Quite frankly, the Comet is one of the most innovative products Crosley has ever developed. Don’t let its diminutive size fool you. Once you hear it, you’ll think that you are listening to one of those $500 radios – and if that’s the case, save $400 and “Catch the Comet!” This little receiver was designed entirely around the speaker enclosure and sound chamber. Even its shape is no accident. Inspired by one of Powell Crosley's original designs from the 1940’s, the unique curve of the Comet functions as a “funnel” to improve bass response. If radio isn’t your thing, take advantage of our portable audio-ready feature. Take your favorite MP3 player, CD player, or satellite radio and “hook it up” with the included connection kit. Featuring a 3” full-range studio quality driver and discrete amplification system, you will be amazed again and again by the clarity of your favorite tunes or talk.
