Limited Edition 5-Disc Micro Shelf Executive Speaker System with Bluetooth & USB for MP3 Playback & AM/FM by Sharp

What an incredibly easy set up. The sound quality is a little too much bass for me, but considering the price, it’s definitely worth it. I just returned an almost $800 5-CD player - with 5 yr warranty - to a local electronics store because it didn’t work. Someone was going to come to try to fix it, at an extra cost of course, but that didn’t quite work out. I’m happy I returned it. I absolutely love this little CD player! On a slightly different note, I have to mention the delivery man. He rang my doorbell (companies delivering for Amazon never do that in spite of a prominent sign on my door). I don’t expect delivery persons to wait for me at the door. But when I went to get the package, he was there waiting and placed the package inside the door for me. That was a first! I was so surprised that I completely forgot to ask his name or even check to see what delivery company he was from! Hopefully next time I’ll pay more attention.

Un beau et bon système de son. J'aime bien qu'il ait la possibilité d'avoir 5 cd. J'ai de la belle musique en continu. Le son est très bon.

The sharp micro stereo ships in a factory white retail box, so if this is a present or you dont want the factory box tore up during transport, then request the retail box be put inside a big brown amazon box. If you temper your expectations, then this unit sounds good at 50 watts RMS. 25 watts left + 25 watts right channel. The included FM antenna can go into the trash, because it's just a thin piece of wire that plugs into the back of the stereo. Buy the Bingfu FM dipole antenna for $8 if you want any real chance of pulling in radio stations. Note that there are 2 versions of this stereo. The all black model and the Gold Limited edition with the gold volume knob and gold trim around the woofers. The specs are the same for both units, so get the one that suits your style. Some reviews said they received the standard black model when they ordered the Gold Label model. The seller (Electronic Express) sent me the correct Gold Label model & it's new in box and not a refurb model. The instructions are written in clear English and set up was easy pie. Don't forget to press the eco button on the remote, so that the display goes complete dark when you press the red on/standby button. Otherwise, the screen will stay lit with disco screen flashing light messages that will freak you out and keep you awake at night if you like to sleep in complete darkness. Also, pressing the play mode buttton on the remote, until you see the words "random" display on screen will randomly play songs on the current disc. This unit does not randomly play songs on all 5 discs like the old school rotary disc stereos. Which is understandable, since all that movement will eventually wear out the mechanism. Work around: Just burn your favorite songs on a usb stick and insert into the stereo if you want random music playing. This is a nice retro nostalgia piece that brings back memories of playing CDs in the 80s. This unit is an upgraded 2022 model with CD, NFC, USB, and Bluetooth compared to other versions that have a cassette player. The remote has decent distance and controls the whole unit, so dont lose or break it. It's been 5 days and so far everything works great including the 5 disk CD player. The stack cd mechanism outputs more noise compared to the 5 disc rotary models, but nothing too crazy. I'll update the review if anything breaks. Click helpful if this info helped you out love 💜

I purchased this unit because the two units I bought in the past lasted over five years. I was very satisfied with the products never had to call Sharp customer support. But when this third unit arrived, I couldn't make it come on so I called customer support at Sharp the day I got it and they could not get it to start either. They told me to leave it unplugged for a half an hour. Then I called Sharp again before I plugged it in for them to guide me through the process and it seemed to work, the display screen lit up, but it did not repeat 05 discs ever. After playing five CDs, it shuts down or it repeats the same CD over and over and one day played the same song all day long. I called customer service over 10 times and I finally decided to give up and return the unit to Amazon. They were very sorry I am having trouble but my return date had just expired the day before. Sharp offered to fix the unit if I mail it to them, they fix it and mail it back to me. That was not an option I could accept because I paid for a functioning unit. It has a one-year warranty, but they told me that only covers repairs not replacement. After long arduous, complicated phone calls and emails for two months. I'm still stuck with this unit that doesn't work and Amazon says it's against their policy even though it was a 1 day of laps in their return unit offer. The unit also offers radio but that never worked either. The older units had tape players, and the tape playing feature on my old ones still works that display comes on, the remote works on the old ones but not on this new one. Very disappointed with the Amazon and Sharp customer support. all they can say is I'm sorry for you. Would not recommend this unit to anyone. And I'm also learning you can't trust you're not getting a refurbished lemon instead of a new product.

So far this has been a great music/CD/stereo/playing system/center (I don't even know what these are called anymore). Just needed something for my home gym, because my boombox/portable/CD/playing (not sure what these are called either) finally quit on me after only 30 years or so. I've kept the boombox (see photo bottom shelf) as the cassette player still works (and I've got around 4 cassettes that have not yet tangled up the tape). If you don't know what a cassette tape is, you probably won't be buying a 5 disc CD player anyway (google it and look up VHS tapes and floppy discs while you are at it). Anyway, getting back on track (no pun intended), on the Sharp XL-BH250 all of the 5 disc readers work. The sound quality is really good for a mini system like this. I wanted the speakers on the wall, so installed them using a pair of VideoSecu Side Clamping Bookshelf Speaker Mounting Brackets. The wire from the speakers is 22 AWG (gauge) and only around 4 ft long. So I got some 22 AWG wire and crimped it onto the existing wire. The sound quality is still good, although I think I pushed the limit of how long you can use such a thin wire. If you add more than around 10 ft of wire, the sound will probably go dodgy. Now I can play all my favorite CDs while trying to stay fit. The system also works with a cable from your smartphone as well (AUX input, or something like it). I didn't set up the bluetooth (because I couldn't be bothered). My only complaint is the remote. They should have taken some of the lesser used buttons off and made the volume and CD selector buttons bigger. Then when I'm on the treadmill, trying to change discs mid run, I'll be less likely to stumble and face plant. Won't do that again.
