what they are for.

I bought the Insignia CD Boombox for my elderly mom who likes to listen to music in her garden. I bought the unit because it is compact, lightweight, and easy for her to carry. I liked that the CD player had a lot of extra features such as AM/FM, auxiliary input, and it can work on batteries or plug in. I give this unit 2 stars because all of the features work, barely. Unfortunately, the Insignia CD Boombox does not meet our needs. The idea was for mom to listen to music outside without having to carry her laptop, or a bunch of CDs while still having the ability to play CDs or connect to an iPhone when indoors. It was supposed to be easy to just carry the unit and listen to radio. The problem is that the receiver is poor on this unit. Am gets only a couple of stations and when on FM only one station comes in totally clear without static. I have a handheld radio for emergencies, and it gets all the local AM and FM stations clearly. Mom had a similar Insignia CD player before that performed well and lasted for years but this unit is a loser from the get-go.

Simple to operate with good sound. Light weight and portable.
