I do not understand how you can give such a product a positive rating. Does it run in (many, large) batteries, these must be purchased again and again and then end up (hopefully) in the waste. If the player then to the wall outlet, an adapter must be purchased separately. The but is so consumed by the children that the junction has a loose connection in a very short time on the device. The volume control is the next, purposely built vulnerability. Did this only once a loose connection, etc., the sound is totally down the drain. Of the two side-mounted mics I do not even want to talk. They are very fast just yet superfluous. The children do not have a long desire inside to "sing" or yelling, because actually they want but hear music. Then the twisted cable tangle constantly and wrap around the cable from the adapter and then you have to constantly pull out of the connector and re-tuck-up of just get these wobbles and then the thing is very fast on the high-tech waste, in which our poor planet will drown soon. Better not to buy, but for a few euros more to purchase a little higher quality, because that saves money and protects the environment.
