Digital camera reviews of Onkyo CBX-300 CD Receiver System
Digital camera Review: Totally satisfied!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a good-sounding Radio/CD unit without detached speakers
for a small space... and I didn't want to spend $500 for the Bose equivalent.
I am totally satisfied! Awesome sound!
Digital camera Review: Very Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
First of all let me tell you that I am not an audiophile. However, I do appreciate quality. I purchased this product under this premise.
The reason that I sought this product out was to play music in my office at work. Nothing too fancy. I have listened to Onkyo speakers/receivers in the past and have really been a supporter of the Onkyo brand. I have always thought they have been synonomous with quality and performance. Again, I purchased this product under this premise.
I set this radio up with no problem at all. Just plug and play. However, I noticed that it was constructed of a cheap-looking plastic to which I did not pay too much attention. I turned the radio on first to see how it sounded. IT SOUNDED AWFUL! I thought it theoretically could be the reception (I have never had a problem before with any radio). I tried different locations and stations to no avail.
Next, I tried the Ipod. This sounded a little bit better but the sound was not crisp. Also, the bass was almost non-existent. It sounded remarkably average, if that. If I had paid $50 for the this I would not have been disappointed. But I paid $200 for it. So needless to say I am very disappointed.
If you have another $150 to spend get the Polk I Sonic 2. If not, go out and buy another similar radio for about $100 less. You will be just as happy and $100 richer. I would not recommend this at $200. I would pay no more than $100 for this product. I am very disappointed that Onkyo would allow a product like this to have their name attached to such an average to poor product. I really like the Onkyo brand, but will second guess any purchase I make with them again.
Amazon was great and got the product to me very quickly. Thank Amazon!
Digital camera Review: What a Sound ! What a Price!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi all, I just received this EXCELLENT product and can't stop talking about it. I didn't want to spend hundreds more like some of the other popular docks/clock radio, so I gave this one a try . Glad I did, the sound is clear, crisp, and the bass adequate for me. I use this unit for my IPOD and if the bass is not enough I just adjust the equalizer in my Ipod to boost up the bass. I love IPOD dock on the top of the unit and also the remote control for this unit also controls the IPOD! I also love the AM/FM tuner and the CD player as well. It all sounds great! Plus it has a built in handle that makes it very easy to use as a portable devise.
Bottom line, this product compares with the way more expensive units and at this price its a no brainer for me, I LOVE IT!

Digital camera Review: poor tuner
Summary: 2 Stars
The tuner is really poor quality. i.e., it is not as good as the boom box it replaced. Most people may be looking for the ipod dock and cd player, but to hear new music, radio is still the source.
Digital camera Review: superior product
Summary: 5 Stars
Classy cabinet...excellent sound...ease of operation. Am familiar with Onkyo, a quality name.
I currently own 2 Bose CD radios at home but the CBX-300 came to my office at work. To me, the system does a great job and is similar to all the things I like about my Bose. If I had discovered the CBX-300 prior to splurging on the Bose, I would have been just as satisfied with the Onkyo's performance.
