My son was using my 30 year old clock radio & really wanted a cd player. So this is just perfect. It is not easy to set, which is a bit of a bummer b/c he is 8 and probably wont be able to set it himself for a long time. Otherwise the sound is fine & it sits nicely on his nightstand.
I bought this because it had all the bells and whistles that I needed. The clock radio has a CD player and an Aux in so I can plug my phone in and listen to my shows or tunes which is sweet..
