Sharp GX-BT9X Large Portable Bluetooth BoomBox Speaker,Matte Black

This speaker box has a lot of features that are up-to-date options that many others do not. In fact, I could not find any other speaker box that does everything this one does. Specifically-1) Sound quality- rich and full with plenty of high end, and certainly plenty of low end (more than some people are looking for), with mid-range perhaps a bit understated. Unless you are entertaining a big party outdoors or using for some other big event, you'll have more than you need sound-wise. Also, the unit has an equalizer which can be set to several generic settings, such as flat, rock, vocal, salsa, reggae, & hip-hop. up and down tuner presets, X-bass (which is overkill really)2) Weight and size- it's big and heavy, especially loaded with 10 (yes, TEN) D-cell batteries. So you won't be carrying this around much, although it does have sturdy handles on both ends. Most people will plant this somewhere in the house, or maybe on the deck sometimes, and plug in the AC for regular use.3) Inputs- This is where it gets interesting. You have good Bluetooth connectivity, and you can easily pair it with your phone or an MP3 player (that has bluetooth capabilities). It has an "audio in" port, which you can use to connect any player that does not have bluetooth capabilities. Most importantly for me, it also has a USB port, which is invaluable. The port can be used to play from a flash drive directly, with both repeat and random options available, and can access a drive with over 65,000 song on it. I have a 125 gb drive I plug in, and that's most of my music catalog. It displays what is being played against a blue background. The unit also comes with a tuner, which you can program how you like. Personally I like to play Pandora from my phone. Also has microphone and guitar inputs on the back.4) Power supply- AC cord provided of course, but the USB port can also be used to charge your phone or your MP3 player, even when you're using D-cell batteries! The batteries last a long time, many hours of constant use, with some variance depending on battery quality, volume, use of blue flashing woofer strobes (turn 'em off), and whatever else you may have plugged in to charge up. I'm going to be on an island for a week, and I plan to have music all the time, either with the box, which also has a headphone jack, or with my charged up MP3 player, or my phone, in any combination that suits my surroundings. I'll never have to look for an AC socket! For charging other gadgets using battery power, be aware of any power saving mode that may be on. Unplug AC when using batteries. Unit has no rechargeable battery, and you cannot use rechargeable batteries.5) Remote control- Comes with a very well designed, easy to use remote, which allows you to control play/pause/stop for both Bluetooth and USB, audio input, pairing button, display options, USB folder options, program memory, navigation circle, dimmer for lighting, Audio settings, Echo effect, volume and mute buttons.There is no CD or tape player included in this unit (so what?).I hope this is helpful for people who are looking for specific features.

I use this in the garage with my iPhone's Pandora via Bluetooth and let me tell you, this thing jams! You can choose to select the "loudness-bass" button for those tracks that absolutely need it, but without it it sounds fantastic as well. It may require a tad more volume without, but depending on the track, the sound is full and true! Although it's a coaxial speaker on each side up front, it sounds smooth like a silk tweeter would, as compared to metal alternatives that I have determined are not for me and the music I tend to listen to! (i.e.- Allman Bros, Stones, Radiators, GD, DM, you get the idea!) It has the 4+ inch bass speakers on each side behind the handles and they light up with a blue light shimmering to the beat. I didn't think I'd like that option at first, but it's grown on me! It will also store up to 40 (?) FM Only Radio Stations and you can choose for it to do so automatically or manually. Each station I identified in the LCD and the remote has buttons to scroll up or down on the preset stations. I haven't hooked it up yet, but it even has both a 3.5m stereo mini plug for portable music players as well as a Banana Plug-in for guitar! I consider myself a mid range audiophile as I outfit my cars with speakers that cost many times more than the cost of this device and all I can say with a smile on my face "this Box delivers!"

Even at low volume the bass is awesome.Bluetooth works fine.Radio reception is instead of being static it mutes off and on or does not tune in at all which is why four out of five stars

I did a lot of research on YouTube with comparison to other boomboxs. In one comparison this boombox out preformed (Bose speekers). The Deep bass is excellent. The boombox its self is huge. The music sounds excellent in my home. I'm also using it as a sound bar for my T.V. running a red and white audio jack straight from the Direct t.v Box, with a 3.5 mm tipRunning into the auxiliary hole in the back of the boombox. Turning the t.v all the way down and just using the boombox. Im going to have to get a usb to usb cord. To run the sound through my xbox which I have not done yet. I had the JVC kaboom, this box is better. The price is good as it gets for this thumpn bass sound. You won't get those really high tweeters, but the mid range is very good.Th e Bluetooth work great while listening to Pandora. UPDATED.I'VE hooked up my xbox to the auxiliary, best sound bar you could buy. Playing movies sounds like you're in the theatre. My money well spent.

I used it for a week at work and never had the volume over about 27 and now the speakers are blown already. Sounded pretty good for the 1st week though

I've had this thing for a couple yrs and as a boom box it is ok. fairly good sound quality and gets loud enough in most settings. The remote is weak and limited to maybe 30-40 ft.. I recently decided to try the "audio in" since my acoustic guitar amp crapped out. DO NOT buy this if you plan to use this as a guitar/vocal (mic) amp, it has an annoying condition where it MUTES the inputs when there is no sound and UNMUTES when you pick/strum the guitar or sing. the issue is there is a DELAY when it unmutes so you lose 1/2 second of music/singing! This is the way it is designed (STUPID) and no way to defeat it. This makes the "audio input" totally worthless. Otherwise, it is heavy bulky but ok as a boom box

I waited 2 months for this box when I ordered it from Bestbuy. Never got it. I got it in a few day with Amazon. I saved a few $ getting the used box.Awsome sound! You gotta like bass. This box has bass! The high's are crisp. This box is true stereo speaker. Not a loud mono speaker with no bass yall keep buying.TRUE STEREO TWO CHANNELS LEFT AND RIGHT!These are hard to find. If you see it, get it!I heard some woofer distortion on a few song and determined I may have bad speakers. Amazon sent a replacement. Im not hearing the woofer distortion now. Thanks Amazon.
