    Not Worth Buying Again - Poor AM/FM Reception

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    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.

    The sound quality is great and the volume can go quite loud. The buttons work well. The antenna movement is as smooth as the cream cheese on your bagel. It is exactly what my daughter wanted. It was so easy to use, she didn't have to read the instructions to figure it out. She would give it 6 stars if it was purple and cherry scented.

    EXCELLENT BOOMBOX FOR PRICE

    Very pleased with layout of controls (all on front except volume) and operation. Very much like digital display radio tuner. Volume is good for small and medium room even without bass boost--sound quality on CDs is fine. Excellent value for price--better than the more expensive item it is replacing.

    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.

      Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're glad to hear the product has been easy to use and a good fit for the couple you gifted it to. It's great that they’ve been able to enjoy their CDs without any hassle. While the sound may be a bit light, we're happy to know it still delivers solid performance for its size and price.

    It was a gift from my mom. I love that it has a dial for volume (on the side). I'm very surprised I'm getting such great radio reception! Very clear! Great CD sound, too! Very lightweight! Only thing is that the handle seems flimsy and it would probably take a lot of 1.5 Volt batteries if you took it camping or something. Doesn't seem to have any bass or genre options. Sounds pretty awesome, though! Definitely not what I expected from a boombox. LOL! But I grew up in the 80's. It's just what I needed!

    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.

    So far I am really enjoying this little boombox. It's not to big and it's not to small perfect for small areas of your home. If you want to move it around from room to room it's light weight easy to do so. The volume and tone of the radio is good. It does have a radio as well.

    My 13 year-old grandson loves to listen to music but didn't have a radio. He would take my phone and I wasn't getting any of my calls or texts because he always had my phone when he was playing his Xbox. I went on bestbuy.com and this was on sale and the tone is great it gets great reception he just loves it because he can play CDs. He loves the old music so I had some CDs from way back when and he plays those but I think he likes the radio part the best. it's not the biggest boombox in the world but the tone is great everything is great about it I would recommend this product.

    The radio had pretty good reception as it has an antenna you can adjust to get reception. The CD player worked fine. Has a compact size. The biggest negative is it has a very treble sound to it and no way to adjust for any base. Haven't had it long enough to say how well it holds up. For the price it's a pretty good deal.
