4.0 out of 5 stars Great unit, only one complaint., May 17, 2007

I purchased this as a replacement for an older Sony CD boombox that died a painful death. The design, features and sound quality of the ZS-X10 are all great. My sole complaint is that like all previous Sony CD players/stereos/etc, this one doesn't come with a standard power cord. It comes with a GINORMOUS wall wart.

Having to shlep that big, bulky thing around all but eliminates this unit's ability to perform as a portable device. I understand that by using an external transformer it saves Sony the cost of undergoing testing by the Underwriters Laboratories to get a UL rating, but billing this device as a portable boombox without making that detail clear in any of the sales literature is akin to a bait and switch. I have *never* seen a portable stereo come with a wall wart before.

I went back and forth for about a week trying to decide whether or not to return the unit, but since I plan to use it solely in the bedroom and don't plan to take it out, I ultimately chose to keep it.

If you're looking for a unit that will live in your house and rarely move, this is a great unit. If you're looking for something to take back and forth to work or move on a regular basis, I would suggest that you look at something else instead.

I was surprised at the quality and presence of this small lightweight item, which I bought for the convenience of travel, not expecting such fine sound. I have a large collection of old quality sound equipment, and this is not something I would regard as a COMPROMISE, it is most excellent to my ear. The smooth design is also museum worthy, nothing sticks out to get broken, it is a pleasure, and I recommend it highly.
