AWESOME FEATURES AND I LOVE THE LIGHT SHOW - AMAZING

I recently purchased this boom box. We are already having trouble getting it to play the disk. Hoping to get a full refund from Best Buy.

I bought 2 of these for an elementary school for playing musical chairs. Pros: * Looks great. * Very loud, but distorted at high volumes. * I like that you can turn off the "light show". It distracts the kids. Cons: * The tuning knob seems to be "backwards": turning counter clockwise makes the orange tuning line move right, turning clockwise makes the orange tuning line move left. * When a USB stick is inserted, the handle bumps into it (for larger USB sticks) * Selecting the USB input is not intuitive (press and hold the Play/Pause button) There is a button for "light show" but not for "USB source". * The biggest problem, which was a deal breaker and lead me to return the units, is a related to playing MP3s through the USB port: inserting a USB stick full of MP3s and pressing play works fine. However, when you hit pause and then hit play, the unit skips the first couple of seconds of the song. Similarly, if you hit pause during a song, advance to the next track to cue up the next song, and then hit play, the unit skips the first couple of seconds of the song. The net result of this problem is that the person controlling the boombox seems to be constantly making a mistake. "Play the song from the beginning!" the children shouted every time. I resorted to burning the MP3s to a CD like it was 1999 to test if this weird problem of skipping the first couple of seconds was specific to the USB input, but it is not. Playing an MP3 CD exhibited the same problem, effectively skipping the first 2 seconds of the song. My guess is this is a buffering problem or something related to the way the unit decodes MP3s. Maybe a low-cost chip. This is unacceptable. The reason for this thing to exist is to play music and it cannot do that 100% correctly.

Just right for inside or outside entertaining. It’s fun to watch the unit too. Deal of the Day was worth buying it for 1/2 price.

Party vibes. I didn’t know I needed this till it arrived.

It’s very beautiful and a real eye catcher when entertaining your guests.

Very cool and nostalgic! Gifted to husband and he thinks it's great!

Love. Love it. Brings me back to the 90s and my child hood

The radio is very nice . I would definately recommend it to my friends and family.

She can play her CD’s anytime and she loves being able to do so.

I love best bay have nice products the price is very low I am very happy

It's made of cheap plastic, but is very heavy. No radio reception. Terrible sound. I returned it.

This boom box looks okay but I guess I was expecting more. I returned it.

It's not for me, it's a Christmas gift for someone else.

It seems to be okay for a portable boom box and it can be used in emergency situations as needed.

This was bought for me as a Christmas present. Brings me back to tbe 80s! Sound is good. Love the blue lights. Can play my CDs or stream music from my phone. Have used it alot since Christmas. Recommended!
