If you’re old school and use CDs still, then this is the radio for you. You can also use your phone with Bluetooth, record your own CDs, listen to the radio, etc

Have this on my lanai. The sound is awesome! Rich sound without having to blast it out. Now I can sit listening to my tunes in sunny Florida. Would recommend these speakers highly.

Unobtrusive? Check.
Connects to just about anything? Check.
Buttons easy to read and use? Check.
Great sound? Not so much. It's a little box with a little sound (even with mega bass), but at this price point and with all the other features it's okay for an hour or two in the kitchen which is basically what I bought it for.
Personal annoyance is an eternal display of "standby" when it's supposedly powered off so I feel compelled to shut it down at the power strip.

Works good decent quality sound. My teenager listens to this. He listens to death metal crap and he hasn’t blown the speakers up yet so I would recommend.

Sound quality is only okay and it doesn't save your CD track location if you turn it off. Works for camping since it's small and lightweight. There are better machines out there for home.

Digital music, computers, and Bluetooth are fine, but we just wanted a unit to play some CD's in the master bedroom when we are reading. So we picked this Sony because it looked easy to use -- and it is.

This is a really nice Sony product. It's one of the only ones I found with the ability to stream music from a memory stick. Great sound as I expected from a Sony product. Was not able to demo it in any store so I was taking a chance but it paid off. Very happy with the purchase.

This boombox is small and cute but not very loud for the price, so returned it. I would have kept it if it were what I was expecting. However, I do recommend it to anyone that is looking for small, low volume and cute.

I needed a radio for my garage. I enjoy sports talk radio on AM stations. I also listen to my old time CD's while working in the garage. I wanted something simple to operate and with a good sound. It also was the best pricewise.

The features are off the charts of this boombox. The Sony quality shines through. Bluetooth, CD, AM/FM, awesome. It is so easy to pair my iPhone with this thing and use it as a bluetooth speaker. Digital display. Amazing!

Very nice CD player. The thing I like most is that it has a USB port and you can load your music on a USB and play from it. Another cool feature is that you can record from a CD to your USB. Nice!!!

We needed a sound source for an elderly relative living alone. This device offered radio for news, CD for music and a headphone jack to improve her ability to hear it all. Importantly, it is also easy to operate so she could manage it all herself w/o being overwhelmed by tech.

Gift to my sister for her 70th Birthday. She loves it, especially the CD player. Her new car did not come with one and she missed listening to her favorite music. She is still learning all the features of the Sony Radio/CD player but she raves about it every time we talk.

Only time will tell if this portable CD player lasts long or not. The buttons are tiny, but has enough FM presets, and plays CD's okay. I researched many CD players, and this was an overall good deal for the price. If companies made the book shelf type of CD players better, than I would've spent money on a book shelf type of player with bigger speakers instead, however, they don't.

Good sounding for the size of boombox, still enjoy listening to cd's, the radio function also has a good sound. Have purchased Sony products over the years and are always quality products.
