Sharp QT-CD290(BL) Portable CD MP3 Cassette Boombox with AM/FM Stereo and Aux Input, Blue

This is a great little portable stereo unit. Plays all mediums great but I found that CD's sound the best. Enough sound to make you happy unless you what to crank it up. There are bigger and more powerful boom boxes out there to crank up, but they run about $150. So, if you are looking for easy sound in outdoor settings you can't do better at the price. What really stood out about this Sharp unit is how cool looking it is. I got the red version, and it just shines like it was a new paint job on a car. The LED readout is a real plus. Attractive and well built, I recommend it highly.

11/15/24-Right now I am a bit anxious. Myf reind brought this item from a different retail. Same item but Amazon's price was 5.00 less and since I use them so often Ithought I would order a couple for Xmas gifts. ta coule days went by and I tried to check on the ordered via bot/automation. Strange, the picture of the items usually come up as pictured in your order but only one show when if checked. the other swas something else musical stereo system. Luckily though wheni got my order the net day 11/15/24 both my red SharpQT cd/cassette and the black one arrived. The sound is much greater than expected! the only issue is the writing on the vunction buttons very tiny. Other than I ended up keeping the red one and listened to CSDs I hadn't heard in years becaue my old set "died" . Its a nice piece to have say in your kitchen when just want to hear the news(radio) or some jazz. For the very reasnable price it's a great item!!!

This small stereo works and sounds great! All the functions work well, I've tried the cassette player and the CD player and the radio and I couldn't believe how well it works! The radio comes in great and no static. I'd recommend this sterio to anyone that's looking for one. I'm very pleased with my purchase!

Performs well, but when playing CDs the audio drops out for a split second between tracks, so that if numerous tracks make up one song, you’ll hear the track breaks as dropouts. Otherwise, pretty good.

The radio is not a top end quality but for the price it is above expected. The handle is flimsy in my opinion but if treated with care, I do not think it will break. I played it at full volume and it sounds good. Do not expect Super Bass sound but it is good. It is doing exactly as expected.

Sharp made a poor design choice regarding the power switch, which not only controls on/off but changing functions as well: FM radio, AM radio, CD, tape, etc. Once the unit is turned on, pushing the power switch changes the function. To turn off the radio, for example, it's necessary to push and hold the power button. If I'm not careful to hold the switch down long enough, it just changes to another function, so I have to push it several times to go through each of the functions until it's back to FM radio, then push and hold the switch a bit longer. It would have made more sense to have separate switches for power and function selection. Apart from that, the sound and radio reception are both good.

This product was purchased for outdoor use (Compact and the perfect size for our needs). What was most surprising was the consistent crisp and clear sound!

excellent radio sound
