JensenJBS-210 3-Piece Modern Compact Bluetooth Stereo Shelf System, CD Player, Digital AM/FM Stereo with Speakers, Aux-in, & Remote Control Included (Black/Gold)

I bought this as a replacement for my 90 year old dad’s stereo. The size is ideal for retirement living and it’s easy for him to use. The nine functional buttons across the top are easy for him to understand and use. And the power button on the front is terrific. Unlike most of the CD players, the simple, functional design of this one is perfectly uncomplicated. My dad loves listening to his CDs on this stereo and that makes me very happy.

Jensen was always that cheap stereo brand at Walmart that worked for people on a budget but sound quality was mediocre. But you got what you paid for. I read the reviews here which persuaded me to take a chance on it, that perhaps sound quality and features would be better than what I remembered.Well, it's still a Jensen. If you're expecting a loud stereo, you will be disappointed. My old Sony boom box is louder than this thing and it was one of Sony's more basic boom boxes back in the 90s.I had an Aiwa shelf system with a 3 CD shanger and I think it had 120 watts per channel. That was an impressive shelf system and at $250-$300 in 1995, it had GREAT sound and was a lot cheaper than a Nakamichi or Denon shelf system back then.This thing is tiny and doesn't even compete. It's got like 15 watts per channel I think and is really basic.It works...sort of. It plays CDs, CD-Rs, Bluetooth, etc. But it's not in the same league, not even in the single-A farm team league, as the Aiwa, Nakamichi, or Denon shelf systems. It's more like a 5th grade little league team by comparison. It also has terrible AM reception, so not good for talk radio.This system would be perfect for the waiting room of a doctor/dentist office where you don't want it to get too loud. Or maybe in an apartment building with thin walls. It would not be adequate in a mechanic shop or place where there's any noise, because the shop noise will over power this thing turned up to full blast.The bottom line is that it's a Jensen. It's a mediocre shelf system. You want high quality, you have to pay for high quality.

I love this little powerful stereo!! Great space saver, sounds great, fits perfect on my shelf!! Love it!

Works well and easy to use. Set up was fast.

I bought this Jensen system to listen to the radio and play cds. It was very easy to set up, except the antenna keeps falling off. I don't use the remote because remotes disappear in my hands, and haven't tried Bluetooth because I don't understand it. The sound from cds is amazingly good, I am impressed and like that very much. The radio reception is terrible. I am 60 miles away from downtown Chicago so that is one problem. The other problem is the antenna. It is a very flimsy cord, and the connector is a tiny piece of wire that falls out of its hole. That is disappointing. Overall, though, I would buy it again for the good sound.

Installation was quick and easy. The radio worked great. However after about 4 CD’S in the CD player stopped working. I thought maybe it got hot so the next day I tried the CD player and it still wouldn’t play. Very frustrating having to box everything back up to return to Amazon.

I love it. I did have to call Amazon about a small problem that cropped up in March 2023. They told me the option was to return for refund. This was out of stock. No it was not. They were available, but the price increased by $30.00 So I decided to reach out to Jensen and Norma refered me to Easybuys. So I reached out and Jacob answered and is making things right. Thank you so much to Norma Chavez and Jacob Eryami for stepping in when Amazon dropped the ball.

Your delivery method stinks. Came 5 days after original delivery date. Amazon staff and USPS not very helpful. Remote control small.
