Philips Portable CD Player Boombox, Stereo Dynamic Bass Boost Speakers, Lightweight FM Radio CD Player with LCD Display, USB Playback, Aux Line-in, Boombox Portable for Home AZ318B/37

I read so many reviews and browsed multiple big brand name websites for a portable CD/FM Radio player. Prices ranged from cheap to overly expensive. The common thread of complaints with the majority, centered on mediocre sound quality and skipping with the CD function. It was frustrating to see these two concerns in some of the pricey popular brand names. Another sticking point was size or features for aesthetics that did nothing to enhance the actual operation of the player. As luck would have it, I found this nifty Philips model. It is lightweight even with batteries. You can play CDs or the FM radio with plenty of volume. The bass boost button adds a rich dimension, too. This thing fits neatly on an area the size of a salad plate! The price made sense when I read the website details. It was not cheap nor too expensive considering. I am glad I ordered this Philips brand and enjoy toting it anywhere. The electric cord is generous in length. The 6 C batteries are an I mprovement over 6 to 8 D size too many players required. My order arrived early and was packed in the manufacture box nestled inside an additional Amazon box. Interestingly, I was the first to purchase this model. It had just landed on the Amazon website as a new offering! There were no reviews as yet. I wanted to use it awhile before offering my opinion. Taking a chance is now reason for the happy dance.

It was o.k. It did not have a loud enough volume, for me. But I could not find a sony, so I had to get something else. I would recommend it for anyone who did not need a louder sound.

I bought this item for my nephew who loves music. He’s been playing music on the CD player for eight hours today. Great sound and easy to operate and set the radio stations. Excellent quality.

Has nice sound and it’s very compact

Not sure what I expected for $79, but this item will be returned. Shallow sound, on radio and CD player, inconvenient visuals and buttons, no remote included. Guess you get what you pay for.

PROS: Excellent sound, great value for a small boombox. Base-boost feature works well. CONS: Terrible functionality -- the worst I've ever encountered. LED screen is dark and impossible to read unless you're at eye level with the screen. Buttons are tiny and it's really hard to select the feature you want. But the sound is in fact superior to the pricier boombox that Sony has phased out. If the functionality had been designed as well as the sound quality, this would be a 5-star review.

This little piece of audio equipment is excellent

It does not play as loud as I had hoped and there are no separate bass and treble, only a bass boost button that really adds very little separation. I expected a little more. Would be good for a small child

El producto llegó en muy buen estado y ya se encuentra agotado en la mayoría del país. Así que si quiere algo bueno y duradero, cómprelo en Amazon.

Der Artikel kam mit einem Amerikanischen 220V Stecker. Leider ist der Artikel auch defekt.

If you play CDs every day it's not very good I've only had it les then two months l don't think it's going to last very much longer

Ok, correspondeu ao esperado

Good design, but disappointing sound. Pricey for what it delivers.
