I just love my Sony Psyc Boombox. It offers big sound from a very small package. It's ideal for sitting around the pool, with its handy multi-function remote. All of my neighbors have commented on the design. Some say it looks like a spaceship, I think it looks like a giant ant head. The full, rich sound is enhanced by the mega-bass function and is comparable with other high-end compact systems. With the unit plugged into the wall, this little system will fill a room with hi-fi sound. Running on batteries, however, is a different story. Six 'C' batteries are required if you have no access to an outlet. If you plan on playing CD's while running on batteries, expect to listen to only one disc. The CD's laser, presumably, uses an exponentially larger amount of juice than any other function, radio or cassette. Radio listening will get you the most time from the batteries. If you decide to go rechargeable, get the higher capacity batteries. Overall, I'm completely satisfied.

We checked out several brands and several Sony products before deciding on this one.It is a bit pricey for a kid but compared to what we have had in the past, and what we have looked at, this machine is the best value for its price. In this case, you do get what you pay for. This is a quality product that should last a long time.

We bought this(although in blue) an 8 year B-day for our son. He is now 9 1/2 and we could not be more pleased with this purchase. He loves it!

It is a bit too complex for a child his age to program but was easy for an adult. Once programed, the ease of use of all its functions is easily used by him.

This machine plugs into the wall as well as has a battery backup (although it is 6 C size batteries). It is usually plugged in when inside but the battery option has been so handy when we have had severe weather and lost power.

Also, great to take with you as it's size and built in handle makes it easy for transport-be it on a camping trip or in the fort out back.

The headphones jack is great as well. Kids can listen to their tunes without flooding the house! And more than one child can listen to their own music without turning up the sound to drown out each other.

The only drawbacks I found for this machine are not big issues but thought should be mentioned:

(1) that it does take up a bit of room on the night stand but then my son enjoys having it on the floor instead anyway!

(2) The LCD screen flashes in 4 different colors. You can set it to be stationary on one color (which I prefer) but my son likes it blinking. It seems the blinking would be disrupting to a good, restful nights sleep so he has to reset the blinking/non-blinking every night(which is just one more thing to do at bedtime) Not a major thing, but something I'd rather not have.

We are getting this machine for 2 other children in the house this year. That is how much we like it.

I love this machine and haven't had any problem with it (I purchased it about 6 months ago). The sound and the design are great too! I use it regularly and everything works perfect on it. The only thing I didn't like was that when I program the radio stations and afterwords it gets removed and pluged in somewhere else the stations are gone. I can start it all over again but I think this is normal. This is how it works with every radio.

I purchsed this on Oct 18 , and I loved this Boombox, the design and sound quality is excellent for a small budget.

The Only thing Which I see as a Drawback is it doesn't play Mp3 Cd's.

Overal I will suggest this as a good selection.

I have owned about six of this sort of thing over the years, and this is the best by far. It has all the features I wanted is very user friendly, and has very good sound. It's a teensy bit big, but otherwise is just wonderful.

I bought this product on a Friday and returned it the following Tuesday. It was one of the biggest disappointments I ever wasted my money on. The size, weight, and cute little round shape are the only good things about it. The quality of the audio was terrible. Very unbalanced, even when you play CD's. And when you turn the volume up higher, you get more static than music. The display was faulty as well; letters missing. I was shocked that a top name like SONY would distribute such a crappy product. Maybe I just got a dud, but I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a boombox with these features in this price range look at the Sony CFD-F10 instead. It's a much better buy for $10 more.

The bummer with this player is a little rubber drive belt, very very thin, which busts after minimal use. I had to call Sony to get a replacement belt, and disassembling the player is not easy. For all the fine technology that went into this product, its a shame to have it wasted by a flimsy belt.

My wife & I really like this little machine. Very portable, easy to use, and the sound is big enough to fill our dance studio (size of a small gymnasium). Good value for the price.

This item was ordered for me as a birthday gift in June...it is now September and I still have not received it. So despite the "Ships in 1-2 days" note on there, beware that it will most likely be longer. I think Amazon said it would ship by September 9th. Still a very long time to wait.
