In some ways this is a neat little radio. It's surprisingly small and very cute. In fact, when it arrived at work that was pretty much everyone's reaction to it. I was very pleased with its small, desk-friendly footprint and looks.

In spite of this I am already returning the radio. I wasn't expecting great sound from a small [money]radio, but this was much worse than I though it would be. Even with the bass boost engaged there is no bass to speak of. Music played through it sounds unnatural. I put in a favorite R&B album and couldn't even make out a bass line on any of the songs. The drums sounded weak and tappy, too.

I don't usually return things I buy unless they are way below expectation, but this device warrants it. I would only recommend buying this for spoken word applications, for kids (who don't care), or for situations where small size is a much higher priority than sound quality.

The cd player just stopped working after six months. Argggh!

There was no headphone jack.

Who cares if it has a Headphone Jack, buy a Portable CD Player, or a Portable Radio, they are much smaller, and use less batteries. If you are going to plug a Headphone into it why get something this big and with speakers, buy something smaller and more compact. Duuuhhhhh! (Was that my outside voice?)
