Memorex MP3142 Boombox Boomboxes

 

Quite pleasant audio. Plays mp3 encoded discs. Right speaker weak, though audio circuit through earphones shows perfect balance. No ability to adjust balance between left and right speakers.

Touchy Radio

 

Tried plugging the power cord into the unit. Had to try several times. Finally just crammed it in there and it played. But if you bump the cord the slightest bit the power is killed. Very cheap mechanism in my opinion. Radio didn't sound the greatest...

Plays MP3 discs good

 

Only MP3 disc player I found in any local electronics store. Very pleased with purchase & folks in the store were MOST helpful. I use it to play Old Time Radio programs I purchased that are in MP3 format containing 50 shows (25hrs).

Play-back of MP3 discs is very good

No memory of last band played

My wife and I purchased this product because it had a clock and repeat function. We used this for when our son slept, so he had background music. The night our baby was born I purchased one at toys r us took it home and the cd player function didn't...

Could be better

 

This boombox plays CDs well and does very well with my mp3 player. It has a good sound but the volume is too low and it doesn't pick up FM stations very good and short antenna is very awkward. It's easy to carry around and very light. I would recommend...

mp3 player is great and easy to carry around. Sound is very good with very little distortion

The volume is too low and fm tuner is not very good. The antenna is really too short
