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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm surprised how much I like this little player.

Originally I just wanted the cheapest and smallest available for my daughter to play her piano lesson CDs hoping to maybe $20-25 to spend But those in this price range were either personal players (requiring headphones) or ugly ones with bad reviews. Then I stumbled across this one - very compact (roughly 5.5 x 5.5 x 7 inches) and Bluetooth enabled, which made me wonder how nice this feature could be. It plays CDs perfectly and I haven't had any problems. connect to my iphone via bluetooth We have also used it to play books out loud from CD We don't use it for radio but I can imagine it leaves a lot to be desired with its imprecise analogue rotary control. I also wish there was a place to tuck the antenna cable (which we don't need) so it doesn't stick out so ridiculously at the back (see photo), otherwise I'd definitely recommend it for those who want it easy, mostly good - designed, ultra-compact small CD player with Bluetooth.

Pros
  • FM Stereo FM Receiver with Bass Boost headphone jack
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
