Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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 boombox has amazing sound! It’s great to listen to the am/fm radio and hear CDs! I am 100% happy with this product. The price was an excellent value as well.

I I have one in every room. Great quality sound --clarity and volume,. Small enough to be unnoticeable. I love that I can pop a CD in it and put it on continuous play (loop). Very reliable and sturdy. I can be on continuous play nonstop for months or more. Had one for a year and liked it so much that I bought two more.

I needed a CD player so that we could listen a CD that came with a piano music book for my children. I did not use a computer just for listening to CD, and I had a traditional SONY CD player which was maybe more than 15 years old. Unfortunately, it broke down, so I had to buy a new CD player. Then I went to Best Buy near our house, and realized there is almost no dedicated CD player available on sale. Fortunately, Insignia did have this portable CD player, which was very cheap and cheerful, but still serves the purpose. I could no longer find a traditional "CD stereo player" which I used to have since I was a child. Anyway, the sound quality of this player is acceptable given its very low price. Not much of bass sound, but that's expected of a portable player of this size. Lightweight and easy to carry around the house and even outside. It also has a radio, which is a plus as well.

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.

Decent quality, easy-to-operate. We gave it as a gift to an elderly couple who aren't very tech savvy and they've been able to use it easily to play their CDs. The sound is a little thin, but considering the size and price, it's pretty darn good.

the sound quality is amazing, and the volume gets really high. ive had it for about two months and have had no issues so far

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.

Grabbed this in a pinch for my college first-year son when he realized on move-in Day that, without his car, he wasn't going to be able to play his CD collection anymore. Read online reviews of this one and the now expensive version with Bluetooth while standing in the aisle at our local Best Buy, and this one was clearly the higher quality product (just made sure he also had an aux cord in case he wanted to play music from his phone thru it too). Just asked him how it's working a month later, and the title of this review was his response. Space saving but with big sound!

Nice. Good quality sound. Very affordable,lightweight

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.

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.

Good little portable cd and radio. Speakers are not the best but still a good sound for the cost.

Its good. Cd works, and radio. It's a little complicated to program the preset station. After all set, its good.

It is exactly what I wanted: simple and easy to use. And it works both as a radio and as a CD player

Had one previously and it worked fine…finally stopped working after a few years…decided to purchase another one….good sound, easy to use.

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.

This was a gift for my 99 year old cousin who likes to hear music it was perfect just the right size and volume and easy for her to play it by herself
