Digital camera reviews of Sony ZSH10CP Heavy Duty CD Radio Boombox
Digital camera Review: Don't buy
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this boombox because I am a dance instructor and I wanted a portable boombox, with some decent bass, that would survive being used heavily, banged around, and left in my trunk in the heat, etc. I had a JVC RV B55 for over 10 years which I loved. Unfortunately, after being dropped several times, the cassette deck and then the CD player eventually stopped working. I initially tried the JVC Kaboom which has terrific sound and bass, but it was so heavy it was giving me neck pains carrying it in and out of my classes. So then I tried the Sony ZE-H10CP because it sounded OK (not as good as the Kaboom) but it was lighter and easier to carry.
I quickly discovered this Sony is NOT HEAVY DUTY!!! After about a month of use it stopped working reliably. I would try to start class and it wouldn't turn on!*?! I will never buy another Sony product, since I also had a Sony camera that stopped working as soon as the warranty expired.
I am back to using my old JVC RV B55 with my Ipod plugged into the Aux jack. If anyone stills has any of these hanging around in storage I want it!
Digital camera Review: Don't buy this radio
Summary: 1 Stars
I looked under waterproof radios when I did my search and this was recommended. It was left outside for a couple of hours in the rain, under cover of getting hit directly by the rain, and it stopped working. It was only 6 mo old and used maybe 20 times. This is the second Sony product, the other being a digital camera, that died after careful use in under a year. Sony was of no help in trying to resolve either product. They get around their warranty by blaming the consumer. I'm done with Sony products.Digital camera Review: Exactly what I was looking for.
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was exactly what I was looking for out on the jobsite. I was getting real tired of the local radio fare while at work, the seemingly endless repetition of their playlists made me yearn for more. Just couldn't make myself pay a monthly fee for satellite radio. I can throw on a cd full of mp3's and listen for hours and hours without hearing the same old stuff and not have to change the disk.
A little bit larger than the DeWalt jobsite radio, but all in all I am very happy that I bought this unit!

Summary: 5 Stars
I searched high and low for a product like this and seriously, this was the only one that had it all ... plays regular and mp3 CDs, AM/FM radio, line-in for any external player from laptops to mp3 players, no useless cassette player to get in the way and most importantly, it has GREAT sound; plenty of volume and bass response. Yes, it's heavy duty. It is rugged enough to take along to the work site, keep in the garage, take camping, you name it; it has sealed compartments and speaker guards to protect from dust or hits; it has a sturdy handle built into a protective frame; it has a small enough footprint to sit on most standard shelves ... also, it has a smarter, simpler look that I appreciate; it doesn't look like some sci-fi robot or a work of abstract art ... it is surprisingly light since the power supply is contained with the AC adapter (some might find it a negative to have to lug around a heavier, bulky AC adapter, but it depends on your perspective). The unit also contains a storage compartment for line-in cords, head phones or mp3 players. Like I said, it is hard to find any other product that completely rivals this unit in it's price range. Highly recommended if you need a rugged player with great sound, mp3 capabilities and line-in feature. I am really enjoying mine.
