Sharp XL-BH250 Limited Edition 5-Disc Bluetooth Speaker System with USB, AM/FM, and Champagne Gold/Carbon Fiber Finish

I am pleasantly surprised about everything with this little system. It was very easy to assemble - didn't even need the directions. Please note that after reading reviews on it, I purchased the Bing Fu FM radio antenna, I never tried the one supplied with the system. My favorite radio station is K-Love & it comes through great! The CD exchange is much smoother than my last stereo & the sound is excellent! The x-base is on at level 5 which is max (love my bass) & the clarity is fantastic ... those smaller speakers pack a punch & I have not had them all the way up, don't need to. For reference, I have a large living room in a ranch house & I hear music in every room. If I had to be critical about something it would be the length of the speaker wire. My system is separated within a shelved cabinet, when I first hooked it up , the wire barely made it ... it did relax enough by the next day however.

The sharp micro stereo ships in a factory white retail box, so if this is a present or you dont want the factory box tore up during transport, then request the retail box be put inside a big brown amazon box. If you temper your expectations, then this unit sounds good at 50 watts RMS. 25 watts left + 25 watts right channel. The included FM antenna can go into the trash, because it's just a thin piece of wire that plugs into the back of the stereo. Buy the Bingfu FM dipole antenna for $8 if you want any real chance of pulling in radio stations. Note that there are 2 versions of this stereo. The all black model and the Gold Limited edition with the gold volume knob and gold trim around the woofers. The specs are the same for both units, so get the one that suits your style. Some reviews said they received the standard black model when they ordered the Gold Label model. The seller (Electronic Express) sent me the correct Gold Label model & it's new in box and not a refurb model. The instructions are written in clear English and set up was easy pie. Don't forget to press the eco button on the remote, so that the display goes complete dark when you press the red on/standby button. Otherwise, the screen will stay lit with disco screen flashing light messages that will freak you out and keep you awake at night if you like to sleep in complete darkness. Also, pressing the play mode buttton on the remote, until you see the words "random" display on screen will randomly play songs on the current disc. This unit does not randomly play songs on all 5 discs like the old school rotary disc stereos. Which is understandable, since all that movement will eventually wear out the mechanism. Work around: Just burn your favorite songs on a usb stick and insert into the stereo if you want random music playing. This is a nice retro nostalgia piece that brings back memories of playing CDs in the 80s. This unit is an upgraded 2022 model with CD, NFC, USB, and Bluetooth compared to other versions that have a cassette player. The remote has decent distance and controls the whole unit, so dont lose or break it. It's been 5 days and so far everything works great including the 5 disk CD player. The stack cd mechanism outputs more noise compared to the 5 disc rotary models, but nothing too crazy. I'll update the review if anything breaks. Click helpful if this info helped you out love 💜

First, take the unit out of DEMO mode. That will solve half the bad reviews. It's like the first step in the instructions. Second, the speakers aren't bad, per say. No, they won't fill a big room with full body sound, but for a smaller room like an office or bedroom they are fine. As for the 5-disc CD changer feature, it is a bit loud when it's changing discs and I really hope it's gear and not belt-driven because it does seem to be doing a lot of internal movement even if you just want to view the clock (which makes no sense) so heaven forbid if a belt broke. Also the unit is rather pokey and takes around 10 seconds to read a disc's TOC which is very poor performance speed-wise (this is also obviously why the "random play" doesn't pick tracks across discs and keeps to one disc at a time). And, it reads a disc's TOC EVERY TIME it is selected, even if the disc hasn't been changed. Also I wish the CD trays had the tray number printed on them. Finally (and I don't know if this is a plus or a minus), the unit remembers and will always return to the exact point on a disc that you stopped listening to it. If you switch to another disc or power off the unit, next time you play that disc it will pick up exactly where you left off--even when in the middle of a track. As for everything else, the Bluetooth and receiver both work as expected. Haven't tried the USB feature. The unit is nice and compact. It does have a lot of extraneous features like time-of-day activation, but I just ignore them. All-in-all I'm generally happy with it. It's about the best you can find these days since the age of high-end stereo systems seems to have passed. UPDATE: Another feature you may or may not care about is while a CD is playing you can change out any of the other 4 CD's and it won't interrupt the one playing. Kinda neat.

I have had this only a few days, so I can't evaluate its durability. I had no difficulty setting it up. The tone is very good and easy to operate. It is quite compact, as well.

What an incredibly easy set up. The sound quality is a little too much bass for me, but considering the price, it’s definitely worth it. I just returned an almost $800 5-CD player - with 5 yr warranty - to a local electronics store because it didn’t work. Someone was going to come to try to fix it, at an extra cost of course, but that didn’t quite work out. I’m happy I returned it. I absolutely love this little CD player! On a slightly different note, I have to mention the delivery man. He rang my doorbell (companies delivering for Amazon never do that in spite of a prominent sign on my door). I don’t expect delivery persons to wait for me at the door. But when I went to get the package, he was there waiting and placed the package inside the door for me. That was a first! I was so surprised that I completely forgot to ask his name or even check to see what delivery company he was from! Hopefully next time I’ll pay more attention.

O aparelho veio com defeito. Não carrega o CD. Eu devolvi.
