Review: What I Needed - wired aux and No (!) bluetooth - I got this because I needed something with a wired aux input and no bluetooth. I have a small AM FM radio with no speaker that gets horrible to no reception on any speaker that has bluetooth and a wired aux, maybe the bluetooth interferes with radio reception. I never got on the earbuds bus and sometimes use headphones, which for AM reception seems to be the best choice. And I don't like to use anything that involves extended bluetooth transmission. Out of the box it seemed like it had to “wake up” for all the transistor or technology connections to connect because it didn't seem like it worked very well at all. But it could have been because the aux and the CD mode are on the same setting, and because there is a round cardboard in the CD player, it turned on as if there were a CD in;it took a few minutes to figure that out because I could hear some clicking sound and other sound, the CD drive belt or motor, and I opened the lid and found the cardboard, which I removed. Works fine for what I wanted it for, never tried the CD or the cassette and I‘m not sure about the actual radio reception on it but other people say they‘re all good. When a radio doesn't have an antenna the cord is the antenna, not much different than the aux - in line acts as the antenna on headphones for radio reception (I've found for some radio stations, mostly AM, a longer cord, using headphones and my tiny radio with no speaker gets clear reception on stations with a weaker signal or sometimes gets interference from other signals, which sometimes takes moving the cord around a little but it's no different from adjusting an antenna). The radio I use is digital (not data) reception and isn't analog, but it just doesn't have a speaker, it was made that way, It's not that the speaker stopped working or something. I've had it for about five years and have another radio with an aux - in and a light that also has a 3.5 mm jack and speaker that it works fine in but wanted something so I wouldn't have to keep moving those around. And I totally wasted money on two speakers, and they weren't a pair, that had bluetooth and aux - in but gave awful radio reception. They work fine with music apps on a smartphone and the wired aux, which is why I think bluetooth must interefere with radio signals. I guess this review is for the probably small number of bluetooth resisters and light data users (I would say light kilobyte users but a lot of people are heavy data users and recognize gigabytes with little or no reference point for kilobyte). But we late adapters to tech are analog at heart, and probably always will be. To be fair,in the case of the two Bluetooth and wired aux speakers that Do Not work with the radio, which was the only reason I bought them, the second one after the first one was an absolute failure; one defaults to bluetooth and switches to aux only after the aux jack is plugged in, the other always has bluetooth on and it can't be turned off because it can daisy chain with other like speakers of the same brand; that one was the biggest mistake because it's always pumping out the bluetooth signal, and I just don't like the idea of using bluetooth except very minimally; "bluetooth frequency pollution" is the way I think of it, except we're surrounded by wifi frequency or waves and and "certified safe" levels of radiation or waves or rays from smartphones (including what might come from the battery, I think); so that a dose of bluetooth I doubt actually matters very much. But it doesn't mean I want to use it if I don't have to, and,as far as I know, from experience,it interferes with radio signals . If it didn't the radio I have would have worked on the first speaker (with aux and bluetooth) that I bought, and it has always worked fine on the light and the other radio that both have 3.5 mm aux - in ability and no bluetooth.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: whats the power usage for it. Can it be used in india**
A: no.. 120 volt only or batteries..any way its a piece of junk.. dont buy it

**Q: Do earphone's work on this model**
A: The first one I ordered was deffective, and the second one, which Amazon did the warrenty on, was also deffective (which they would not warrenty.  I did not have a chance to find out if it worked.  I did not even look for a outlet for a head phone.

Craig tried to warrenty the unit with one that did not have a cassette player.  The DVD did work on the other brand they sent me as a warranty to the deffective.

**Q: how do i get a cd to start to play?**
A: There is a play button located on the front panel of the player. If you follow your instructions that came with the player, it should play. If the CD is a burned copy and not an original copy, it probably won’t play. I didn’t keep the player, because the radio stations didn’t display. I hope this was helpful.

**Q: Is this product manufactured in the USA?**
A: It's made in China.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great boombox
*by V***R on December 7, 2025*

I received my Boombox yesterday and just got it set up it plays good he has good sound.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent size and price
*by T***A on May 15, 2024*

My daughter loves this, we got it for her to play cassettes. The only problem is that recently we got the TS CD's, but the cd player doesn't work. It shows it's on, but won't do anything. Disappointed that it can't be returned/exchanged because of the 30-day policy, but will keep it just for the cassettes. Also, it is very lightweight, which makes it seem cheaply made. Speakers seem adequate enough for it's intended use
