Review on πŸ“» Jensen CD-555 White/Silver CD Bluetooth Boombox: Portable Music System with FM Radio, Aux-in, and Headphone Jack by Josue Porter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Died in about 6 months - out of warranty

It's not easy to find a cheap and basic CD player with built in speakers to find, but it looked promising. We bought it as a Christmas present and the extra features and compact design are amazing. Unfortunately, with careful daily use of the CD player, it died out completely a few months after the 90-day warranty expired. Also, it doesn't have a CD shuffle mode. Within the framework of the guarantee PDF, we only have the option of contacting Spectra and sending the device - prepaid - for repair at our expense. For a $40 CD player that died so young, we decided not to even try. Instead, we take an old boombox CD player from a family member's garage, dust it up and use it - it looks like it could last for decades, not months. CD and show how many tracks, but you could not do anything; Turning it on and off until it worked seemed like a temporary fix. He then died completely a month later with the same symptoms. After that, the rest of the features stopped working - no radio, no bluetooth, no aux input. Now we are left without a CD player and a junkyard that lasted less than a year. Maybe it was a lemon, maybe not. I hope other buyers have a better experience.

Pros
  • Top loading CD player CD-R/RW compatible, A2DP support, AVRCP
Cons
