Summary: Excellant Bday Present for daughter
Review: I must say - I was a bit nervous about buying something online this big. No problems tho! But you can imagine my surprise. This unit is fantastic. The sound is clear, nice balence, tapes well from cd or radio. The digital tuning is definately a plus. The remote, is larger, but you can control everything but the tape player. I was very impressed on the quick shipping just in time to wrap it up, for my daughters bday present. Now... to shop for a cd case!

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I purchased this unit after reading the other reviews, but still had a surprise coming! The unit is better than I had anticipated. The look is great, and the speaker quality is as good as units costing a lot more. I wanted a good radio - for listening to Public Radio, and also the sound quality to listen to my classical CDs. The small remote is more than adequate. I would recommend this minisystem to anyone - and it fits on a shelf very neatly!!

Summary: Good value for the price
Review: I'm writing from SouthAmerica and have some comments about: Good product. Very Low price. Great value. Don't expect a high-end product but for the price you get a little all-in-one that you can keep close to you if you don't have enough room at home or office. Good design, DBBS System, CD player, AM/FM radio tuner, remote control, Digital Tuner and well designed speakers. So, for all SouthAmerican buyers I strongly recommend to buy this pretty all-in-one.

Summary: You get what you pay for
Review: In all honesty, I bought this because it was the cheapest CD/tape/tuner combo on Amazon at the time I got it. This is probably the reason you're looking at it, too. It's not a bad system, but don't expect the features that a nicer (and more expensive) system offers. For example, the remote control isn't all that great--it doesn't have numbers on it, only a few poorly designed buttons, so you can't quickly switch between presets--you can just scroll through them. Also, you can't use the remote to switch between functions (tuner, CD, tape)--you have to manually do that on the unit itself. And the remote doesn't work for the tape decks. Also, the unit has no audio-in ports, so you can't run your computer through it or tape something off of anything else. I expected a little more.

Summary: Koss Portable CD System with Digital Tuner
Review: It's great, the best thing I ever bought. I got it as a mothers day gift and it is amazing. Great sound and features, I love the remote. I would pay more money for it because it is comparable. One downfall. The lenth of the speaker wires is small, like 4 feet. I wanted my speakers farther apart (on the top of a book case) so I went out and bought 30 feet of speaker wire for $3.50. It was the best bucks I ever invested for the entire package.

If you want a good system, this is your best bet!
