However, some users point out the lack of a backlit display and the relatively short battery life. A remote control is also a feature some customers wish the product included.

Not a very good product for the price. The Sony brand used to be a guarantee of high quality. Unfortunately the sound was tinny and there was only a button for a bass boost and even that didn’t do much.

Wanted an am/fm cd player combo that could be used for listening to baseball, football and basketball games. All are on am and this unit was absolutely pathetic in that regard. If I had an am station next to my house, reception probably would still be unacceptable.

Weak Speakers. Better to buy a portable speaker and use bluetooth thru smart phone.

Why would Sony be so cheap as to not have a lit LED screen to read your CD content...
Need a flashlight to function in a low light situation...and for $100.00 plus tax...dissappointed

Very tacky substitute for my old Sony CD player. They had nothing else but this Boombox w/ built in speakers. Can only play one CD at a time. Will be returning it.

For the price paid, I expected a better sound. I didn't think it would be the best sound ever, but it didn't sound any better than boxed half the price.

Overall the Sony boom box had a poor sound. Seems like Sony products are not as good as they were 10-15 years ago. I have an older Sony boom box that has a much better sound.

This was a gift for my mother and it barely worked for a month. The player started to skip. It was a huge disappointment and thankfully, we were still within their return policy or we would would have been stuck with this piece of junk.

At first I was ok with this though it had features I did not need like blue-tooth capabilities. The trouble was that after about 18 days the cd player stopped working. Too late to return, I took the hit. I guess you get what you pay for.

Volume is just way too low at the highest setting. This is definitely not a boom box, just a portable radio that is good for a small room, not much else. Don't bring to a picnic or any kind of outing or event. Too low of a volume!

Our small church needed a user friendly bluetooth system that could connect to our PA system and play accompaniment music via multiple means. The sound quality is good and so far the connections have worked well. One negative is the options for choosing bluetooth devices. Random individual's devices appear on the display. I am not sure if random music would play if someone chose to do so.

CD player doesn’t work. Only three station presets available. Tuning is not good. Lots if static. I only kept it because I have a back injury. Looking for another but it seems like finding a quality radio and CD player is going to be hard. Very disappointing.
