Boombox not a portable Radio or CD Player.

(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jun 21, 2003
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?)

Cute little box, poor sound.

(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Apr 9, 2003
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.

Solid and simple

(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Feb 17, 2003
This isn't the loudest or best-sounding CD player in the world, and true, it doesn't have a headphone jack, but it *is* indestructible. My daughter has dropped it off her top bunk straight onto the hardwood floor below--twice--and it still works. It is an exceptionally well-made CD player--clear, simple controls, a bright LED display, minimal moving parts, good solid construction. I think omitting the tape deck was a very smart price trade-off.

If you prefer simplicity over features, don't need hi-fi sound, and don't anticipate needing a headphone jack, this is the perfect CD player, especially for a child.

nice for it's purposes

(5 out of 5) by Mr_Joe on Jan 25, 2003 (Brooklyn, New York USA)
This little gem does not have a headphone jack and obviously, it does not have a cassette player, but it does have great sound for such a small device. It is so compact, for storage it fits neatly almost anywhere. Since I use it in a skilled nursing facility where I have to carry it around much of the day it's really great. When I first opened the box and saw it was so small, I was afraid it would not give good volume but the volume is adequate, and the CD player is very good. So while it may not have a headphone jack, for it's size and price this is really a nice box.
