Digital camera reviews of Sony ZSH10CP Heavy Duty CD Radio Boombox
Digital camera Review: Can't Pump Up the Volume
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't purchase this product unless you don't want to hear your tunes. The maximum volume on this product is terrible. Very disappointed in Sony!!!!Digital camera Review: Could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
the tuner is very weak, picks up stations poorly. there's no tone or bass/treble adjustment. it's not very loud and doesn't sound as good as systems 2/3 its price. i use it in a work environment and have volume at "11" just to hear the radio at my workstation. will not rock the house. the brick on the power cord is ridiculous. the box is already heavy, should contain its own transformer.Digital camera Review: Decent sound and durability
Summary: 4 Stars
This radio has been subjected to a severe thunderstorm and is still working! The only complaint on it is the size. It's HUGE!!! Sounds good and is very durable.Digital camera Review: Disappointing radio performance
Summary: 2 Stars
I really expected to like this boombox, but I was disappointed almost immediately, because the radio tuning isn't selective.
In other words, even when you're listening to strong stations, you can hear other stations "bleeding over" into the one you're tuned to. It's like a ghost station in the background. It's not horrible, but it messes with the sound.
For example, when listening to a rock station, I could hear faint talk-radio. On talk-radio, I could hear faint music. On a classics station, commercials from nearby stations were *really* noticable when they came on.
There was actually another problem with my particular sample, which is that it arrived with a faulty display (didn't have all the segments working in the rightmost character/number), but I could have lived with that.
The sound quality might be pretty good for CD's, MP3's and other clean sources, but I bought this specifically for the radio, and that part stinks (both AM and FM were plagued with this problem). There is simply no excuse for poor selectivity in a $140 radio. No speakers sound good playing two radio stations at the same time.
Other disappointments were the lack of a simple, conventional cord (it comes with a transformer), and a significantly cheaper feel than I expected. But the lack of clean, clear radio reception makes this a no-buy recommendation from me.
Digital camera Review: Don't buy
