Sony Boombox with CD player, IPod dock, AM/FM Radio,
by Adk Girl, 2010-07-22
I purchased this Sony Boombox mainly for the IPod dock so I could listen to my favorite music at home without running around with headphones stuck in my ears. The sound quality is what I expected for any portable device. It is not as good as your home stereo system but the sound is very good for what I will be using the product for. At my age I no longer feel the need to blast music at ear deafening levels so the speakers can handle the volume I like to listen to. The carry handle makes it convenient to move but I would not be swinging the item around since it does not seem as durable as I would have hoped. This also goes for the pop-out tray that holds your IPod. The directions state to not carry the boombox around with the tray open, and I highly recommend this. I could see where you could easily damage the unit with the tray open. I gave the battery life 4 stars but have not utilized this feature yet. It does take 6- type C batteries so that is why it did not receive 5 stars. However, I do like the fact that it at least offers this option in case I take it where there is no electric hook-up. As far as ease of use, I think once you get through all the directions and understand the different features, you will like the unit. I do like the remote which is handy when you want to adjust the volume quickly. Would I buy this unit again? Yes- I have had good luck over the years with Sony products and the fact that I can listen to my IPod and CD's on a portable boombox is great.Sony Boombox with CD Player, AM/FM Radio, and iPod Dock (White)

4.5 Stars -- LOVE IT!,
by T. Witthaus, 2010-06-21
I got this boombox to use while scrapbooking, cooking, or doing work at home. I love that it has CD, radio, AND iPod functions, so I can go with whatever mood I'm in at the moment. The sound is great (I've only used it indoors, but that's what I bought it for) and I also love that it has a remote so I don't have to leave the table to skip around a CD or even to turn it off. I keep it plugged in so I don't know how efficient batteries would be. The only reason I rated it 4.5 stars is that the handle on it seems a bit flimsy to me; the CD/cassette boombox that we already have (10+ years old) has a much sturdier construction. Overall, however, I love it and am thoroughly pleased with my purchase!
I use it with my Iphone!,
by Y. Rosario, 2010-06-12
This is the perfect little portable radio for me and my family. The best part, it takes iphone too which the box saids nothing about but i tried it and it worked! I was also pleasantly suprised to know the remote control actually controls the ipod and my iphone! My radio is all white which looks really cute it has great sound even with all the noise around us at the beach i still heard it on my way back from the restroom, the quality of the sound is nice and clean! works with cord or battery, has am/fm, cd player.....No complaints!
I'm dissappointed!,
by Paulette G. Jackson, 2010-05-26
The ipod dock is very dissappointing! It lasted less than 6 months! I wish I had chosen a different player. Ipods are hard to get on and off the port which caused the port to bend. Now ipods do not fit at all!
