It is small, easy to move around and to travel with. It has everything I looked for at a low price. The radio works well, picking up many stations. The cd player played my home burned cd's as well as pre-recorded ones. I liked that it has an auxillary for connecting my phone to so I can play music on it through the stereo speakers. The headphone jack was great for when I wanted to listen quietly & not disturb anyone else. I liked this stereo so much that I re-ordered right away and bought 2 more for my sisters! Review: Delightfully simple - This CD player will not win awards for sound but if you're looking for a compact, basic sound machine, this will fit the bill. The simple, near-absence of digital controls makes it a great plug-and-play device for we of the technologically challenged group. There is no streaming, pairing, programming, or connection to WiFi. Just plug the thing in, set the desired sound source with the retro button on the side, adjust the volume and AM/FM radio frequency with the appropriate dial, or pop in a CD, and you're in business. Again, the sound will not blow your socks off. It's actually closer in sound to the old transistor type radios. There's no deep bass; there's actually very little of it and the overall sound could be described as "tinny." The sound is good, though, through headphones. A 5-star rating is admittedly high for a sound machine that doesn't put out the best sound. The ridiculously simple controls and functions, however, is delightfully refreshing and a welcome break from all the latest gadgets out there. ## Features - Top Loading CD Player, CD-R/RW Compatible, LED CD Track Display - Skip/Search Forward and Back, Repeat 1 or All, Programmable Memory - AM/FM Stereo Receiver, Foldable Carrying Handle, Telescopic Antenna, Stereo Headphone Jack - Auxiliary Input Jack for Connecting Your iPod, MP3 or other Digital Audio Players, Output: 2 x 1.5W RMS - Power: AC 120V/60Hz or 8 x β€˜C’ (UM-2) (Not included) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BCA40S0 | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Best Sellers Rank | #106,924 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #199 in Boomboxes | | Bluetooth support? | No | | Brand | Jensen | | Built-In Media | Jensen Portable Cd/Cd-R/Rw Player With Am/Fm Radio, Owner's Manual | | Color | Red and Black | | Compatible Devices | All phones | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (7,502) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00077283964916 | | Item Dimensions | 12.7 x 9.1 x 5.8 inches | | Item Type Name | Jensen CD-490 Portable Stereo Cd Player with Am/FM Stereo Radio | | Item Weight | 3.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Spectra Merchandising International, Inc. | | Number of Speakers | 2 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Speaker Type | Stereo | | Speakers Included | 2 Speakers | | Style Name | Radio | | Supported Audio Format | CD, MP3 | | Supported Standards | CD | | Surround Sound Channel Configuration | 2.0 | | UPC | 077283964916 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | JENSEN limited 90-day warranty | | Wattage | 1.5 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Jensen - **Color:** Red and Black - **Connectivity Technology:** Auxiliary - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 12.7 x 9.1 x 5.8 inches - **Speaker Type:** Stereo ## Images ![JENSEN CD-490 Portable Stereo CD Player with AM/FM Radio and Aux Line-in, Red and Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71klFpS-+OL.jpg) ![JENSEN CD-490 Portable Stereo CD Player with AM/FM Radio and Aux Line-in, Red and Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YAspk87rL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this a quality item or a throw away?** A: This is garbage. It does not play CDs without odd playback problems. If it had actually worked, it would still be overpriced considering the size. This is my third boombox CD player in the last 30 days. I keep sending them back to Amazon because they are all unplayable junk. I don't know if it's related to the Chinese trade war or if China just forgot how to make a CD player. I'm still looking for a quality (by quality I mean anything that will correctly play CDs) replacement for my last portable stereo which was an awesome Craig Electronics CD Boombox with AM/FM Stereo Radio. Amazon stopped carrying them and replaced the item with this Jensen junk. Still looking . . . **Q: Can it be used with ear buds?** A: I purchasedt as a gift for a friend I don't know if it can be used with ear buds I am sorry I could't help you. **Q: Can you use with batteries** A: On the bottom of my stereo it says that it takes 8 "C" batteries. However the description only says 6. **Q: i am looking for a radio that will have good reception and not fade away from station that i am listening to. how is this one?** A: This radio does seem to pick up stations better than my old one. Nice long antenna and seems to tune in really good without fading. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sounding stereo at a great price *by L***3 on May 29, 2021* This little stereo packs a big sound!

The simple, near-absence of digital controls makes it a great plug-and-play device for we of the technologically challenged group. There is no streaming, pairing, programming, or connection to WiFi.

This is for a collector car from the '60's, long before cars came with built in CD players and inputs for the MP3 player. One needs this arrangement if you hate modern AM and FM broadcast radio. Of course, this unit being reviewed will also work fine using batteries but they become expensive over time and add considerable weight to any boom box. It is a very good unit and I am happy with it. It does exactly what I wanted and it sounds very good, lots of volume and very clear. So far it has played every pre-recorded CD and my burned CD-R's without any problems, another thing I was looking for. It works well with earbuds too and has that jack on the front along with the aux input. Radio reception is very good on FM though I rarely use it. The detector works very well in locating and isolating broadcast signals. The built in carrying handle is solid and well-designed for this unit, and the cord is plenty long. Here is the only drawback I have encountered and I mention this in case it might be important to a prospective buyer. It is not a big deal for me. The very good instruction manual tells us how to program the unit to play tracks from a CD to hear only the ones we want to hear. This is easy to do and it works fine. It always seems to play the correct tracks that one has programmed. But the manual states on page 8 instruction #7 bullet 1, the following: "After the programmed tracks have been played the player stops but the program remains in the memory." In the case of the unit I purchased, this is not true. The unit does stop playing after the final programmed track, but that is the end of it. The small red Program light goes off and the memory is erased so one will have to re-program the machine from scratch and that does take time. If one hits the play button, the unit will simply start playing the entire CD from track one. So beware of this if you are one who likes only certain songs on a CD and tends to program your playback. I do not do this so it matters little to me. Besides, you are probably a person who does not buy or even own CD's any longer and uses only MP3 players or streams music exclusively. Nevertheless, I would like to see the manufacturer correct this statement in the manual. Overall, this is a good product for the price, is versatile, and suits my purposes well. I would recommend the unit. ## Frequently Bought Together - JENSEN CD-490 Portable Stereo CD Player with AM/FM Radio and Aux Line-in, Red and Black - Amazon Basics 12-Pack C Cell Alkaline All-Purpose Batteries, 1.5 Volt, 5-Year Shelf Life --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1142813-jensen-cd-490-portable-stereo-cd-player-with-am-fm](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1142813-jensen-cd-490-portable-stereo-cd-player-with-am-fm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
