5.0 out of 5 stars Great Buy!, July 12, 2001

By A Customer

The quality of sound is so good that it seems that the vocalists are in the room with me. The clarity is as good as and better than some more expensive boomboxes of more popular brands. (I already had one of the more expensive ones that makes a fuzzy sound when the radio is on.) It is easy to operate, too.

Has great sound for the price.....easy to use digital tuner.

Off on switch OK, but should have been a push button. Gave it to my teenage daughter and she loves it...

4.0 out of 5 stars Philips CD Radio, June 18, 2002

By A Customer

This boombox is pretty cool for the price I bought it. It was refurbished, so I had to purchase from a seller. It came with all the proper accessories though. After using this boombox for almost 2 weeks, I find that I like it a lot. The only problems I have is that the remote control is absolutely useless unless you're just listening to a CD. You can't control anything else with it until you manually switch to the tuner feature. But that's fine because I didn't buy this product for the remote control. The other thing that slightly bothers me is that the CD player makes a faint squeak between songs when it's on shuffle mode. But all in all, for the price I paid for it..., it's a great product with excellent sound.
