Sounds great and easy to use. Review: Jury still out on this one but sounds promising - I have bought, sampled and returned a lot of portable boomboxes over the last few months for various issues regarding sound quality, workmanship and ease of use. I believe that this current purchase has hit the sweet spot and will fill the bill. I ordered this Nextron boombox late Friday night and it was on doorstep at 4:30 A.M. Thank you desertcart for the fastest delivery ever for am order I placed - way to go! Before I critique each function of this unit, some general observations. The sound quality and volume are surprisingly good for such a small unit. The speakers really do deliver and the bass boost does add a definite extra punch to the sound no matter what function you choose and give more depth and richness to the sound as well. The controls are easy to use and easily accessible, a good thing since this product does not come with a remote. This boombox comes with a telescopic antenna - more on that shortly. The unit is lightweight without batteries but not featherweight - in other words it is sturdily built of hard plastic so I expect it to last on that basis alone. There are two color choices - black or white. I chose the black. Don't generally like white for a music system. Now for the individual functions - I have not yet used the USB so I cannot comment on that. 1) Radio. You have both AM and FM. Please use the antenna as the reception in general is good but not flawless. This of course will partly depend on where you live - however in the NYC area where I live the FM reception depends on how I place the unit and where. If in the right spot it is perfect. Otherwise there will be static. The AM reception is not impressive at all but this is less of a bother for me as I only listen to one AM station for traffic and weather. So FM over AM. The AM/FM selector is a switch on the right side, the radio selector proper is on the left side and the station knob is on the top right of the unit. Operating the radio is easier than it sounds. 2) CD player. This unit comes with a top loading CD player. To activate this function move the switch on the left of the unit to CD. The LCD screen will flash NO. When this happens gently open the the CD door by pushing the door down on the lower right corner and put the CD in. Be careful with the CD door as the door opens only a short way up not giving much space for the CD to go in. One should get used to this though. Also make sure the door shuts completely as it tends to stay open with too little pressure - just be gentle. I must mention that while the CDs I have used generally play with no issues there is a skipping problem when two or more tracks are too close together. The very end of the first track is clipped off and the next track begins. I have had this issue on all the players I have tried so I will just live with this - I also wish to mention that my CD's are clean and scratch free. This will bother some more than others depending on whether CDs are still a part of your life. One unusual feature with the CD player is that the track number and track timing alternate every few seconds on the screen rather than showing both together at the same time. Have never seen this before but there is a first for everything I suppose including this. Bluetoooth - no complaints here. Synched to my phone effortlessly and the sound is great One puzzling aspect of this unit is that the LCD screen is not backlit so it is very hard to read it in dim light. Why this has been overlooked is a mystery - considering the price point of this system having a backlight should have been a no-brainer. I also agree with a reviewer regarding the green sticker on the CD door. Aesthetically odd but I will not remove it for obvious reasons. There is a manual included so just read through it before use and you should be fine. So I recommend this Nextron boombox as a reliable purchase. It is not perfect but the best I have personally come across. Sound is fine with the above reservations re the radio. The volume is sufficiently loud for an average residence. If you want blow the roof off though get a system costing several times more. The Nextron does what it is supposed to do and does it quite well. ## Features - Enhanced Stereo Sound – Built-in front-firing 3" stereo speakers deliver clear, well-balanced audio, while the Bass-Boost button lets you add extra depth to your music. - Top-Loading CD Player – Plays standard CDs, CD-R/RW discs, audiobook CDs, and MP3/WMA audio files, offering flexible playback for both classic albums and custom recordings. - AM/FM Radio with Presets – Digital tuner with 20 AM and 30 FM station memory for quick access to news, talk, and music programming. - Bluetooth Wireless Streaming – Enjoy wireless playback from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop with reliable Bluetooth connectivity.

How good will this radio work? Thank you** A: We have difficulty with the short antennae pulling in our favorite public radio station. It is better as a CD player. **Q: Does it plug into the wall** A: Yes, it plugs into the wall, or works with 6 UM-2 ("C") batteries (batteries not included). **Q: How is the volume? We will use it for our daughter who has a brain injury and want to be able to turn the volume low.** A: The volume should be above average. Anyhow, you can use the accurate and wide-range volume control to set the volume at your favorite level, including very low level. **Q: Can it be played through PA system?** A: Hello- No, I do not see where it has hook up for a PA system. It is a small, self contained CD player that does not do much more than sit on the counter and play CD's and radio. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth Buying *by C***J on May 5, 2026* For the price and the compactness this is a great portable CD etc. player.

Picks up stations well, very good sound on CD. Only poor design is main on/off/CD button is tiny tiny slider on left side as you face it. Hard to find, hard to operate, & just damn frustratingly inconvenient. I had to paste a big white tag on side to remind for my wife & I grumble myself every time I use it. So otherwise 100% great, but the on/off side slider switch is just dumb damn design. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nextron Portable Stereo CD Player Boombox with AM/FM Radio, Bluetooth, USB, AUX-in, Headphone Jack, CD-R/RW and MP3 CDs Compatible, Clear and Full Sound with Bass Boost, AC/Battery Operated – Black - Energizer Alkaline Power C Batteries (12 Pack), Long-Lasting Alkaline C Cell Batteries --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/302154057-portable-cd-player-bluetooth-boombox-with-am-fm-radio-usb](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/302154057-portable-cd-player-bluetooth-boombox-with-am-fm-radio-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
