Jensen CD-550 Portable Stereo Compact Disc Cassette Recorder with AM/FM Radio

Seller shipped unit fast and it arrived sooner than expected. Unit works as it should, sound is okay considering the size of the speakers. So far we are happy with this unit.

Light and easy to move around to different areas of the yard or house. Sounds great. Can use included electical cord or batteries. I like it and use it on my deck when I'm grilling or chilling!!

I love it. I am digitizing cassettes right now, so this way I can play them through and discover what I would like to preserve. As a composer, I look for cassette ideas I had put down years ago and never finished. They when I digitize the piece, I can put it on Garage Band (APPLE) and dress it up to my heart's content. So rewarding. I see a remote control star line below. I don't have one with mine.

Nice looking unit, but the quality is not there. Out of the box, the cd player worked until the fifth song and then quit. Thought it might be the cd. Put another one in couldn't get it to work at all first, but then it did start working as it should. Sound was okay. Tried to play cassettes. Player was making clicking noises. Put another tape in, same noise. Took out tapes and pressed play. Noise coming from the tape player. Time to send this back!

My son to got this CD player/ AM-FM cassette radio for me on Amazon. The price was very good. It was smaller (a good thing) than the unit I was replacing which was 22 years old. The antenna is internal which is also good because the old unit's antenna broke off. I don't like that this unit DOES NOT have a AM/FM frequency indicator on its face, but it's on the rotator tuning wheel. It's clumsy and a little hard to read. The LCD/LEDs are too bright and the power cord keeps slipping out the back (I used my old power cord which fits snugly and securely). The sound is fantastic and the cassette player works flawlessly!

Volume/speaker out put lacking!!15-20 feet away song words/melody not clear. I hear my neighbors poolside music w/more clarity at 300+feet away. Unfortunately I didn't try this JENSEN CD -550 portable stereo/compact disc cassette recorder w/ AM/FM radio for $35.79 until 16 days passed my return eligibility date. There have been moments of silence here & there during CD play on new CD'S as well. I got this thing to play CD collection in a 30"x35'' area. I have less than 2 hours play time trying it out. IT IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED FROM JENSEN. I'M OUT OF $35.7 & THE MUSIC I HAVE MISSED HEARING. Sitting beside the player w/ the VOLUME all the up is not loud enough for my MOTHER to yell "turn it down". Sitting beside it is the only way one may get the benefit from the sound of music. PARDON the PUN. RUN, save your money or grab 2 cans & a string & sing, same difference.

Works as adertised : very easy to use. VEry fast and well packaged by the shipper. A very good price for a good product,

Doesn't pick up radio stations. Cheap plastic. Not up to Jensen standards.

Electrical plug does not fit snugly into the radio. Had to keep putting it in. Radio is fine.
