The MEGATEK portable boombox plays CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs plus MP3 files burned to disc, and adds Bluetooth input and a USB port so a phone or thumb drive runs through the same speakers. It also has an FM tuner and a 3.5mm aux in. Power is either wall AC or C batteries, which is what makes it genuinely portable rather than a desk unit with a cord. The top-loading disc tray sits under a clear lid so you can see the disc spinning, and there is a remote for skipping tracks from across a room. Best fit: kitchens, garages and workshops where a phone speaker is not loud enough, anyone with a CD collection they never digitized, and teens buying physical albums again. The tradeoff is that the speakers are tuned for volume and clarity rather than bass depth.

- Runs on C batteries or AC, so it actually moves between rooms and outside
- Remote lets you skip tracks without walking over to it
Cons
- Speakers are tuned for clarity and volume, so bass is thin compared to a dedicated Bluetooth speaker
Frequently asked questions
Does it play burned CDs and MP3 discs?
Yes. It handles CD, CD-R and CD-RW, including discs burned with MP3 files rather than standard audio tracks.
Can I use it as a plain Bluetooth speaker?
Yes. Switch the source to Bluetooth and pair a phone or tablet. The CD mechanism stays idle.
What batteries does it take and how long do they last?
It runs on C cell batteries or the included AC cord. Battery life depends on volume, but expect several hours of moderate listening rather than all day.
Is there a headphone jack?
Yes, there is a 3.5mm jack that works for headphones, and a separate aux input for feeding in an external source.
