Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm happy with what I have and recommend getting it

Good radio for our pool room. My husband and kiddos all enjoy having this to listen to

Nice stero and speakers. Looking forward to putting on deck this summer.

I love this! Kinda wish I would have went with one that held more than one cd other than that it is great!

Nice sound, nice price. Early arrival. Great for small spaces.

There is no display so there is no way to set it up, no way to see volume levels, no menu, no sound adjustments, no tuner display, no clock and no tracking. The seller gave me a phone number to call to see if they’ll fix it for me. Terrible customer service.

Item just as described - nothing else to add about this product.

It was very good for the price but it got delayed so many times

The Panasonic Stereo System is a nice compact system that is capable of playing CDs, connecting a device via Bluetooth, and the ability to play Radio stations. The system is quite easy to unbox and get up and running. The speakers connect to the audio system via a spring load traditional setup. The speaker sides are made of a composite wood type material with a mesh fabric in the front. The speakers sound fairly good, but they are lacking in bass. Even when I crank the bass settings all the way to the max, it’s still not as much bass as I would like. The CD system does a great job of playing CD’s. The load and eject tray is smooth with not glitches. When using the Bluetooth setting, my mobile device was able to easily connect to it, which allowed me to play music from my mobile device that would play through the sound system and speakers. The unit will also play local Radio stations. The antenna has to be connected to the back of the unit. If it’s not connected you will only hear static. The unit has a large volume button that is easy to grab. However, I feel as though it’s not as smooth while turning the knob. Perhaps it will loosen up over time. Overall, it’s a good unit for playing from multiple sources.

Wow…I really missed having a CD player! So, I got this little stereo even though I have streaming services (I do not pay for them) and a “XXXhome” that will play most music. It is a real pleasure to listen to the radio, stream through Bluetooth, and play CDs ( the way I used to). I’m in my late 50’s and all the technology is not easy for me, so this is how I can listen to my music-the CDs I have already paid for (thousands of dollars over the years) and have had for years-without interruption. And without an engineering degree. The stereo is very basic and it comes with a remote control making it perfect for the office. The small speakers are excellent sounding and non obtrusive and connected with speaker wire. A little wire antenna that I taped to an outside window ensures good reception. The only thing I would add is a way to program radio stations so I don’t have to search. Maybe there is a way and I missed it in the instructions-I’ll look again! I think this is a perfect gift for us older people.

The Panasonic PM270 CD player is a decent little stereo setup, one that offers most of today’s technology. The CD player comes packed with 2 bookshelf speakers, a remote control and an FM antenna. Setting up the player is extremely easy, it’s all plug and play. For such a small package, this player offers quite a bit of features… Aside from the CD player with an ejectable drawer, there is a front USB port to play music directly from a USB drive, it also offers Bluetooth and an FM radio. The player has a built-in amp that offers 20w RMS output (10w per speaker). The stereo also has several built-in EQ presets, that can totally change the sound of the music depending on your preference. There is also a bass booster that offers even extra bass past the normal threshold. Considering the size of the unit and the speakers, I wasn’t expecting much in terms of sound quality…Luckily, I was pleasantly surprised at how loud this can get. I tried out a few of my CD’s first, I tried everything from rock to rap. It sounded a little muddy at first, but after adjusting the treble and bass to my liking, I was impressed as this stereo sounds pretty good. The speakers offer a pretty decent sound range and like I mentioned, this little system can get very loud. I also tried out a few burnt CD-R’s that I had, to see if the stereo would play them…and yes, it played them just fine. I tried out the Bluetooth function next. I had no issues trying to connect it to my iPhone and there is practically zero lag when changing tracks. I wasn’t able to notice anything special about the Bluetooth playback, other than it sounded just as good as a CD does. The one thing I would have liked to have seen would be the track text info on the player, instead of it just saying iPhone. Overall, I like the Panasonic PM270 CD player. It’s perfect for a small workshop, garage, or a single room. The Player gets plenty loud enough for you to be able to hear it, and the sound quality is good considering the size of the speakers. The ability to connect to it via Bluetooth is a huge bonus, as well as being able to connect a USB device for music. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a simple and easy music solution.

This is a fairly solid system for anybody who wants something simple but still has some versatility. Setting up the stereo was easy for the most part. Installing the speakers still requires you to stick in loose wires into the back of the console, so I was afraid of putting them in wrong or accidentally snapping the wire. Thankfully it all went well, but I would rather something more solid to plug in. This also comes with a separate ferrite core, which is usually already attached to a power cord for most devices. The instructions weren't the clearest on how to use it, so for anybody scratching their head about this, you need to basically loop the power cord through it twice. Look up Youtube videos if you need to, as I had to resort to this to make sure I was doing things right. The stereo can be controlled via buttons on the console itself, or through the included remote. What's not included, however, is a AA battery, which I felt was an odd exclusion. You don't need it immediately to start playing music, but keep this in mind while purchasing this system. In terms of functionality, everything I've tried so far has worked fine. Scanning for radio stations is easy, though there doesn't seem to be an option to save favorites. CDs and USB drives play on it with no trouble, so if you enjoy those forms of physical media, you're in luck. The Bluetooth function will probably be the most handy for everyone, since it seems to work with any other device with that option. I gave it a try with my phone (Android), my laptop, and my Nintendo Switch, and all paired with no issue. The system includes options for adjusting the bass and treble of audio, but I honestly didn't notice a difference when changing them. There's also a spare sticker sheet with English and French labels, I assume in case text on the system or remote fade away. Overall though, I'm happy with this stereo, and can recommend it for those who want something basic yet offering a few options if needed.

