 Not worth the money September 16, 2007

I got this boombox couple of weeks back and it seems to work fine. But I felt that this does not live upto the level of Sony. The sound quality is ok, but not very impressive. There is an option of Mega Bass Boost in this one, which does not seem to work, there is no appreciable change in the sound quality with/without Mega Bass Boost. Overall its not worth the money.
I sincerely feel that there are boomboxes out there with same performance as sony but much much cheaper.

My son has this boom-box, and has left it out in the rain several times. It still works through all he's put it through, including the rain and dropping it.

I was very happy with its perpormance. It records very well from radio &
CD onto cassette. Sound was very good. The only problem I found was identifying the correct button to fast forward ,rewind,play etc. in a dimmly lit room, the markings on the buttons were the same color as the buttons , but outside of that I was a very pleased with the product

High quality sound. Easy to operate. Very portable. Attractive design. This is a very good product, especially at this price. Before I ordered this from Amazon, I went to Target to get a CD player, and they had a less expensive model, also a Sony. I asked the salesperson if he could recommend it, and he said, "It's one of the best we have!" When I got it home and tried a CD on it the sound was so chinzy and crummy I returned it the next day. I then searched Amazon, and seeing all the favorable customer reviews for the CFD-S350 I bought it, and I'm not sorry at all. The sound was so much better. Don't hesitate to buy this one.
 Sony forgot how to make a boombox June 25, 2007

I bought this boombox last year for my daughter, based in part on the customer reviews from Amazon. While it looks attractive in my daughter's room and the remote control is a nice feature, that's about it. The controls on the boombox are cheaply made and are not as well thought out as I would expect from Sony. Programming stations is awkward, and as other people have mentioned, the MegaBass isn't much. Which brings me to the sound of this component. Frankly, it's terrible. The high frequencies sound distorted and are very fatiguing to listen to over time. What low frequencies this unit produces are distorted within the plastic cabinet. The midrange (where most of the musical information exists) is almost non-existant. My daughter loves to listen to Ella Fitzgerald and Jaco Pastorius, but the sound is so disappointing that she doesn't listen very much on this boombox. Ella's voice sounds pinched and distorted and Jazz horns are unbearably bright and distorted. My daughter prefers to listen to music on our 10 year old Magnavox boombox instead. I would recommend that people purchase something besides this unit or at least listen to this unit before making a decision. Maybe I got a bad unit, but it sounds really awful.
