Ematic Bluetooth CD Boombox, Pink, EBB9224

I have owned various boomboxes over the years, and at first couldn't believe that an entire CD boombox was inside the small package which had arrived on my front porch, as the boombox was so much smaller than any previous boombox I have owned -- about an inch or two wider than the diameter of a CD disc by itself. Part of this space savings is due to its omission of a cassette player (does anyone still have cassettes in useable condition any more?). However, this Ematic CD Boombox does include both the usual CD player and AM/FM radio, and can operate off either batteries or an electrical outlet (AC power cord included). It does also include the usual extendable fold-down antenna, to improve radio reception. My daughter and I played one of her music CDs and tuned in a local radio station without any problems. What distinguishes this Ematic boombox over others I have owned (besides its small size) are some additional features. It has a plug-in for external headphones (which my previous boomboxes may have had, but I never used). It also has a plug-in for an AUX cord, which allows mobile phones and other devices with sound output (such as MP3 players and tablets) to use the boombox as an external speaker. In the case of mobile phones, connection via AUX cord also apparently allows one to convert one's phone into a "speakerphone." Although I didn't have time to have my daughter make a test call to my phone while one of our phones was connected to the Ematic boombox, I was able to use the boombox as an external speaker for a music streaming service on my phone, and was able to ask 2 different digital assistants (one of which was "Hey, Google") for the current local weather, with the digital assistant responding via the Ematic boombox's speakers. (The Ematic boombox is also supposed to have Bluetooth audio connectivity; however, I was unable to test that feature, as I know very little about using Bluetooth.) The red color of the exterior trim of the Ematic CD boombox is quite eye-catching, and matches the red microwave I will be placing it on top of (replacing an old boombox that barely works anymore). The compact size will allow this boombox to fit in the tiniest of dorm rooms or studio apartments, and this could easily be all a high school or college student (or young working adult) needs besides a laptop computer to supply all of his or her entertainment needs. Highly recommended!

The Ematic CD Boombox with AM/FM Radio, Bluetooth Audio and Speakerphone plays more than just music! Some of the great features of this CD Boombox are amazing. Bluetooth Audio, answer calls though and works like a speakerphone. Another great function of this CD Boombox is that CD, CD-R and CD-RW player. The sound quality is intense and clear, no static noise! The function button are clearly labeled so no guessing what does this button for? The radio band is perfect not a lot of squelch. I really enjoy the size of this CD/ Am/ FM, radio! So many options that one can use for multiple use, speakerphone, blue tooth, etc. The sound quality is amazing, and who would of thought it would come from such a small cd player. Light weight, and perfect for small spaces. I love how it fits nicely on my desk at home! The Ematic CD Boombox with AM/FM Radio, Bluetooth Audio and Speakerphone owners manual is so easy to read, and one bonus is it done with the English language! The photo and the list of function for the Ematic CD Boombox with AM/FM Radio, Bluetooth Audio and Speakerphone are easy to understand! This Ematic CD Boombox with AM/FM Radio, Bluetooth Audio and Speakerphone will truly benefit my family and I when we loose power! I have tried it with batteries, it is just as clear as when it is plugged in to the wall outlet. Remember to remove the batteries if you are not using this for a long period of time, to eliminate the batteries from leaking! Also to unplug if not in use from the outlet! Perfect CD/ Radio to take with you on days to the beach, or camping with the family! I enjoy sitting on the deck and listening to the news, music. Perfect for those places in your home where there is not an available outlet! Just add the batteries! Who knew this little CD player could have such great sound quality? If you thinking of buying one, you will not be disappointed it is so well worth it!
