Jensen Portable Bluetooth CD Music System

It does sound great. I read some of the other reviews and yes this system has great sound. Shipping was a little hard on it. The box was damaged and Amazon put it in a bigger box. There is a dent in the front of the system but I guess I have to live with it. But yes sounds great. CD player works just fine.

The sound is good my only complaint is the extremely dim readout which indicates programs/channels

 So let me start of by saying I bought this stereo because of wanting to collect CDs again. I was born in the 90s so CDs were a crucial part of my childhood and there was just always something about listening to your favorite music this way. It truly makes me feel like a kid again to own this type of stereo. but even better than that, it’s not only got a cassette tape player too, but also equipped with standard AM/FM radio, Bluetooth and Auxiliary cable support.

Pros:
Sound

The sound is EXACTLY what I was wanting out of this thing. If I could explain what it sounds like to listen to music through speakers that sounds like you’re still in the early 2000s but with great quality that’s exactly what this does for me.
Very clean and crisp, and quite loud too.

Color

The color is nice. Very reminiscent of early 2000s to late 2000s stereos which was another intention of purchasing. The screen is nice and simple that adds to the nostalgia for me.

Audio playback capability

The amount of audio playback capability you get is a huge plus. I’m not sure if I’ll ever use the cassette player but I’m super happy it has one. The am/fm radio is obviously nice too, and the fact that I have the option to use Bluetooth or Auxiliary is pretty sweet too. I should also mention it’s even got a headphone jack if you want to use headphones on that for some reason and the added remote to use the stereo while laying down in bed or anything is super convenient too.

Portability and light

It’s definitely light weight and portable, with the ability to use batteries to power it for on the go usage. Comes with a standard cable for indoor power as expected. If you didn’t realize already too, it’s got removable speakers for your positioning needs!

Overall quality of the unit

It doesn’t feel super cheap, and honestly if you can remember how stereos you’d buy at Walmart that were on the higher end spectrum this is exactly what it reminds me of. The buttons on the unit are pretty clicky and feel good for what it’s worth.

Cons:

Price point

For just shy of 90 dollars, I think it’s ever so slightly high priced for what it is, but at the same time.. the investment is worth it because I couldn’t really find any other unit of this caliber at any price point that’s close to this one. They were all much higher so I guess it makes sense for what it includes.

Remote

I think the remote could be ever so slightly better. Feels flimsy and it’s not the most responsive at times, but doesn’t take away the general functionality and convenience it has.

I think that’s really all I have for the “cons” if you can even call it that.

10/10 would recommend this for anyone trying to re-live their past like I wanted to 😎

Tuve que devolverla por 3 motivos importantes que me decepcionaron:
1.- Nunca se comió las cintas (ese es buen punto) PERO obviamente me enviaron con defecto: La velocidad de la cassettera era inestable: algo rápida y a veces lenta al tocar cualquier cassette.
2.-La música en la cassetera se escuchaba algo temblorosa.
3.- Por el tamaño (50 cms de largo) y la marca imagine que tendría buen sonido pero no fue asi :
Un buen sonido no es igual a que solo tenga potencia,debe estar bien ecualizado en graves y agudos.Aunque tiene buenos graves aún sin el botón de Bass,al oprimirlo sí da más potencia,PERO no tiene nitidez en agudos,eso le hace falta por lo que se escuchaba como si cubriera las bocinas con una almohada o,como si grabaras música varias veces en un mismo cassette que no es re-grabable ¿me entiendes?…como un cassette re grabado de mala calidad y los cd’s también se escuchaban así.
No sé si los mismos modelos de este micro componente se escuchen así…mal en cuestión al sonido y también pensé que las bocinas venían con defecto.
Y si este micro componente suena así de mal,entonces no vale lo que cuesta.Hay mejores boombox y micro componentes que este,de verdad pero,¿como encontrar el indicado? ya me resulta un fastidio.He devuelto 2 de otras marcas que se comíeron las cintas y arruinaron 5 cassettes originales,fue algo que me molestó mucho y este Jensen con defecto en la cassettera que ya mencioné.

We love it. It has everything and a great sound.

Bought unit as a replacement for an older radio/cassette/CD player. Out of the box, remote did not work (but I rarely use a remote, so didn’t bother me). Was able to get it working for 2 months, with reasonably good sound quality – however LCD display was dim. After 2.5 months, system started to malfunction, and LCD went dark. Unable to see what mode it is in, and therefore cannot use it. Checked user manual, and the 90 day warranty is ONLY good in the continental US. Emailed Spectra – they confirmed. Checked Amazon – return period had expired. If you are selling internationally, at least have the guts to back your product. Shame on Jensen and Spectra. Shame on Amazon for omitting that little, but key bit of information (the warranty), from their ad for the product. If you are considering buying this product (or any Jensen / Spectra product) and you are outside the continental US – look for something else. Mad in Canada.