Having had a chance to try this system on several different occasions throughout a good solid week I have some thoughts to share on this system. First, my initial impressions were somewhat questionable when unboxing it as I was somewhat skeptical in terms of how good this system would sound base on outward appearance, but it actually surprised me after setting it up. Also, when unboxing it I noticed that there were no batteries included for the remote which is a little shocking for something like this when most things that have remotes do come with batteries which had me questioning seriously how good this thing might actually be where a corner was cut on that. How it sounds ---- This system sounds pretty good, even at loud volumes that fill the room, but clearly this system is designed for casual listening, and it does that very well. After putting a CD in and listening to some alternative rock that I used to listen to in high school found myself reflecting back to those times. The bass is good and clean but not too loud, mids were good for vocal and highs were decent. I would say the sound is fairly well balanced for what this system is, and perfect for a casual listener who wants to do what I did and pop in some old CD's and just have some background music play while reading or doing work or stuff around the house. Features - The FM radio works good with it being a digital tuner, the Bluetooth is great, and CDs are great, but I have no idea why Panasonic did not put an Aux Input for a phono player, an AM Tuner in or an HD radio tuner other than to keep costs down. It would have been nice to see at least some of those features, and at the very least the AM Tuner, which is almost a deal breaker to me, especially if you like to listen to public news radio, sports or other talk radio. That said they did include a USB port for MP3 playback which is cool but really not all that useful except in specific scenarios. If you don't listen to AM radio or don't need the Aux input then this isn't a big deal, but it's why moved this review to 3 stars. In all, I was not that impressed with the features as it does lack some that I think are essential but if it has what you need then you won't be disappointed at least with the sound from it. Bluetooth - This is one area I'd say it works very well, once you pair with your phone, PC or whatever you want to pair it with, it quickly reconnects when it's turned on and is immediately ready for playback. Over the last week, I actually like listening to audio on this better than my smart speaker because it sounds better and it's MUCH easier to use. Just open my favorite audio app (Pandora, YouTube Music, etc.) hit play, and turn this system on and boom it's playing there. No fussing with apps, "casting" or settings to get it work, which has always been my biggest complaint with smart speakers where you get locked to using one ecosystem and beyond that it's difficult to use. I'd recommend this system only if it has the features that you need/want like the CD Player and Bluetooth, ... otherwise I'd say look at other models or other systems. Knowing the features it works good, and I'd recommend it if you're using it to listen to Bluetooth or CDs from your collection.

I love everything about this portable stereo. It's small but mighty ad produces and outstanding sound. While there are more powerful systems, this system is extremely compact and provides an array of sound options. It was fun pulling out my favorite 80's rock and roll CD's and loading them into a system that does them justice. The setup is very easy, and the size is perfect for my shelving surface. I like the small footprint, without sacrificing sound quality. The LED readout is visually appealing and easy to read. I haven't had a radio for years and I had been looking for an economical option that would incorporate other audio options, such as a DVD player and Bluetooth connectivity. This turned out to be the perfect solution for what I was looking for. The remote control is an added bonus, giving me full control over the operations of the system. It is important to use the included FM antenna in order pull in local stations. Without the antenna, I wasn't able to access any stations. The small footprint makes this the perfect bookshelf solution. The sound is impressive and don't let the small size fool you. This puts out some amazing sound.

I have to say I am quite impressed with this little stereo system! For the price point this is at, I have to say I didn’t have my expectations too high. I was looking for a small system that I could have in my garage for when I was doing woodworking projects. Out of the box you can tell the unit isn’t the most solid. Definitely made with cheaper lightweight plastics. But honestly, you’re really just going to have this sitting on a shelf so it doesn’t need to stand up to a lot of handling. Setup is very straightforward. Each speaker comes with the speaker wires attached and all you have to do is attach them to the main unit. There is also an antenna cable that you attach for bringing in local over the air broadcasting stations. Then the power cord and that is it! It also comes with a remote that you can access most of the functions of the stereo through. One thing I had a little problem with is the viewing angle of the screen. You have to be looking pretty much directly at it at eye level in order to be able to see the display. If you are lower or higher, you won’t be able to see it. I have this set on a shelf in my garage that’s about 7 feet off the ground (I’m 6’2”) and I can’t see the display without standing on my tiptoes. Now to get into the sound quality. I will say what when I popped in a CD and turned this thing on, I was pretty blown away at how good it sounds. I’m not going to say this is audiophile quality by any means, but for the price you kind of come into it with an expectation of how good (or bad) it will sound. I listen to mainly Rock and metal music. There are separate controls for both bass and treble so you can dial in the tone you are looking for. I found this had very good bass for the size and good high end as well. I think for most people they will think this sounds pretty darn good! I also tested out the Bluetooth on it and I was able to connect to my phone very easily and roam around my large garage without the signal cutting out at all. The regular radio also works very well. We are about 30 miles away from the broadcast towers and had no problems picking up all the local stations without static. Overall, I have to say I was quite impressed and my expectations of this stereo were exceeded. Definitely check it out if you are in the market for a compact stereo system.

