Sony ZS-X10WHITE AM-FM CD Boombox (White) Review

Sony ZS-X10WHITE AM-FM CD Boombox (White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The sound quality is excellent and far superior to the average cheap boombox. The megabass option fills in the low frequencies and makes the sound more natural (however, if you're looking for a bass monster, this isn't it). FM performance is decent and there is a fully retractible antenna that can be hidden away in the body of the unit. The FM tuner presets can be set by an easy automatic scan, or you can set specific stations manually. The unit is approx. 20"W x 10"D x 6"H, due mostly to the twin passive radiators which provide the bass frequencies. This unit will spend most of its time in the bedroom on a dresser but it is highly portable with an integrated carrying handle. CD performance is excellent, with fast spin-up/spin-down times and quick seek and fast-forward functions. The overall design is clean and futuristic - definitely not your average box - and overall build quality seems first-rate. I am 100% pleased with this purchase!

Sirius S50-EX1 S50 Executive System Review

Sirius S50-EX1 S50 Executive System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Having owned my S50 portable unit since December 2005, I have waited a long time until the S50 Executive Systems arrived at my local electronics store. They had just put them out on display and I was the first to buy one yesterday - not that I've been hanging out at the electronics store waiting this entire time.
I was so starved for the unit, I bought one without hesitation. I didn't even look at the $218.89 price sticker, or give price a second thought.
Today, I got the unit setup at the office and it looks great - very executive. The design and look is as elegant as the portable unit, but that is where the buck stops.
The sound is uninspiring and I was surprised to discover that there is no tone control for the device. You are stuck with the flat output of the speakers.
The volume dial is unresponsive and frustrating. You have to dial it a full rotation to get the sound to go up or down. To turn the volume up to an enjoyable level, I have to rotate the dial 3-4 full turns to the right. When someone comes into my office, or the phone rings, I have to turn the dial back the same amount. It is the only volume dial that I've experienced that requires you to do so much work to hear your music.
I had some difficulty getting a good signal from the Satellite, but it wasn't bad and it works great now.
If I wasn't such a big fan of Sirius Satellite radio, I would have purchased a different unit months ago.
I'm happy that the unit is finally available, but I expected much more.

Belkin F5X007 XM Audio System Review

Belkin F5X007 XM Audio System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the best sounding Boombox that has come out for Sirius or XM. I had this delivered to my work and five people have complement this unit on its looks and quality of sound.
As the reviewer stated below this looks much better sitting in front of you than in pictures. I like all the storage offered, you can hide the remote in the battery compartment, along with the lead for the built in antenna. The front volume and earphone jacks are rubber seals...good stuff, goes alone with the waterproof claim. The built in antenna is also rubber sealed around the base.
The sound output is very good, it has good bass with no distortion, it also has two tweeters that deliver nice highs. I have not had the hiss at low volume some other reviewers experienced, it sounds good with the volume set at 2 or 15.
Yeah it doesn't have a CD player, or even a FM, radio built in but that is not the reason I bought it. I have had XM for 9 months and not listened to regular radio once in 9 months, and maybe only 3 CD's in that time. So...I dont care about these omissions, if I wanted these functions I would have bought a regular Boombox. I have yet not been able to get a signal, and I work in a 100 year old building surrounded by brick and concrete. As a matter of fact the home antenna supplied points at a wall and I get three bars on the XT's signal meter
The remote is basic and missing some of the functions of the Delphi remote, but that is a small trade-off. Over all this is a well built Boombox, sounds better than any of the other satellite boxes out there. So in the end if you have XM you will not be disappointed if you make the purchase.

If you have an Audiovox Xpress or a Delphi Roady XT satellite radio receiver, then the F5X007 XM Audio System is a great addition to your XM radio repertoire. This sharp-looking boombox allows gives you complete freedom to experience XM satellite radio programming in almost any environment. With the molded handle, water-resistant cover, and an attractive ergonomic design, the F5X007 is versatile enough to go from the boat to the kitchen with ease.
An Xpress or Roady XT connects firmly into the Audio Systems docking station. Load the system with eight C-cell batteries and, with the help of the integrated portable antenna, you'll be ready to tune your favorite XM programs anywhere you roam. Of course, you can use the FX5007 indoors, too. You can use the external antenna in place of the integrated antenna. This allows you to position the external antenna in the optimal spot for perfect reception of the XM satellite signal. It comes equipped with an indoor power adapter, and even offers a headphone jack for private listening. Plus, with the included wireless remote you have across-the-room radio control. Indoors or out, the FX5007 features a two-way stereo speaker system that uses separate woofers and tweeters to deliver a clear, forceful sound.

Sirius SUB-X1 Universal Plug 'n' Play Boombox Review

Sirius SUB-X1 Universal Plug 'n' Play Boombox
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using Sirius for almost two years. I recently upgraded to the Sporster 5 from the Sportster 1 (unit went bad, no antenna pick up). I had the home dock and boombox for the Sportster 1.
The boombox is very simple. Basic plug and play. Has two 4" woofer for mid and high-low range, two tweeters, and 1 5 1/5" downward firing woofer for a sub. The port for the sub is the front (front middle screen). Clean sound. Decent low end. Compared to the previous boombox, able to maintain a cleaner sound at higher volumes.
It would have been nice to have some kind of treble/bass controls or an equalizer. Not that I would expect Sirius to do it, but an built in AM/FM radio would be nice; MLB fans would appreciate to listen to AM for their local teams.
The signal pick up, it no worse than using the home docking stations. If you have trouble getting a signal in the house with the home dock or where ever, you'll have the same problem with the box. Unfortunately, no matter what you do, if you don't have a clean site for the antenna, then you'll have signal problems.

Sony ZS-S2iP CD Boombox with iPod Dock, Black Review

Sony ZS-S2iP CD Boombox with iPod Dock, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Almost did not buy this little gem after reading the rather luke-warm reviews about the sound quality and other nit-picking items. Found this on clearance at a local box store and for the price took a flyer that it would serve for picnics and other outdoor music uses. This little box is GREAT for the use I wanted it for! It is NOT a replacement for my two home theater systems sound systems. It DOES NOT have a permanent hearing loss creating bass presence. But, it DOES run anywhere off of "C" cell batteries. It DOES play almost any variety of CD media. It DOES have a decent FM and AM tuning engine, and even more interesting...although it is not indicated anywhere on the box or in the advertising....the thing allows for my new 160 Gig iPod Classic to be plugged right into the front of it (even nicer with the little docking adapter that comes with the iPod) and the Sony remote actually operates the Generation 6.5 iPod perfectly! Operates all the iPod wheel functions, skips songs, THE WORKS! If there has to be a negative, the plastic carrying handle seems a little lightweight, but time will tell how it stands up to use. Nice product!!
