skip CLICK pop

Pros reads regular cds, plays them too
Cons annoying pops and clicks, poor unreliable MP3 playback, not worth extra money for...
Recommended it? No

I'm not very satisfied with the RCD160. At first I thought it was a good deal for its relatively low price, but it's got some minor annoyances and major problems. I'm not sure if all or most other boomboxes do the same things, but this one does.

First, on the positive side, it at least... Read full review »

Not complete crap, but almost

Pros Plays cds, cd-r and mp3
Cons Annoying pop in between songs, weak output, no features-oh and burning out and dying
Recommended it? No

****UPDATE****
I have to update this and at the same time LOWER my rating and recommendation of this "boom" box. The other night I was sitting in front of my computer when I noticed a smell, a burning smell. I went into alert mode and began frantically searching for the source. I traced the... Read full review »

Piece of crap!

Pros I thought the sound was pretty good, when it worked.
Cons Unreliable disc play overall, poor mp3 play, no CD-RW play
Recommended it? No

Despite claims, I could not get it to read CD-RWs, nor did it handle mp3 discs properly, sometimes not even accessing all of the tracks on the disc. It also has this infuriating habit of just not reading CDs at all whenever it doesn't feel like it. Read full review »

Poor Choice

Pros Nice to find a MP3 player for cheap bucks. Sound is OK.
Cons Lots of pops and clicks when playing MP3 and changing tunes. Hard to use controls.
Recommended it? No

Hard to find boomboxes that play MP3 - this is a compromise. Lots of pops and clicks when playing MP3 and changing tunes. Hard to use controls. Sound is OK for the money. Read full review »

A beautiful piece of junk!

2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Affordable, stylish, mp3 playback
Cons no random mp3 shuffle, no remote, bass distortion, poor reliablity
Recommended it? No

I bought this boombox about a month ago and at the start it was working fine. I was happy because it was affordable, looked cool, and had mp3 playback capability. The bass distortion was bad but I could live with that. Well the love affair ended just last week. It wouldn't play my mp3's and than it... Read full review »

Not happy

Pros Not finding too many right now.
Cons No random mode!? Songs skip and radio has hard time recognizing CD-RWs with mp3.
Recommended it? No

I originally asked for this product for Christmas, wanting an MP3 player I could use at work that was portable and looked a little more professional than some of the mp3 boom boxes out there. The first few times I tried to get the radio to read a CD-RW with MP3s it didn't even recognize having a... Read full review »

A Basic Boombox for Playing MP3 Files

byjhacker Dec 27, 2004
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great bargain if you just want to play mp3s away from your computer.
Cons Bass distortion, doesn't display mp3 text info, marginal radio receiver
Recommended it? Yes

The RCD-160 is a boombox that plays audio/mp3 CD-R/RW discs. For sound settings it has a preset EQ and a bass enhancement. Of course, it also has an FM/AM radio with digital tuning and 10 presets for each band.

This RCD-160 is OK if you're looking for something basic. Overall, the unit... Read full review »

Pros Good sound. Compact size for the sound, relatively good exterior design.
Cons Screen black unable to see specific tracks, mode, radio or CD. Squeaky noises playing...
Recommended it? No

Bought it to use at my desk at work. Use to set a relaxed mood for my clients with personally chosen music. Also to hear the latest in hurricane warnings/updates from the radio (Florida). Read full review »
