The Panasonic PowerBlaster RX-ES25 is a great boombox. It plays very loud and does not distort the music even at full volume like many boomboxes can. The Sound Virtulizer gives the music 3D sound, and the preset equalizer settings even add more character to music. The Equalizer has 4 settinngs. XBS (adds punch to rock), Clear (clarifies higher sounds), Soft (for background music), and Vocal (adds gloss to vocals). The CD player is a slide out drawer type as opposed to the top loading found on most boomboxes. The CD Player has all the features (Random, Repeat, 36 Track Program).The tape player sounds great too. The tape player is full logic controls. What's cool about the tape deck is has a motorized ejecting system at the touch of a buttton. The cassette has different modes for recording. The only thing I wish it the cassette deck had is auto reverse. The Radio is all digital and gets many stations with its long antenna. You can preset 12AM and 12FM Stations and scroll through them buy using the Jog-Dial. The unit comes with a remote control that controls every funtion including cassette. If you want to use batteries the unit takes 8D for the main power, 4AA for the memory back-up (Clock, CD player and preset stations ect.). The manual says the memory batteries will last about a year. You also need 2AA batteries for the remote. I bought the 8D rechargeable alkaline batteries. I may have to exhange my unit because the jog-dial seems to stick in certian spots I am going to call Panasonic to see if this is normal. If you want a boombox that goes really loud and has great sound quality this could be the one for you.

Panasonic does it again. I experimented with many brands, but it seems that I can always count on Panasonic to give me some of the best features, sound, and quality for a reasonable price. The look and feel of the display and controls seemed as if they belonged on a set that cost ... more. One exception - no batteries included with the remote control?! Sound is very good, operation is smart, and a lot of features for the price. For a boombox, I was also amazed at how loud I could go before distortion. Again, for the price its hard to beat. It's not the quality of a mini-component system but the price isn't as high either. This will accompany my 1982 Panasonic boombox that still sounds & works great, but does not have a CD player.

This is an awesome machine. I have owned several "boom boxes" but this by far is the best. Easy to use, pleasing to the eye, and great sound both low and high end. Read the review by phurlene for more...everything he said is totally true. My jog dial works fine by the way...

I got this a couple of days ago, i have bought over 23 boomboxes in the past 3 years and returned most of them (they did not meet my expectations in quality) this boombox has great sound, the sound is really lifelike, the bass is a little weak though at higher volumes, but overall i would recommend this product as a boombox for your kitchen, dining room, or maybe for a backyard barb-q, but if you want great BIG sound buy a mini system!...

I am very pleased with the purchase of this boombox. It is very easy to use and the sound quality is geat. I would recommend this boombox for anyone interested in buying a quality boombox at an affordable price. I have only owned it for one week, therefore, I can not comment on the durability of the equipment.

I've only owned this machine for four days and I'm absolutely blown away by it. The alignment of the speakers really does create a nice 3D sound effect even when listening to AM radio. There are several different equalization presets that bring out different sound qualities depending on what you're listening to. I am very impressed with the way the controlls are laid out on the machine. They are separated into groups so it's easy to find what you're looking for. This is especially useful for me because I am totally blind and it is easy to remember the functions of each controll because of how they are arranged. Where this machine really stands out though is in it's sheer power. I thought the "Power blaster" thing sounded a little corny, but not after hearing it. This machine packs plenty of power and I don't really agree with the reviewer who said you lose bass as the volume goes up. Granted, a mini system would deliver more bass, but this boombox does a nice job in bringing out eh bass and it doesn't drop off when the volume goes up and believe me, the volume goes up! In short, BUY ONE! You'll love it. Oh, and my jog dial works fine also.

After reading the glowing reviews that several had sent in in 2000, I just had to get this model and see for myself if it was as good as it's prebillings purported.

After putting my own new unit through it's paces, I'm here to report, it's not as good as stated, it's BETTER!!

Great Looks and Great Sound at a Great Price!! I would recommend it to anyone.

This has got to be one of the best cd boomboxes that I have ever had the pleasure own or hear. It is quality all the way. Panasonic really out did themselves on this one! I can't understand why they discontinued this model as it was a very well rated and received boombox. I love the design and especially the sound. It is not over bassy and yet it packs a punch! I have had a newer Sony model and took it back to the store because the bass sounded artificial and vibrated and made a tinny sound which was absolutely horrible. Panasonic is definitely better quality than Sony has been lately. Buy this one and you won't be dissappointed. I bought mine used off eBay and it was worth every penny.

This panasonic boombox is wicked,haha. I love the futuristic look. The sound quality is good, I can bump my rap or r&b and the speakers can pump that bass. It's fairly easy to operate as well. The radio stations come in clear and you know they had to include a remote right? Yup, I don't have to get my lazy a$$ up to change radio stations or perform other functions if I don't want to. The sound virtualizer makes a song sound spacey, real raw. Now I know I said stick to Sony with portable audio but Panasonic is trying to come up. This boombox is great for 3 main reasions: One - It's size makes it easy to fit in any room or set up, it fits just fine on top of my small bookshelf. Two - The style can't be beat. The whole futuristic layout worked good. And Three - Sound quality is bumping. It can hang with some of the bigger and more expensive audio sets. That's my two cents on this boombox, I'm out.

Great Price!!! Nice crisp, clear sound and decent bass power!!! Space Age design. I got the RXES27 so i guess this an upgraded version. Buy it and you won't regret it.
