Portable CD Player Bluetooth Boombox with AM/FM Radio, USB, AUX-in, Headphone Jack, CD-R/RW & MP3-CD Compatible, Stereo Sound with Bass Boost, AC/Battery Operated – Black

Considering the price of the product, the sound quality is reasonable there is a base boost, but I’ve heard deeper base from smaller systems but it’s really not a bad sounding system. Nice and portable lightweight a little heavier when you put 6C batteries in it but still doable in my personal opinion, the Bluetooth was a little muffled but very satisfied considering the price I would recommend this unit. Siri play back is crisp and clear radio is pretty good although I really don’t listen to the radio. I live in the urban area so I had no problem picking up radio stations.

I have bought, sampled and returned a lot of portable boomboxes over the last few months for various issues regarding sound quality, workmanship and ease of use. I believe that this current purchase has hit the sweet spot and will fill the bill. I ordered this Nextron boombox late Friday night and it was on doorstep at 4:30 A.M. Thank you Amazon for the fastest delivery ever for am order I placed - way to go! Before I critique each function of this unit, some general observations. The sound quality and volume are surprisingly good for such a small unit. The speakers really do deliver and the bass boost does add a definite extra punch to the sound no matter what function you choose and give more depth and richness to the sound as well. The controls are easy to use and easily accessible, a good thing since this product does not come with a remote. This boombox comes with a telescopic antenna - more on that shortly. The unit is lightweight without batteries but not featherweight - in other words it is sturdily built of hard plastic so I expect it to last on that basis alone. There are two color choices - black or white. I chose the black. Don't generally like white for a music system. Now for the individual functions - I have not yet used the USB so I cannot comment on that. 1) Radio. You have both AM and FM. Please use the antenna as the reception in general is good but not flawless. This of course will partly depend on where you live - however in the NYC area where I live the FM reception depends on how I place the unit and where. If in the right spot it is perfect. Otherwise there will be static. The AM reception is not impressive at all but this is less of a bother for me as I only listen to one AM station for traffic and weather. So FM over AM. The AM/FM selector is a switch on the right side, the radio selector proper is on the left side and the station knob is on the top right of the unit. Operating the radio is easier than it sounds. 2) CD player. This unit comes with a top loading CD player. To activate this function move the switch on the left of the unit to CD. The LCD screen will flash NO. When this happens gently open the the CD door by pushing the door down on the lower right corner and put the CD in. Be careful with the CD door as the door opens only a short way up not giving much space for the CD to go in. One should get used to this though. Also make sure the door shuts completely as it tends to stay open with too little pressure - just be gentle. I must mention that while the CDs I have used generally play with no issues there is a skipping problem when two or more tracks are too close together. The very end of the first track is clipped off and the next track begins. I have had this issue on all the players I have tried so I will just live with this - I also wish to mention that my CD's are clean and scratch free. This will bother some more than others depending on whether CDs are still a part of your life. One unusual feature with the CD player is that the track number and track timing alternate every few seconds on the screen rather than showing both together at the same time. Have never seen this before but there is a first for everything I suppose including this. Bluetoooth - no complaints here. Synched to my phone effortlessly and the sound is great One puzzling aspect of this unit is that the LCD screen is not backlit so it is very hard to read it in dim light. Why this has been overlooked is a mystery - considering the price point of this system having a backlight should have been a no-brainer. I also agree with a reviewer regarding the green sticker on the CD door. Aesthetically odd but I will not remove it for obvious reasons. There is a manual included so just read through it before use and you should be fine. So I recommend this Nextron boombox as a reliable purchase. It is not perfect but the best I have personally come across. Sound is fine with the above reservations re the radio. The volume is sufficiently loud for an average residence. If you want blow the roof off though get a system costing several times more. The Nextron does what it is supposed to do and does it quite well.

Good price, works great, very compact CD+Am&FM radio! Picks up stations well, very good sound on CD. Only poor design is main on/off/CD button is tiny tiny slider on left side as you face it. Hard to find, hard to operate, & just damn frustratingly inconvenient. I had to paste a big white tag on side to remind for my wife & I grumble myself every time I use it. So otherwise 100% great, but the on/off side slider switch is just dumb damn design.

Love it! Sound was great! Perfect for my mom to operate! Doesn’t sound muffled either! Great Great buy!! Size is Perfect not too big or small, but small enough.

Was looking for replacement for my hubby's garage. Works well and picks up stations easily in a city environment. Great sound for a portable player.

I've just been trying out my new boombox. Played a CD and was surprised at the sound coming from these small speakers. Good sound without Bass Boost. Even better sound with Bass Boost! Then I tried with headphones on and I knew I had to relate my extreme satisfaction with this product!! I haven't tried the Bluetooth or USB functions cuz I'm old and not knowledgeable about those things. As for the radio - Houston area radio sucks really bad so I'm not even going to try. But I am extremely happy with the CD player and the sound I get through my headphones! I bought this unit used but plays like new. Just so happy with my purchase!!! Update: I thought I should let you know that when you play a CD on this unit, it creates a half-second gap between each track. When one song segues into the next, the gap is there before the next song starts. Just a heads up for those to whom it might matter. Still enjoying my new purchase!

I would recommend this item

The product arrived on time. The quality is very good - excellent reception in a low radio signal area, great sound, nice looking. All around excellent unit.

Maravilhoso

This player is perfect for what I wanted it for! It is compact, so it doesn't take up a lot of space on the kitchen counter or on the windowsill. I use mainly for playing CDs and the sound quality is good, it even has a base button for richer sound quality. I can pick up AM & FM signals and it connects to the Bluetooth speaker in the far end of the house in the living room.

A qualidade sonora certamente não é o forte deste aparelho, mesmo com o botão BASS acionado. O design também não é nenhum primor; falta identidade. Os controles são bons, ao nível do aparelho. No modo rádio, a sintonia é bem interessante mas depende do lugar da casa para sintonizar mais ou menos emissoras. O visor LCD atende o básico do básico mesmo; minúsculo e com caracteres para que tem boa visão. Produto importando, com custo bem alto para o pouco que entrega. Se pudesse testar antes de comprar, certamente não compraria. Não valeu a pena!

I’ve been trying to limit my screen time, as I’m sure many are. I got this because I wanted to listen to my old CD’s and also just listen to the news instead of seeing all the negative news on my phone. I absolutely love it! Volume is great, for CD’s and the radio. Super compact too, perfect for a little ledge in your kitchen.
