Sharp 200 Watt iPod® Docking Station - Black/Silver (CDDH790N) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Sharp CD-DH899N has ok functionality but the speakers that come with it are terrible. They had high-end distortion even at low-moderate volume. This was the case with all the functions - CD, radio, tape, line-in and iPod. Thank goodness the speakers are not hard-wired in! I swapped them out with various other old speakers, and my best set was 15-year old Sony speakers with good speaker wire, which were 8 Ohm and had plenty of power handling. (The original speakers were 4 Ohm with thin wires.) That cleared up the distortion, although I have not tried cranking it yet. Why did Sharp design speakers that can't handle the signal??? The stereo itself works as advertised. Note that the cassette deck does not have a record function, only play. Also, there are no audio inputs to the stereo except a line-in. No audio outputs either, only the speakers. The CD tray is very flimsy, the tape deck is a little clunky, I kinda wish an extended warranty was available. I got this new on e-bay for a great prices, so it's an ok unit for a bedroom for the price, but do not buy this unless you have some good speakers to swap out!

Sharp Electronics XLDH229N 100W Micro System with Docking Slot for iPod (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Micro Sytem to listen to my iPod in my bedroom. After it came, I opened the box and was amazed to find a remote -- the description didn't mention one. I LOVE the remote -- It has lots of buttons, but it's pretty intuitive after you begin to use it. I get REALLY bad radio reception in my hi-rise, so I almost never listen to the radio. I connected the two antennas that come with the unit last evening, and was amazed at the number of stations, and quality of reception that this machine gets!
It plays CDs and MP3 discs (I'm going to make a DVD of MP3s and see if it plays. Haven't tried this.) It has a radio (AM/FM), and it plays my iPod. The remote can be used to control the iPod as well. It sounds WONDERFUL!!! I love it that it has a mega bass feature. And did I mention that it SOUNDS WONDERFUL!! I'm delighted with the sound and the quality of this machine.
It also plays from the USB port. I was thinking that this is what I'll use, but I have a 60 gig iPod Classic, and I'm loving the music from the iPod. And if I get tired of it, I'll just change the order or the playlist.
My neighbor has been whooping it up and disturbing me. I loaded my iPod with some wonderful choices for sleeping -- my favorite is gongs and bells, and I keep it going all night. I don't hear the noises now. I love it that the iPod shuts off and the Micro System shuts down to stand-by after the playlist is finished.
I think the value for the price is just amazing.

RCA CD Micro System with Dock for iPhone/iPod - Black (RS2127IH) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got this today at a brick and mortar store. Paid less than $100 and think it is a great deal. CD, ipod, radio player. Three pieces- main body, two in-line speakers (lines are detachable). Easy to understand how to use even before I found the manual online. The remote control was gone from mine so can't comment on that. There are 20 programmable pre-sets for radio stations. The only thing I don't like is that you can only go up using the memory settings. The button says MEM UP; there is no MEM DOWN. :( -- I've got the volume at less than 5 and it's still almost too loud. Nice sound for our family room and kitchen. Good enough for this mom of 3.
Hope that helps!

JVC UX-PL5 CD Micro Component System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had a JVC boombox once, and it was the best sounding radio/cassette boombox I ever had. Therefore, I wanted another JVC product. I was disappointed that it wasn't as great-sounding as I had anticipated. However, it plays nicely. In retrospect, I would have bought the other JVC compact stereo with 100 watts of power. I didn't see the other one until I had already ordered this one. If you're reading this, I would recommend going with the 100-watt JVC instead of this one, which is only 70 watts. They're about the same price. I also just bought a Sony boombox, and it sounds much better than this JVC stereo.

Sony MHC-EC99i Mini Hi-Fi Shelf System with Integrated iPod Dock 530W Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After I came home from 5 months in Australia to find my Aiwa stereo not working I knew it was time to buy new audio equipment for my room. I like the idea of a shelf system so I began looking for one that was 10 years newer and fit my preferences. I went the stereo route because I wanted a radio and CD player and ultimately a tape deck, although this unit does not have one. I had read several reviews of this model and went into the store (BJ's Wholesale Club of all places) to test it out. Bringing my iPod, I was thoroughly impressed. I went back the next day and purchased this bad boy.
The stereo comes in a huge box but is managable. I was surprised to find the unit overall is very light-weight and set up is easy. Once I finally had it set up, I was immediately impressed with the stellar sound. This thing is LOUD. You get crisp highs, balanced mids, and thumping lows thanks to the additional subwoofer it comes with. I don't think I've heard an iPod sound as good as it does with this unit. As I have read previously, the speaker cords are a bit short. The satellite speakers are fine, but how is a subwoofer expected to be placed on the floor as I want it with such relatively short cords? I'm planning to get some additional cord so I can place the speakers where I want.
I'm very happy with this system and being a bit picky about my audio sound has proven to help me find a great stereo. All kinds of music sound great, from thumping hip hop to reggae to accoustic rock.
This thing is also pretty sleek looking, being a metallic black, modern looking, and light blue accents in the speakers.
Why not a 5?
-Short cord length
-Small display which is hard to see from far away
-No custom EQ, although "rock" mode sounds best
-No tape deck. I admit tapes are out-dated but it would be nice to have the capability to play them
Overall VERY happy with my purchase and definitely recommend this system to and audiophile who wants to pack some punch into his/her audio system.

JVC MX-GT80 GigaTube 3-CD Compact Stereo System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I saw this system in the store, I just had to get it, especially after I heard the bass on this thing. The sound is just ideal for me, being a hip-hop fan. Just be sure to stay away from windows when you play cds with alot of bass- you could be dodging shattered glass!!! I mean this system even wakes up my nieghbors when the volume turned down. I even used the giga-tube to blow dry my hair the other day!! The features on the MXGT-80 are quite good, but I think they could of came up with more a variety of different sounds instead of just D. Club, Classical, and Stadium. Besides that the system is all I wanted in a stereo. I love that it also has the cd optical outlet for cd recorders. Now I can finally put my recorder to good use! I recommend this to anyone who wants to own a REAL boom box.

Rock the house! This high-powered system features JVC's innovative GigaTube design has top-mounted ducts, which connect to two large acoustic chambers. It's all part of the Advanced Labyrinth Aero Port System, and what it gives you is incredibly big bass! JVC's triple-tray design gives each CD its own tray, so you can get to the disc you want right away. Don't forget the optical digital output - great for recording your favorite tunes to an external CD or MD recorder. Enjoy CD-to-tape or tape-to-tape dubbing with the dual auto-reverse cassette deck, or easy access to your favorite radio stations using the AM/FM tuner presets.

Sharp 350 Watt iPod® Docking Station with Subwoofer - Black/Silver (CDSW440N) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great product. Both of my kids have similar systems in their rooms. The lightup speakers and sub woofer are great. The system is very easy to setup. The sound quality is really good and the amount of heart-pounding BASS that these systems can generate is surprising. The I-pod cradle works great and the controls are fully integrated. The remote control is a nice bonus. Overall this is a great system. There are extra inputs for game ports etc. My son has his wired into the TV / Game system as well. My kids both say that they have the coolest stereo systems out there. My son has had his for several years with no problems. My daughter begged to get a stereo just like her brother's for her birthday. Besides their Ipods, and the Playstation / Wii I don't think that there are many other things in the house that both teenage kids like so well.
