“The sound quality is very good. The care staff love it as it's so simple to use: just lift the flap and away it goes, all day long. The only criticism is the volume adjustment controls. I understand why they are designed as they are, but maybe making small buttons instead of holes to insert a pen or similar would make that aspect easier for care staff.”

“This has proved to be a good buy for my step dad who had lost interest in his jazz in recent years. He has mild mixed dementia and music was recommended as a good therapy. He was dubious when I suggested it, but I did it anyway and bought a couple of CD compilations with 160 tracks he absolutely loves it. Easy to use - no problems at all. One improvement would be a large digital display showing artist and track name. Another improvement would be to run the music from a memory stick in the back so that people don’t have to remove the player from the premises in order to change the music on it.”

“I was told about this product by another carer. My mum loves music, however, she was tidying away her CDs and forgetting all about them. This is very visual and easy to use. I often here her music playing when I phone her or pop into see her. This has brought some joy back into her life. Fabulous product.”

“Good product but would have been better if it didn't Need main adapter to play a battery option would make it more flexible I find the adaption cord restricts where it can be used otherwise a good product but perhaps a little expensive”

“The music box is a wonderfully easy way of bringing the joy of music back to elderly people who struggle to master their old music systems or learn the controls of a modern one. The only struggle we had was downloading, not realising that old cds have to be ripped onto the laptop first, but easy peasy after. Mam and the other residents of her care home very pleased with the product.”
