Not the highest fidelity in the world but it is great for around the house, backyard BBQ-ing, working in the yard, the beach. I really like this boombox. I mainly use it to listen to XM radio but I like the fact that I can play a CD (rarely) or listen to AM/FM radio (occasionally).
None of the problems noted in the other reviews other than the instruction manual not being correct/clear. It will drain the batteries all the way down, a real problem if rechargables are used. We have owned this system for several years now. Only item that bugs me is that the unit always remains in the standby mode, a problem if the batteries are used then not removed when done. Other than that, wouldn't leave home without it. Very good sound for it's size. Lots of features.
My only complaint is that the radio is difficult to remove from the slot and takes some effort. I bought this item about a month ago. I actually have two - one for work and one for home. I liked this enough that we replaced our old (CD quit working) shelf stereo system with this. I have been very pleased with it. It has good sound and I have not experienced the noise that some other reviewers have written about.
Five stars for the quality and the low price. The antenna works very well. No, it's not loud, but the sound is clean and clear.
The price was great and I can use it in my home. So now I have XM in the car, any room in the house, on a trip or on my stereo. This little boombox does just fine.
This is a danged good boombox. JB Nothing like a little jazz in the background on a Sunday morning or listening to a ball game in the evenings.
I can also hook this up to my "serious" stereo via the auxilliary input with a Y-connection adapter.
When using cord, recommend you remove the batteries, or at least open the compartment (to disconnect them), otherwise will run off battery power (even if plugged into house current).Comes with a remote, which I secured on top of one of the speakers with Velcro, this way it won't get lost. Very friendly. GREAT ALL IN ONE: XM Radio(I have the Skyfi2), MP3,CD,AM/FM Radio. The cord/power source I have in a Crown Royal bag attached to the handle (so all are together).Mfg was easy to reach, answered all my questions,and helped me overcome my user error. Has a toll free# 877 463-3574. Compact with plenty of electrical & antenna cording. Runs off batteries as well (CD & XM uses them fast).
