JVC RCEX30 Portable AM / FM / MP3 / CD / Cassette Player with Remote (Black)

Summary: No "boom" in this box
Review: I bought this on a friday and returned it a few days later. Very nice to look and and alot of good features like the MP3 capability, but extremely poor audio makes for a big disappointment. Despite the claims of "Deep, rich bass" made by the manufacturer, the unit has a low volume that maxes out at 29. The extra bass button and jazz, classic, and rock settings make very little difference in the sound. It's definitely meant to be kept indoors inside a quiet room because I seriously doubt it could be heard outdoors, or in a noisy environment. This would be a good deal if JVC had installed better sound capabilities.

Summary: A true piece of junk
Review: I bought this product on a Friday and returned it the following Tuesday. It was one of the biggest disappointments I ever wasted my money on. The size, weight, and cute little round shape are the only good things about it. The quality of the audio was terrible. Very unbalanced, even when you play CD's. And when you turn the volume up higher, you get more static than music. The display was faulty as well; letters missing. I was shocked that a top name like SONY would distribute such a crappy product. Maybe I just got a dud, but I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a boombox with these features in this price range look at the Sony CFD-F10 instead. It's a much better buy for $10 more.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I was looking for a boombox for my son for Christmas, and ran onto this one. It was around the same price as others that didn't have MP3 capabilities, so I gave it a shot. I was very pleased whenever I received it. It is a very impressive looking boombox and sounds great.
