Perfect Size, excellent sound quality
What a creative idea! Both my kids love it. My daughter, age 5, loves the simplicity of this player. It gives her independence to use on her own. The sound quality is clear and the sound level can actually get loud, if need be. The player is the perfect size to fit on her nightstand. The quality is top notch so far. The only negative is that if the cd player is left on, it won’t come up with an ERP message. Then we have to unplug and plug back in to restart.

Worth every penny
Love, love, love this cd player! It not only plays CDs you can listen to the radio and bluetooth to your device and you can also connect it to a speaker for louder listening. To be honest it plays pretty loud on its one and it works well. I have had no issues or complaints. It’s a good size for a coffee table or to have displayed in your home. I hope it’s continues to work for a long time.

Sick retro CD player.
This CD player looks super fancy on my shelf. It looks like a vintage vinyl player which is very cool. The sound quality is really good with nice volume and it's super simple to use. I love using the FM radio. Really fun to play with. Would recommend if you're looking for something that looks good and plays your music! Also would be a great gift for fancy friends (or wannabe fancy friends lol). Super easy to use. It doesn't take up a lot of space either. Fits perfectly in my shelf.

Cute and Useful Boombox
I picked this up to use in my classroom and it has been a great boombox. The bluetooth connects easily to my phone. I can control the volume from my music app. It has a rechargeable battery which makes it very convenient to use around school. The battery easily lasts the entire school day. The cd player also works well. It has been fun showing my students the cd player and how it all works. The size of the boombox is perfect. It sits nicely on my counter without taking up too much room and it looks nice as well. This is a great addition to any classroom or house.

Decent, but could use a few improvements
Was having a conversation with my partner and realized that although we have hundreds of CDs, we didn't have anything we could play them on other than my computer. I'm pretty happy I found this thing. The look and size is pretty much perfect for me. I wanted something that would fit nicely on a bookshelf without being obnoxiously large or out of place. This fits the bill perfectly. The styling goes well with actual physical books, and it does a wonderful job of not taking up much room. The sound is surprisingly good as well. While it's not a top of the line system to help drive your party, it does a great job helping to provide background music when you want something a bit more environmental. The CD player itself works well. Some of my disks have seen better times over the years, but this still works fine for reading all but my worst offenders. You will hear a bit of noise from the disk itself if the top is open, but closing it makes that go away. The problem with this though is that all the controls are under the top. The FM tuner doesn't have a quality external antenna, and you will have a little issue with trying to listen to weaker stations on this radio. I did have a bit of a QA issue on mine, as one of the rubber inserts in the feet on the bottom was missing. I checked the packaging but it wasn't in there either. Seems it never had the insert put in at the factory.
Pros:
- Good look, size, and sound
- Internal battery operation is a nice bonus
- CD, Bluetooth, FM radio, Line In, and MP3 playback all in one
Cons:
- You must choose between accessible controls or noise from the CD
- QA might not be up to snuff
- FM reception is a little weak

cute design, small footprint, convenient
This is an adorable little music player with multiple functions and a decent speaker. It doesn't compare sound-quality wise to a larger and pricier system, but it performs pretty well for it small size. It includes a manual to explain all of the functions, but it is pretty intuitive to use for the most part. CD playing is the simplest thing as you can see the mode on the digital display and pull over the tone arm to start the disc (which makes it look like a record spinning and is cute). I used this on battery power and it seems to hold a charge pretty well, though I was careful to turn the power off when not in use. It was easy to pair with my iPad so I could listen to music stored on it through the speaker. I was also able to listen to FM radio through it and to play music files from a thumb drive.
In terms of the points which didn't work quite so well for me, I could not get it to pair with my Soundcore Bluetooth headphones. I followed the instructions, but could not get them to connect. Other than that, you cannot use a drive which is larger than 32 GB with this or it will not recognize it. So, you can't put a huge library on a thumb drive and just use it. You need to do it in smaller chunks.
In terms of value for money, it really depends on how important being able to play physical media for you is and how you feel about the retro design. I do feel this is adequate value is you're looking for a physical media player for your CDs.

MY CD COLLECTION IS VALUABLE AGAIN! L👁️👁️K!
We started decluttering our home in anticipation for an upcoming community garage sale. I came across a large binder filled with our music CD collection that we had acquired over the years. No longer having a CD player I realized how much I missed listening to our music. After my initial searches, I came across this device which immediately stopped me in my tracks. I was very surprised to see the size which was much larger than I thought it was based on the photos. It has a wood exterior on the cabinet which is very nice, speakers in the front grill and acrylic top to protect the player from dust and at the same time making it look like a retro turntable that we had growing up on our older home stereo system.
The really nice feature for me is Bluetooth on this device, because this device is a Bluetooth transmitter and receiver I can stream music to this player or from this player. It also has an auxiliary jack so I can connect this to bigger speakers I have around my home to take advantage of the portability of this CD player. I placed it in the kitchen / living room so we can play our favorite songs. When we want a little quiet time we can use Bluetooth headphones to listen to our favorite music again instead of gathering dust for many years in a closet.
You can also plug in wired headphones or ear buds too as there is a jack in the back of the player. If you need more ways to enjoy music there is a USB port that can play your MP3’s or insert a TF card and get additional ways to store music. It’s has an FM radio built in and that can be transmitted by Bluetooth. The sound is real stereo which comes from 2 speakers loaded in the front grill. The sound quality is surprisingly good and clear with separation with bass midrange and highs. I tested it streaming to my home surround sound system and it’s AWESOME! Now when we have friends and family over I can fill our home with music! When people see it they immediately start sharing memories of records and turntables growing up because this player looks exactly like one. I am so glad I got this CD player because it takes up hardly any room, it’s portable, it’s wireless, looks great!, and has now made my CD collection valuable again! Don’t hesitate, get this and start enjoying music again! Thanks for reading my review!

