Title: Jury still out on this one but sounds promising
Review: 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 greatOne 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.

Title: Excellent sound, bass, and features
Review: We had ordered another cd player and had to return it due to a very tinny sound quality. This cd player is just the opposite--excellent sound (and bass with the booster), many features, very simple to operate, and a very high indication of quality. We needed a music source for our patio, and this unit is perfect. For the price, you can't go wrong--highly recommended.

Title: VERY NICE, BUT...
Review: I needed a radio/CD player for my kitchen. This boombox is a nice, compact size. The sound quality is excellent, and you have a choice to either use the scan buttons or a dial to tune the radio stations. The dial is very precise and efficient. The only issue I have is that the instructions for presetting the radio stations are confusing, and I was unable to do it. So, each time I want to change the station, I have to turn the dial instead of pressing a button. Maybe some day I'll figure it out. Other than that, I'm satisfied with this purchase.

Title: Excellent seller. Replacement process was easy.
Review: Good little boombox. Nice sound and ease of use. Sound is clear and is perfect for using on patio. Unfortunately, just short of 2 months it stopped working. The Amazon policy of 30 days return had expired. I contacted the seller to tell of the problem and ask for a replacement. They replied within hours, with an apology and assurance that replacement is on the way. Very courteous and professional seller.

Title: THIS CD BOOMBOX DESERVES A MILLION STARS!!!
Review: THIS CD BOOMBOX IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! It deserves a million stars!!! I purchased it for a radio talk show I like to listen to every day. The radios I have had in the past would not pick up the two local stations I listen to. I have actually bought 2-3 the past few years, but they absolutely just did not work. However, this Nextron picks them up PERFECTLY AND VERY CLEARLY!!! Just as clear as when in the car. This is a national talk show; however, I prefer to listen to the local stations as opposed to an app or the internet because with the local stations, the commercials are locally – not prerecorded audio that is boring and of no interest. I also purchased this Nextron so I can listen to Christmas music via CD’s almost year round (yes - it’s okay to listen to Christmas music all year long - :-). And before I even received my Nextron from Amazon, the seller Emailed me detailed information on the directions/specs. This Nextron is amazing quality. I researched many different models; however, this one had the best specs and reviews. It is also of modern design, black and just the perfect size. Does not take up a lot of space if you want to leave it out all the time, as I do. I have not used the USB plug or bluetooth, but I am sure they work just as well as the radio and CD player. This Nextron reminds me of the old Sony version from many years ago, but this one has more features. This is also extremely important -- in the event of an emergency if your power goes out and your cell phone is out of battery (we live in an area that has a lot of trees and this does happen from time to time), this Nextron will work with 6 C batteries. And, in the event your power does go out, I can highly recommend this lantern that I purchased (several) from Amazon. It is actually brighter than a regular light bulb. Takes 4 D batteries. It is big/tall. Not like the little ones about 5-6" tall. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTJ2QMO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1Cons to this Nextron – ABSOLUTELY NONE!!!!

Title: CD player works well with good sound
Review: I ordered this product so my family and I could listen to our CD collection again. My 12-year-old is happily listening to a CD right now, and the sound is full and beautiful. The volume is adequate for home use; I like that my young grandchildren will not be able to hurt their ears with accidentally excessive volume when they use the machine. If we need louder sound for any reason, we can attach our own auxiliary speakers.Some reviews mentioned a lack of longevity; I will probably update this review later to tell how the CD player is working in the future. For now, we are very happy with it. 🙂

Review: I bought this for my elderly mother so she can listen to her music and have a radio in her retirement home, she loves it, it’s compact and fits anywhere, lightweight only 2.5 lbs, the sound is good and the simplicity to operate was important for her, it also looks good!

Review: 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!

Review: Received this yesterday and can confirmed that features are as described. We bought this for my elderly mother so she can listen to her favorite CDs and the one radio channel. We needed something small and very easy to handle, and that does the trick perfectly. Couldn't get any easier than that to operate.The sound is okay but a bit tinny for my liking, even with the base booster activated. To redress as she is hard of hearing, we have plugged in a small computer speaker system complete with a subwoofer through the headphone jack. That works perfectly and proved to be very useful. Radio reception was good and easy to pair on Bluetooth with my phone for streaming music. USB function not applicable for us.Quality is okay for the price as it will be stationary, kept plugged in and not a unit that will be carried around. Does the trick but the intended purpose. We'll see for durability on the long run.
