Review on 📻 NAXA Electronics NPB-268 Portable CD/Cassette Boombox: Silver/Black Best Buy by Darin Marshall

Let me first say that I bought a Sony for $80. The AM/FM antenna in my house was having trouble receiving FM stations and would not pick up AM stations. NAXA easily received both AM/FM stations without an antenna. What struck me about both the Sony and the Naxa, having owned either type of device in the past, is the reduction in size since the Naxa is so small. The sound quality of the Sony and Naxa is good, the volume of the Sony is significantly higher than that of the Naxa in all areas: CD, cassette deck, radio. I had a hard time seeing the power light on the Naxa in daylight. Easy to handle, You need to read the manual and after a while remember the functions of the buttons. Naxa had a lot more presets than Sony, with the ability to undo a preset and start over, which I found difficult with Sony. CD playback, both Sony and Naxa have skipping issues when the unit is bumped (my original boombox had technology to prevent this), why neither of these units have this I have no idea. Naxa's design is very nice, but if you drop this device, I'm afraid there will undoubtedly be many broken parts, and that goes for both radios. There are no metal parts, even the speaker grilles are made of plastic. For the price, it's great value. If you plan to give this to a child, I recommend the Apple iPod, it's more durable.
