Sony Portable Bluetooth Digital Turner AM/FM CD Player Mega Bass Reflex Stereo Sound System

For such a little guy, it packs a punch. The pictures online dont do this baby beast justice, its small, and thats a good thing! If youre looking for a portable AM/FM, CD, USB stick and Bluetooth compatible "boombox", look no further. This is an all arounder, it does what you'd want a good portable radio for around $100 to do.Connected fast and easy to my iPhone, iPad and tried it out on my Mac, and even Apple TV, bluetooth connection is a breeze and works flawless. If youre listening to music on the radio, cd, YouTube or anything else on your phone or tablet, the audio carried to this radio sounds incredible, again, especially at such a small size.If youre listening to music of any kind, just hit the mega bass button on the front of the radio, if youre listening to more podcasts and talk, turn the mega bass off, its a good sounding experience all around. One thing I havent heard anyone mention about this radio that some may appreciate knowing is that on the front, in the middle, on the very bottom you'll notice a small opening across the center of the radio, from speaker to speaker, this is a small bass air port, and in some cases you can feel the air kicking out, its a sweet little unit.I just want to reiterate the size of this thing is, to me, its selling point. Use it at the dining room table, on the patio, in the yard, at the cookout, wherever, its small and lightweight and the battery time is a little better than advertised. I definitely get over 15 hours of bluetooth playback on C size energizer batteries with volume between 15-20, max volume is 30.This little guy is batting well above his weight limit, buy it if portability matters most.

I bought this for a friend. I ran it through my tests. For the money, I'm impressed. It would take a big write up to describe all the details so I'll abbreviate. Bottom line, if you want a very versatile, very portable boombox with a lot of easy to use features, BUY IT. Functions are intuitive. Bluetooth syncs effortlessly. The record from CD to USB feature is easy, although it takes about 1/2 hour to record a 1 hour music CD (not a complaint). Since CD to USB is done via MP3 conversion, a 2GB USB stick will hold about 20 one hour CDs. Each CD recording shows up as an "Album" and you can select each album file in USB mode. For the 50+ generation that still has a pile of CDs, this is a very cool feature. It read all my recordable CDs no problem. FM reception is average but decent. Portability excellent. Sound quality is adequate considering it's a very tiny unit (meaning don't expect premium stereo sound; expect good quality). Headphone sound quality with my studio headphones was excellent and that output could feed an amplifier with big speakers (std 1/8" stereo jack). There is also a 2nd 1/8" jack for input from a non-Bluetooth cell phone, etc. Regarding other reviews, yes the front panel LCD is hard to read (probably the only flaw) and no, I didn't have any problem with a loose 110VAC power cord (supplied). Overall, a great little boombox.

I use it as a bedside music maker. I fall asleep to classical or Nora Jones or equivalent, so I dont need the thunder and lightening. The low volume sound quality is superb. This wont get super loud, but good enough for me and my small Honolulu flat. One small complaint is the display lighting is dim and shuts off after only 5 seconds.Otherwise, it was easy to format my thumb drive to fat32, add albums from my PC, and play them without a hassle. CD records to the thumbdrive with just a push of a button, which is heaven-sent, but I WISH it would record from FM to thumbdrive but NO WAY JOSE. Apparently, these have been discontinued thus, my purchase was from back-stock with a jacked up price. ALSO, after in depth homework on this unit, many reviewers said the CD stops working at about one year. So I bought the 33 dollar 3 year extended warrantee. I researched the warranty company and they have a good record, so Im set for at least three years. My total price was 233.00.... If this does give out, I'll get the Sharp High Definition mini Hi-Fi with bluetooth at just 100.00, which also has a USB in.

I was looking for a CD player that also has a USB flash drive port, so I can play MP3 files that I have on my flash drives. However, I needed it to play the files in random order, so when I turn it on, it doesn't always start with the same songs every time I turn it on. My goal was to have a player that when I went to bed, all I had to do is turn it on and pretty much just press play and it play random songs.Well, after doing a lot of searching, I found this CD/USB flash drive player and I am extremely pleased with it, as it does exactly what I needed and wanted it to do! It plays the songs on the USB flash drive in random order, so all I have to do it turn it on and since I have it set to play in random order, all I have to do is press play. What makes it nicer is it also has a timer, which can be set for 15. 30. 60 or 90 minutes, so I can either let it play all night long or have it shut off automatically.The sound quality is great, but it the player doesn't go extremely loud. It is plenty loud enough for one large room, but I don't know if it would be loud enough for 3 rooms, such as a home with an open floor plan, unless placed in the middle. It works perfect for me, as I don't need it loud when I go to bed.The Player does have some other features that I will never use, so I don't know how well they work. When I went to write a review, it did ask me to rate the remote control, but it doesn't come with one, so I had to give it 1 star for that feature. Overall, I am very satisfied with the player and the only thing that I would have liked about it is if it did play a little louder, just in case I wanted to put it in our living room, I'm not sure if I could hear it that loud in our kitchen.
