Not even worth the low price
(2 out of 5) by Angelica Schmalz on Mar 23, 2007 (Minneapolis, MN)The sound quality is complete crap. There is absolutely NO bass and when you try to turn up the volume the speakers crackle and cut out. I was excited about this radio because it is mp3 ready and came with the jack to connect my mp3 player. When I connected my mp3 player I was shocked to discover that the sound quality could get even worse than it already was. I actually like the design and I guess since I will be using it in my office at low volume it will serve its purpose, but I still wish I wouldnt have wasted what little money this costs.

not that good
(2 out of 5) by J. James on Oct 26, 2006 (St. Lucia, West Indies)I see amazon has since changed the display picture, when i ordered it they had something completly different, cause if i knew it looked like this I would have never bought it. Anyway, the sound quality is bad, it's sounds like an old transistor radio especially when the sound is turned up. I can never get any radio reception on it so I guess it's not good in that regard either. I had to end up giving this to my 3 yr old son to play his cd's and buy a better one, i cause for that price i should not have expected much.

ok for a cheap cd player
(3 out of 5) by Elizabeth's Mommy on Apr 1, 2007I bought this cd player to play a white niose cd for my baby. It works just fine for that. However, when playing a music cd the soung quality is not great. But it's about what I expected for the price.

AVOID THIS - Cheap, tinny sound and lasted barely a year
(1 out of 5) by C. Gilbert on Dec 2, 2008 (Kalamazoo, MI United States)I bought this because it would fit on the shelf space available in my house and it would take input from an MP3 player.
I discovered that
a) the sound quality is poor, even compared to other "cheap" players. I usually can't tell any difference between good and bad players, but even I could hear how tinny the music sounded.
b) any sort of vibration will make the player skip or throw up an error and stop working -- like even heavy walking in the next room sometimes.
c) it lasted just over a year and then it stopped playing CDs (which was what I primarily used it for). My old "cheap" player lasted 8 years before dying, so this was pretty pathetic in comparison.
So unless you only need this for the short term and don't care about sound... AVOID IT. There are much better players out there for the same price.

Horrible sound
(2 out of 5) by amanda o'carolan on May 29, 2009I thought at least the cd sound would be balanced. Nope. Very high on treble, and the remote that comes with it, does not adjust volume...just backwards and forwards for song selection. Looks nice...sounds yucky,
