Title: No "Boom" in this Box
Product review: I purchased this alleged "boombox" to use in my woodworking shop, so I could listen to my large CD collection while I worked. For the relatively low price, I didn't expect much in the way of "extras." However, not only doesn't this box have "extras," it doesn't even have a serious "essential," as far as I'm concerned. The sound is just pathetic. The speakers are tiny, tinny and not very pleasing at all. The volume control barely raises the level to what could be called "loud," and there is absolutely no tone control of any kind. No bass, no treble, not even a "bass boost" option. I listen to a lot of bagpipe band music, and the bass drums aren't even audible. My bluegrass is tinny, and my classic rock sounds like it's coming through a transistor radio. While the unit does *function,* calling it a "boombox" is being kind in the extreme. Do yourself a favor and check out the specials .... before you blow ... bucks on this squeaker-toy.
