Portable CD Player Boombox - Portable MP3 Player and Cassette Tape Player, Boom Box Compact Stereo Sound System with Dynamic Bass Boost, Take Your Music Outside with USB HiFi Music Player

The Philips Portable CD Player Boombox is a nice small unit capable of playing CDs, Cassette Tapes, MP3s, and it has a FM radio. The clarity is good and the speakers are reasonable for this unit. The quality of the build is good and the controls easy to use. It plays my CDs and old Cassette tapes well, so for its price I am well pleases. I would recommend this unit; I have it out in my garage/shop and it does what I want it to do without breaking the bank. made

My mother is 90 years old now, and she loves music -- and has a large CD collection from over the decades. When her last player finally wore out from heavy use, I checked Amazon for a replacement. This looked and sounded perfect; and when it arrived, it exceeded expectations. The sound quality is outstanding. It's perfect for mom's bedside table, where she plays it constantly. It's easy to use, takes up a very reasonable amount of space (the small table still has plenty of room for other items on it), and it's extremely lightweight -- and has a nice handle -- if we want to move it to another room. We have had this for two months now, and mom could not be more pleased with it!

The first one we ordered we had to return. The Cd quality was good but the tape playback was awful. Unlistenable. Radio was ok. We got a replacement. It looked better. Newer. Maybe our first one had been a return from another customer? We’ve kept the replacement, as the tape playback, although not as good as Cd is at least decent and good enough. Cd playback is very nice and radio works fine. Hard to find such multi-function players these days for a good price. This is good once you get a workable one. Amazon is great re: returns and replacements, so it wasn’t that bad to have to try two before we were satisfied.

Product died after only 6 months of occasional use. No warranty after 30 days and no return either. Even when it worked, the sound was tin-y. Should have been better for the price. Do not buy this piece of junk.

I have always liked Philip's products. This box sounds great and it is what I expected.

Look, it's not great, but it's decent for the price. The sound quality above a certain threshold is grainy and not great, but below that it's fine. I had to do the ole knock once on it to stop some rattling, but once I did that, it was perfectly fine. I have currently only tried a CD, but it functions as intended.

Great for what I need it for! Found old tapes with recordings of me and my family in the 80's. Super cool!!!

I SHOULD HAVE READ THE REVIEWS CAREFULLY. I agree that the sound on this item is very weak. This is confirmed by my grandson who said " that radio isn't very good" . I guess you get what you pay for, but here is a product that has been manufactured for decades. You would think that even a low end version would get it right. Unfortunately this item will make it to my garage sale bin soon enough. It works, nothing defective-just below average performance when it comes to sound quality.
