Jensen CD-555 White/Silver CD Bluetooth Boombox Portable Bluetooth Music System with CD Player +CD-R/RW & FM Radio with Aux-in & Headphone Jack Line-in (CD555)

My toddler loves playing music in her room. We gave her an old (but really expensive) CD player/radio that we weren't using anymore and when that finally died, we wanted something fairly inexpensive that could stand up to a toddler's rough hands. I had hoped to pay about $20 but couldn't find anything with good reviews that fit the price tag. I even tried a wall mounted unit that was more than this because I liked that it could go on her wall, but it was designed to leave a blue light on all the time. What?! Why?! So, I found this and gave it a go--it's completely perfect and I love that the size fits her shelf better than any of the others would have. It seems durable, it's easy to use and pretty intuitive for a toddler. The sound is fine and the controls are nice because they are very responsive--we can listen at a pretty low volume without it being an "all too loud" or "all too quiet" adjustment. I think the price is a little high for what it is, but that said I couldn't really find anything for less so I suppose it's in line with current pricing. I'm guessing people just aren't using CD players much anymore with phones and tvs that have music channels, so the companies that make these have to raise the prices just to make anything off of them. It's the only explanation I can come up with for why this simple technology that's more than 20 years old isn't super inexpensive. But, that's neither here or nor there. The product is good, it works well and time will tell if it's as durable as I hope.

Have no complaints with sound quality for the CD player. We tried Bluetooth and that was fine too but its not used much. It will sound fuzzy if you blast it up to 11 but regular listening is fine, sounds good. It was for my toddlers toy shelf so she has access to her music. Its compact and easy for her to use. Its lightweight so I had to wedge a book behind it to stop it moving backwards when she pressed the buttons.**update**Bought in January......CD player stopped working by September. Radio and Bluetooth still work though. My toddler used it everyday for her cd's and was quite rough with it..... would also use it as a plate! Decided to buy the same one again, to be used with more care than the last one.

I ordered this radio because we needed a small radio/cd player for a corner of our bathroom counter. This was the right size. I probably should have given it only 3 stars, but there are so few little units like this out there, and we've seen so much worse than this one. The deal here is, we have over 700 cd's that we no longer use in general, and we can at least play them in the bathroom, one at a time. . .the sound with the cd's is acceptable. The radio. . .not so much. . .I like a little news in the morning, and I get it but poorly--I have to actually hold the end of the antenna wire in my hand to get rid of the static. BUT this DOES basically work and it fits our purpose. The fourth star is, well, for relief that we can stop looking for one of these. . .at least for now.

I bought this for my 90 year old mother and she loved it. Easy to use and we'll made. Very good price.Siund quality is very good. Volume was easy to control.

2nd time ordering this item I use when going for a ride in my neighborhood in the afternoon on my golf cart. I decorate for all holidays. During the Christmas holidays I play Christmas carols and pass candy out in the neighborhood. The sound is great had my first one for over four years it still works but due to age want a back up.

I bought this two years ago specifically for the CD player. I chose this one because of the more modern looking, smaller cube design. As of today, the CD player no longer works. The CD player function does not even turn on. The radio, Bluetooth, and auxiliary settings still work; but I do not use those. So this is now rendered useless. Funny thing is, I really rarely used this CD player. In the last two years, I probably only used it maybe 25-30 times? It sits safely on a shelf in my bedroom and has never been bumped or dropped or damaged in any way. So: that is a pathetic shelf life! My daughter’s Sponge Bob Square Pants CD player from 15 years ago is still going strong. The sound quality was very hissy and raspy as well, even with the bass boost. Wasn’t this brand a BIG DEAL back in the day of stereos and boom boxes? Shame!

I was in search of a compact portable device that gave me the option to plug it into a wall outlet. After several days of looking and reading reviews on portable CD players, I came across this player. I am using it in my retail store and have a set of speakers with a sub-woofer plugged into the headphone jack. I wanted something small due to the limited space for such a device. The sound quality is excellent and the added blue tooth connection allows me to stream from my phone. I have had no use for the FM radio; which is integrated in the player but nice to have the option. Overall, I am very happy with the Jensen player as it has all the aspects I was looking for in a portable CD player.

Disappointed that the cd player function only worked about a year and then stopped functioning. Only radio works now. Really liked this little cd player....when it worked.
