The "rumours" are true: Crosley’s Fleetwood CD Player with FM Radio is here, and it’s not a mirage! Inspired by 1970s rock music, we blended rich wood grain with brushed aluminum to create a modern silhouette that would look just as good on a dorm room nightstand as an office desk. This compact marvel features built-in stereo speakers with sleek aluminum grills. Pop in a CD (because we know you still have a collection), tune into the FM radio, or go your own way and stream digital music via Bluetooth. Tweak the sound to your liking with the built-in equalizer and play on. It also has a digital clock, sleep mode, programmable channels, and a remote control. Stop messing around and pick up this songbird today!

GREAT UNIT. Good substitution for the Bose CD System that is "no longer available on the market." Many people have a zillion CDs that need a quality player like this one. Good quality sound and looks good. Only one minor problem: Initially, I could not setup the clock immediately. Setting the minute-hand would not work initially, but after unit warmed up after an hour with a CD playing, clock setting began to work.

I was hoping for plug and play simplicity, but I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to adjust things manually and found it to be a huge pain. I was expecting really good quality sound and I’m not sure if that’s how I would describe it I may get used to it and love it but so far out of the box it’s not what I hoped for. It’s frustrating enough that if I can’t figure it out quickly, I will return it. I hate remote controls and don’t really want one, but it seems to be the only way to get this thing to work easily and that’s not easy.

Sound is great, compact design doesn’t take up much space.

Recently purchased this Crosley Fleetwood tabletop clock radio CD player to replace an ancient Cambridge Soundworks radio that had failed. There's a lot to like here but first be aware that this unit has decent sound but it does not have the sound quality (bass response, ability to individually tweak the bass and treble EQ) of the Cambridge or the similar Bose Wave or Tivoli units. But the Cambridge and Bose are no longer available new (and costs more used) and the equivalent Tivoli radio equivalent costs $650. Bottom line on the sound, it is good for a tabletop radio but is not for discerning audiophiles.Now the good. First, this is an attractive unit, with throwback styling. Most functions are available via dedicated buttons on the front of the unit; a few more are available via a very nice remote. There are multiple preset EQs available (Flat-Pop-Classical-Jazz-Rock); I've found I like the Pop setting the best. There is a bass boost, a feature not available on the competition. However it is a minor boost, adding just a little bit of "kick" to the low end. The unit puts out enough of sound volume to fill a small to mid-sized room. The CD works fine and the tray mechanism is smooth. The clear display has several different brightness settings, selectable both on the unit and on the remote. Radio reception (FM only) with the included antenna is good, better than my old Cambridge unit. In addition, unlike the competition, the supplied antenna is detachable and you can easily attach an external antenna for even better reception. The Aux input, on the back, is actually 2 RCA jacks (most units use a single 1/8" stereo jack) and an adapter for a 1/8" jack is included. This provides greater flexibility, say to attach an external record player (a small preamp may be required). The Bluetooth feature works well; I easily paired the unit with my iPhone. Note that there is no headphone jack.In summary, this is a fine choice for a well-featured clock radio CD player with Bluetooth. Just do not expect true audiophile sound.

I am extremely disappointed with this item. I have had it for only 3 months. The back light for the clock radio disappeared one day. The next day, the whole system would not function. I now find out that I have no warranty with Crosley or Amazon. Do not purchase anything like this!!

This radio/CD player does not work! My husband had a very difficult time setting the clock, then there was no way to know if it was AM or PM, so it was impossible to use the alarm. Also, it was supposed to let us choose between CD, radio or buzzer for the alarm. but it would only set on buzzer. Then we thought that we could at least use the CD player. WRONG! The tray refused to come out. We wasted over $100 dollars. We have decided that we will never again buy any electronic equipment from Amazon.

The sound is great, a nice simple device. - only have TWO issues with is:1 - the remote is pretty bad, and it cheapens the overall product. Unfortunately, you have to use it for certain functions (ie. Setting the clock)2 - there's no battery backup. So if you lose power, you have to re-program the clock and all your radio presets. Poor.Other than that, all good.

The sound quality is great. Actually surprised because it isn't a full stereo system with separate speakers. The look is exactly as pictured. Very good quality. I would buy again.

I really like this stereo system so far. It sounds great, and the design is beautiful. I really like the full range speakers, and it has plenty of power for what I need. The CD tray is nice, and the whole unit is clean and simple in its design. You do have to turn up the volume quite a bit for CD playback. I find that 20-24 is a good playing volume for general listening, and 8-10 is an equivalent volume on FM. I like the classical setting on the equalizer, it seems to give the best fidelity and clarity. The bass button adds just enough bass to make the radio sound warm, and enhances the mid ranges nicely. Nice crisp treble and highs with female vocals, strings, and percussion. Mid range and low tones sound good with male vocals, saxophone, or resonant instruments.This unit comes with a wire antenna and the reception with it is okay. I bought an attachable telescoping antenna, which I have not tried yet. I live 60 miles away from most radio stations, and they come in quite clearly, even with the wire antenna. Some were a little bit fuzzy, but moving the little wire around helps. My only critique, is that Crosley should have just gone ahead and provided a built in telescoping antenna, but you do have the option of adding your own. The antenna port is s slide on style of port, with a pin to socket type of connection and it is not threaded. It is snug though.The CD tray is cleanly integrated into the face of the unit, so should minimize dust issues. The display is digital, and the remote control works nicely. Radio stations come in with programming displays along with the frequency you are tuned to. It will display name of programming, talk show hosts, song titles, etc. CD shows the track numbers, time, etc. You can shuffle play CDs, and you can preset up to 30 stations either using the remote, or by hand by manually pushing buttons on the front of the unit. I played a CD that was compiled on my older Mac in an early version of iTunes, and it played just fine. The manual implies that MP# format may not work, but AIFF formatted discs burned on a computer work fine. I haven't tried any blue tooth features yet, so can't give an opinion on that. I also have not programmed the clock radio and alarm functions yet. This is an excellent unit and a good value for the money. I am purchasing an additional 3 year warantee plan just in case. I would recommend this Crosley stereo for anyone who wants a good sounding fm stereo with CD player, and good high fidelity speakers. It's nicely made, solidly built, beautiful in design, and sounds great.