Panasonic Bluetooth radio is one of a kind great system for bookshelf. I like that can play classic CDs from the error of another time. They really did a good job here modernizing old tech it’s nice and large, but not too big to take over the whole bookshelf, I love the design and the colors, which isn’t too striking or bold. The speakers get very loud enough to fill the living room. You can especially hear it in the bedroom from afar there is a USB port on the front so you can use old style USB to listen to music. Another good thing on this radio is that it comes with FM. This is great for listening to local music especially from where you’re from. It’s such a simple bookcase CD player. Using Bluetooth was fine, worked though walls. Even goes as far as outside the living space. It does everything it needs to do and the job that it does. It does great. Hooking it up were easy and it was perfect for loud booming sounds. Bass is wonderful. It’s not compact but it’s small enough to take over a large entertainment audio system. I like it five out of five stars.

The Panasonic Stereo system reminds me of the old stereo systems you found in many homes in the '90s. It brings out those nostalgic feelings and lots of great memories to me. It's a classic and elegant design that compliments just about any room. The great thing about the Panasonic Stereo system is how compact it is when compared to many other systems in the market. Although this is only the 20w system, the sounds quality is great. You have nice crisp clear audio that makes enjoy music a blast. You really get the best of both worlds...you have the option to slap in a good ol' CD or connect via Bluetooth. There really is a simple, yet classic, dedisgn to this Panasonic stereo that you truly have to appreciate. You also have a USB port up front that will allow you to charge your device if needed. I was really surprised at how compact the system is. Everything was so easy to hoop up, and I was on my way to great tunes in a matter of minutes. Overall, the Panasonic stereo sounds great and is compact. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Panasonic has really impressed me with many products in my home over the past 20 years and this radio was next up to try and impress me. I have 3 systems from a full 7.1 in my movie den, the 5.1 setup in my garage for shop time fun, and my 2.1 setup for the living room. I needed a new CD player badly due to my 100 disc quitting after 20 plus years. I only have a few CDs I play because they are DJ sets that never went main stream recordings. I thought I would just setup the CD player with my current system but I can say with full confidence, this is not a budget radio. I am so happy with the sound from this 20 watt radio, the crisp sound, tight mids, and smooth bass, is perfect for almost every genre besides heavy rap. I listen to Electronic, Jazz, Big Band, Rock, and Classic 40s, 50s and 60s. Even though I am only 43, I have grown up in the music world between playing sax, DJing, and producing new songs for my sets from scratch. Listen to so many genres has helped me hear what speakers should produce within their limits and price point. The sound quality is not $10k plus quality like my movie den, but it is very satisfying for the size and budget. The CD player works and the LCD screen shows all the information you need at a quick glance. Bluetooth hooks up fast and easy and sounds great with minor amounts of compression at times which is not uncommon for most bluetooth connections. FM and AM radio works as it should, no complaints at all with sound or signal issues. For a little bonus, I am currently running my Digital turn table setup through it to compare it to my old studio speakers and I can say besides low bass, the refernce between the 2 speakers are not far off, which to me is very impressive. I am very happy with this radio and is is not budget sound at a budget price, it is mid teir sound at an impressive price and should definitely be at the top of your list if you need a small footprint CD and Bluetooth Radio.

Nice compact size, but the sound quality is tinny.

This compact stereo system is quite interesting as it offers not only CD playback capability, but also Bluetooth and MP3 playback through USB drive as well as radio. The build quality is good but not great. At 20 watts of RMS output, this stereo is not that powerful but the sound is actually enough to fill a small room, which makes it perfect for a teenager’s room. The sound quality is okay-ish, it's not that good but it's generally better than some bluetooth speakers at maximum volume. Setup is easy and I like how compact the stereo is. The remote control does not come with a supplied AA battery, but it’s not biggie. There’s also limited option to setup the sound so there's no equalizer setting other than increasing the bass and treble. The frequency response when increasing the bass and treble is also not that good but that's no surprise from a stereo system so low in price. What makes this stereo system shines are its simplicity, compact form factor and the variety of connectivity it provides. As a CD player, it plays one CD at a time and yes we can repeat a track to our liking. I’m quite amused that it also plays MP3s from USB drive, which is a very useful feature as many people have been converting their CD collections to MP3s for personal use in the past. I used an old USB stick laying around somewhere in the house and it worked just fine. The Bluetooth connectivity while working just fine, is rather limited in terms of range. It has quite a short range but should be fine as long as the device and the stereo remain in the same room. It's worth to note that it doesn’t have an alarm clock feature. But for the price, this is a reasonably good choice for those looking for something that can play CD in a small room while also providing Bluetooth and USB connectivity. If you don't like your music that loud, this stereo should be ok for the living room.
