(4 out of 5)CD/Cassette/AM-FM System A Sharp, Budget-Priced Combo
This portable CD system, featuring cassette player/recorder and AM/FM radio, is a budget-minded first player for a child, or supplemental for beach, pool, or spare room. It plugs in (detachable cord included) or takes six "D" batteries.
You receive full, round sound from either recorded format. A Steely Dan CD and Gregorian chants cassette (my musical taste, what can I say?) caught most subtleties. A brief listen to an AM music station sounded deeper and richer than in the car. You miss normally standard features such as adjustable speaker balance and bass/treble control. The analogue radio dial helps for better tuning, although the short airial hinders far away signals. The advertised "Big Sound" tends more bass heavy than I prefer, but that probably won't matter to rap and hip-hop fans prefering those styles phat-bottom anyway. (You can record from CD or radio to cassette, although it's hard imaging anyone but pre-teens doing so in these Napster days).
Overall, the QT-CD210 is a solid, unspectacular purchase for passive listeners. If you need little control over sound but to pop it on or in while working or playing, this set provides reliable, affordable entertainment.

This is a pretty okay product for the price. I would surely recommend this one, if your budget is strictly around $60. It has decent sound effects. It looks pretty too. It is sad they do not have a picture here.
(5 out of 5)A great buy
Nice and compact. Not heavy. Descent sound and simple buttons. Overall a really good buy.
