JensenCD-785 Bluetooth Portable CD Music System with Cassette Player and AM/FM Radio, CD-785

The media could not be loaded. 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:SoundThe 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.ColorThe 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 capabilityThe 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 lightIt’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 unitIt 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 pointFor 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.RemoteI 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 😎

Basic device that works well and makes a good addition to any garage to get your tunes going while you work. Price is OK and volume is sufficient for normal spaces.

Sure it works, but it's absolute garbage if you actually care about the quality of your music. Every CD I've ever played on this thing skips the last few seconds of every track, which is incredibly annoying when all your favorite albums have seamless transitions, and then I try to get cassettes to resolve this issue and it plays cassettes too fast making them sound like nightcore edits.The only reasonable option is playing the music i want to listen to as flacs on my phone connected to the stereo via bluetooth, but at this point though with the CD and cassette players not working properly, this is just a glorified bluetooth speaker and for what, $120 when it's not on sale? Just save yourself the trouble and buy a normal bluetooth speaker for way cheaper. I can't even return this now, it feels like a total scam.update: after a year and a half the CD reader is completely broken from ordinary occasional use. I'm making this update to trash on the piss poor longevity of this device on top of everything else. dont buy this.

I love the retro, but if you lose power for 1 second, you lose all stored radio stations, and the digital read out is too dim to see. Also the blue tooth function is MUCH quieter than the other functions.

I purchased this item for my mother so she could listen to her TV in her chair and more adequately control the volume. It is not very loud. I even had trouble hearing it with the volume all the way up. It was easy to connect this to her TV.

The cassette does not work properly. The button for play is jammed. The other parts of this component work fine but rethink this product before you buy.

Jensen designed and built a rockin little stereo. Everything is awesome. Great sound, bass boost, CD, am/fm, Bluetooth, auxiliary port and the cassette player all work great.Still a great name in sound. Love it.

has really nice reception and plays well
