SharpCD-BH10 Vintage Style Retro Look Micro Component Wireless Bluetooth Audio Streaming & CD Player Wood Speaker System, USB Port for MP3 Playback, FM Stereo Digital Tuner, AUX Input

SHARP has always been a wonderful company in regard to electronics; I still have most of a stereo system that my parents purchased from the mid/late 1980's, and although the CD player unit wore out after about a decade, I've kept the central unit AND those very tall left/right speakers with the smooth wooden finish fully functioning and hooked them up to my computer/iPod via one of those line-in cords, and everything remaining works like a charm! :)Onto the actual product, before I digress, and just wanted to give some praise in regard to a past SHARP product that our family had previously purchased! After becoming frustrated on account of another very well-known brand (I won't mention the name as not to cause them embarrassment!) that manufactures the same type of CD players as the one I'm about to review, I went through TWO of them, in hoping that maybe just the first one was a "dud." Yet again, the second stereo had the same problems as the previous one... About a half year since first using the product, the CD skips, goes silent, starts again, goes silent, sometimes jumps between tracks over the course of the CD, and keeps on going and going... Sometimes it "corrects" itself if you actually let it go after some time, and other times, could go on forever, and the CD needs to be ejected, inserted back into the player for another go, only for the same nonsense to occur again and again, and who wants to suffer through such aggravation, right?! A shame, as that particular product is known for its excellent bass and sound output. :(Fortunately, this SHARP CD player is the closest item to what I once had, and after searching this website for any kind of CD player that wouldn't "break down" within a year after the actual purchase, it was a true Blessing to come across this gem! Maybe it was just a "freak" incident, but I've only had the power go off by itself while the CD was playing one time; Maybe it's because I used the remote to start the CD on a different track to my liking and the system didn't agree with it? With CD players, there will be quirks here and there, as long as they're not routine! Another heads-up, so buyers won't be alarmed, is that sometimes when the CD is inserted, the player needs to "read" the disc before it can be played, and it won't always process and will display, "No disc" on the screen that shows the track number and track time of the CD; No worries! Just keep ejecting and keep trying, sometimes turning the power on and off while the CD is still within the unit, and eventually the CD WILL play; This may SOMETIMES be the case, but most times the CD will start right up... I try to give the products the benefit of the doubt, such as the anti-shock scenario with the CD discmans from the 1990's and early 2000's, whenever they were moved or "bumped!"Please be patient as things seem to work a bit slower with this particular CD player verses the one in which I've had a bad experience with... Give it a few seconds to warm up when the power is turned on, and also if you use the "Repeat All" feature, if you want your CD/album to keep playing... Some brands of CD players take you from the end of the final track on the CD back to the first track at lightning speed, whereas SHARP takes a few seconds to return back to base, so accept the delay, as long as the music plays without interruptions. One more thing: If you are listening to an album where all of the tracks "merge" into one another (Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall" are two examples), there is a limitation as the CD will "pause" for a nanosecond, while changing over to the very next track in the sequence, if that makes any sense. If this doesn't bother you, then you will be very pleased with your experience using this SHARP CD player. It may sound like I have a lot of negative material to say, but this is just how the product functions, and I have no problems with it at all, and it's still functioning beautifully to this day; Just wanted to be honest with buyers, in case they had certain expectations in their minds. The most important thing is that you get very satisfactory sound quality, as opposed to back in the day, when you had the option of regulating the bass and treble knobs or switches to your liking on the older stereo systems; Everything is in its place! *On this particular unit, the volume goes up to "32," and "20" is pretty loud; 20 is great to have it set to, as long as there's no one else in the area at that time, out of respect to neighbors, otherwise stick to keeping it between 12-14! ;) Also, if you're like me and have a collection of "re-mastered" CD reissues of music/bands from the 1960's and 1970's, it's WIN-WIN with the output of the sound quality! :)The product is designed very nicely and isn't very heavy to lift, has a nice finish on the top that won't attract dust if not wiped down daily, remote comes with batteries, and the nicely looking silver-coated volume knob and buttons that operate the CD on the actual unit are easily accessible. Depending on what technology you use to access your music, if you're still in "CD" mode like me, versus those who listen to vinyl, downloads/streaming, etc., and you have a CD player that just won't cooperate, definitely invest in this SHARP edition... You'll be glad you did! :) Thanks for taking the time to read, and may God Bless you all with the very best in life! ~Kindest regards from Kevin :)

The sound quality exceeds my expectations. I’m a lifelong musician and am quite particular about sound quality. While this is by no means an audiophile’s dream, it is certainly adequate for casual listeners.Things that I like:Sound/bass/EQ options, clarity at high volume(no discernible distortion), appearance, display dimmer.Things that could be better:FM reception, clock memory, random play memory, CD tray.When the unit is unplugged, the clock needs to be reset. An internal, battery-powered memory chip would be welcome.Listening via USB device, in random mode, needs to be reset each time the unit is turned on. This means that, in theory, tracks on your USB device will never be played because random mode must be restarted every time; a significant oversight.I would prefer an auto-feed CD slot, rather than a tray. In my particular situation, I have to place the unit on its side. This means that I cannot use the CD player.Other than that, this is an impressive unit and I would certainly buy it again.

I was tired of having a boom box in my living room and wanted something that gave out great sound while looking more appropriate. I have a nice wooden end table, and this fit perfectly on it. Sharp is a trusted name, and lives up to it. The sound quality is excellent and the one-piece system fits nicely with my decor. Generally it is easy to use, but read over the instructions. I wish more could be done without the remote. I'd also like buttons for favorite FM stations on the system. And I would like a better antenna. The one provided doesn't pull in NPR very well, and I'm only 9 miles from Boston. I'm looking into other options. I'd also prefer a top-loading CD. However, CDs play well. I don't use the bluetooth feature. I got this for radio & CDs. I looked at many other similar options on Amazon and watched some YouTube reviews. Generally I'm pleased with this. It isn't a Bose but for a whole lot less you still get a good system that looks good.

Love the vintage look, good sound and so easy to use. I can now enjoy all my cd’s that have been in the closet. It also has great radio sound as well. Some reported difficulty in setting the clock, while the directions were not super clear, I was able to figure it out and set it easily enough.

Gather 'round young ones. I'm going to tell you a story about the early aughts. Back in the days of yore, Starbucks had CDs for sale at the counter. They were made through the HearMusic label and the compilations were really awesome. Like, really, really good. Everything from hip hop to jazz to pop to classical to holiday. (The holiday CDs were the best, IMO.) Its music that you can't find on Amazon, and are not longer produced because HearMusic went south many years ago. I still have all of the CDs I purchased during that era, hence the reason for the purchase of this player.The case of this player is really good looking. Clean and simple with BUTTONS and a dial to navigate around. The sound is deep and clear and resonates throughout the house. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it.LONG LIVE THE CD!!
