Thankful I ignored the reviews!,

This review is from: Sony ZS-S2iP CD Boombox with iPod Dock, Black (Electronics)
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,...Read more

No Boom in this Boom Box,

The sound quality was akin to a decent radio alarm clock like the Sony Dream Machine. But that's not what I expect out of a boom box, especially a Sony. Whether playing a CD, radio, or iPod, the sound seemed a little tinny and the bass was virtually absent even with Sony's Mega Bass turned on. Too bad. If not for the sound quality, this would have been a very nice device.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sony ZS-S2iP CD Boombox with iPod Dock, Black (Electronics)
I bought this Boombox as Like New off of Amazon and have not been disappointed. It works great and is definitely loud enough for my classroom where I use it. I love finally having speakers for my iPod and also having the CD player and radio is really handy as well. Other people have complained about the speakers and sound but I have no problems with it...But then, I'm not incredibly picky either...But I would recommend this product to anyone as long as you aren't really really picky about the sound (like I said, I think it's fine, but maybe I don't have a good ear for it).