Nostalgic Vibes with Modern Touch!
I recently chose this CD boombox, and it works great!
It sounds exactly as you would expect, reminiscent of the classic 90s models but with a upgrade.
The audio quality is warm, thanks to the stereo dual speakers. Whether you're playing CDs, or tuning into the FM radio, the sound is clear.
The built-in battery makes it perfect for on-the-go listening, and the user-friendly design ensures anyone can operate it with ease. It’s a fantastic blend of retro style and modern functionality!

The unit came with the wrong power cord, I won't hear able to actually review how it works until I am able to get C batteries.

G Kerri Portable CD and Cassette Player Boombox Combo
Revising my past review, the first time I tried to play one of my favorite old cassette’s the cassette player ate it. I hadn’t tried it again since I bought it. Every thing else worked great. I decided to give it another try by playing another tape and it worked just fine. So I decided to play my old favorite tape again, my daughter had been able to get it loose after working on it for an hour. This time it played beautifully and the sound is great. I think it was me that caused the problem the first time I tried. I had to give a second review to let everyone know this little boom box is great. I’m changing to five stars. Loving my purchase. Looking forward to playing my old Time Radio Novels next 😊

Terrible design
I am absolutely disappointed in the radio. I purchased this for a Client of mine that has TBI. He is stuck with technology and only uses a cd player and a cassette player. He enjoys music from the 70s and the 80s. He was so happy with the radio and then became upset that the AC port was broken. Playing CDs really helps with his current situation. I don’t recommend this to anyone. I posted about this before and heard nothing back. I want a refund. No one should buy this product!

Great light weight- big sound player
My Sony portable gave up after quite a few years and this little machine came right on time. It’s perfect, lighter, smaller and it has Bluetooth. It can run plugged in or outside on batteries. I can listen to my old cassettes, my cds and radio. The controls are easy to use, no instruction manual necessary. The current price of $70 minus a 20% coupon bringing it to $56 is a few dollars more than many of the competitors - but I am happy with it.

Speakers sound ok
Portable cd/cassette/am/fm radio sounds ok on this portable boombox. Unit is somewhat small and sound quality is average. Antenna is short and only picked up a few radio stations. Cd and cassette players work fine. Can use plugged in or with “c” batteries.

Nice little portable player
The G Keni Portable CD & Cassette Player was a little smaller than I thought it would be, but that doesn’t affect the performance. I’m actually glad it is a bit more compact because it is easier to move it around with you. It has stereo sound, which is solid and the clarity is good. The CD player is easy to use and the CDs play with no problem. It doesn’t have a deep base sound or a wide range of sound, but it is pleasant. The cassette player works really well and the sound is clear, especially with audio tapes. I have numerous cassette tapes with great music from the 80’s and 90’s recorded on them, and various lecture tapes that I still enjoy listening to. The playback sounds great, especially with the speaking/lecture tapes. No hissing or buzzing in the background but very clear. The Bluetooth connected to my iPhone with no problem as well as to one of my smaller TV’s. The radio tuning dial is pretty sensitive, so you have to slowly dial in to your favorite stations. I did find that it has the ability to pick up radio signals really well. I was having difficulty tuning into a couple of my favorite radio stations on my other devices but the Keni G pulled them right in. I was pleasantly surprised by this. For this reason I have it it my kitchen now where I can listen to my CDs, listen to my music cassette tapes & lectures and tune into my favorite radio stations. I like the fact you can put batteries in as a back-up. Our weather can cause power outages and it is nice to have a working radio during these times. This player would be perfect to take to the beach, camping, on vacation, in the RV, outside, etc. The remote works good. As with any new piece of electronics, you have to learn the equipment and then become familiar with all of the functions. I have used it for several days now, and I do like it really well, and I’m finding that I’m liking it better the more that I use it. This is a solid player with several functions and quite easy to use.

Great Gift for an Old Hippie!
This is a cool gift because it's so versatile being able to play so many different audio formats. That's why I gave it to my friend for his birthday who just turned 63; he is an owner of all of those formats. After the party he tested out all the features and gave this little player two thumbs up.

Great sound
This little boom box produces really good sound. I also like how compact it is, and the flashing lights are fun. I’ve only used the CD option, and that works well. Very satisfied!
kindred spirit
Great for taking outdoors, to picnics etc....
This is exactly what I have wanted for a few years. It is lightweight, not hugely expensive. The sound is good enough for me to do yardwork to or listen to radio. It even has a feature that was a surprise. When a CD plays the speakers give an LED light show, that was a fun little surprise. It has an AC adapter that is not just USB, very happy with that. It has a cheaper feel but I think it will hold up well enough.

Pretty good little boombox
We are using this cute little boombox in the kids' room so that they have an easy way to play their music. This unit sounds more than good enough for that use and it actually has a ton of cool features. I was a little confused by the radio controls until I read the instructions. The radio automatically scans and pre-sets the stations with one touch -- actually pretty cool and simple. The CD plays with no issues and this also has an Aux input, USB, and Bluetooth which is pretty impressive. The speakers also light up with rainbow colors to the music, but the entire speaker doesn't glow, just the perimeter. Overall, we are pleased with this little guy.
