Lasts no more than 5 months

This was bought for a blind person to use for his audio books. Bought in mid-October and no longer works. There are no return options. I would NOT recommend this if you intend to use anything over five months.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Quality

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The Sony CD player only lasted a few months.

Cassette/CD player 1 year warranty. After 7 months the CD player stopped playing ANY of my CDs. I am now contacting Revain to see if they honor the warranty. Update: Revain has a 30-day return policy on this product, but Sony will replace the player at its own expense.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Quick guide

Sony and Revain:( so sad

I initially liked this compact boombox. It was a gift from my husband so I could listen to music for my grandchildren. I used it maybe twice a month. After 8 a few months ago the cd player stopped working maybe my expectations are too high but i think the product should work more than 16 times tried to return the product and was told i need the original packaging to send it back im not the one doing it lasts empty boxes for almost a year so I'm stuck with a $60 junk.Very disappointed in Revain.

Pros
  • happy
Cons
  • can't remember

We are very glad we bought the 3 year protection plan but it was .

Played/worked very well for 2 months then broke down. We are very glad we bought the 3 year protection plan but it wasn't easy. With plan it took me 15 minutes then they told me sony was still under warranty then it took me 15 minutes on the phone then I would have to get a shipping label they would ship within 3 days then I had to ship boombox return. A somewhat dire situation for a $59 item. You know, the disposable era; That's why we bought the protection plan. There is no happy excitement…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Expensive

Very disappointed product! I returned it.

I returned it because it did NOT play MP3 or CDR/RW as advertised. The manual says that some discs may not play if not formatted properly, but NONE of ours will play, not even professional/commercially made ones. He even insisted that when regular CDs were inserted, there was no disc inside. It also has a "cheaper" sound compared to the Magnavox radio we replaced. Five stars for the return process and prompt refund. But the actual product seemed very junky! I'm surprised by all the great…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Good but not great

Don't let the skeptics fool you!

Just received my Sony Boombox. Yes, it's not enough. Much less than I expected. I thought the sound was terrible. My big RCA stereo CD player broke and I have a billion CDs that I love listening to, especially with headphones on. This little box is easy to use once you follow the instructions. The bass boost works. Does it look like a $5,000 system? no But it's about as good as it gets for $100. The headphone jack is convenient to use. It is so light that you can take it with you and carry it…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • A few little things

The old one has a very pleasant sound and is very durable

It has such a weak sound. I can not believe that. I spent €50 on it and expected a lot more. We bought a Sony Boombox 13 years ago and the difference is amazing. The old one has a very pleasant sound and is very durable. It's heavy and has survived several moves and four children. As a result, it has a few dents, but is still stable. But this new one is so small and light that I think it might break if I breathe on it. I bought it to replace our old one as the old one seemed to be broken. Turns

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

Compared to previous model Sony CFDS05

for her son. While I had it, I tested it and compared it to the previous model. I've attached a picture of both models together and the first thing you might notice is that the new model is smaller. In between, for comparison, is a 14.1-inch Dell E6410 laptop. I usually use it as a sound source and it sits comfortably on top of the older model. The newer model has significantly smaller dimensions and you can't put a laptop on it because the radio buttons protrude upwards from the surface and…

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Without automatic drives
