but overall its a great boombox is your looking for something travel wise this is it

This is a great boombox - it is easy to use, has a lot of functions, plays music very clearly and offers a high degree of control.

USB playback is a great additional feature to an already very reasonably priced boombox.

The boombox is great it deserves more then what hatred it gets but the pros is that it has great sound, the radio works super well and the cd player works just as i expected and the cons are that yes there is no backlight for the clock or anything like that and the buttons to favorite a radio dont work or i just dont know how to set it

I have a CD player, but its volume is too soft to hear it in another room.

radio reception is good but volume not high enough might be sending back

Very poor sound .not enough volume

Good clear sound, great volume control, easy to use, given as a

Love the fact that you can plug in and use

I like the fact that it works well and is easy to use.

The sound quality is good, the set set-up is incredibly easy, and the controls are very easy to figure out and navigate

It may well be that this new Sony CD boom box is as good as you can buy out there these days, which only underscores the point how much the quality of these products have regressed over the years.

Good sound quality on lower tones for a so-called "boom-box", as compared to a cheaper cd player , that quit on me after the warranty expired.

The search continues for a small to medium-sized CD player that works.

I'm giving this model a 5star because finding a cd player that works in today's world is a challenge

and it lasted for about a week before CD player and radio stopped working

Based on the mostly positive reviews, I did not hesitate and ordered it.“Sony Portable CD Player Boombox Personal Audio System ZS-PS50” is a lot more than a CD player, but for me that is the key feature

Good sound quality on lower tones for a so-called "boom-box", as compared to a cheaper cd player , that quit on me after the warranty expired.

Radio and cd player for kitchen and bathroom use...easy to move and small enough to place.

I like that this cd player is reasonably priced for a high quality, plug in or battery powered portable cd player

I was looking for a boombox with a good radio as well as a cd player (I like to listen to sports outside in addition to cds).

This is perfect for what I wanted, small, decent size, good sound quality, and very easily read directions, and looks like it was written by someone with a command of the English language!

When it was working, the small size, portability and sound quality were really very nice

Size is very small and sound quality poor

The search continues for a small to medium-sized CD player that works.

Disappointed at the fact a well-know brand name failed to be reliable in the long (actually, short) run.

I chose Sony over cheaper brands because I’ve always been satisfied with their products but not this time

This is disappointing because Sony is usually such a good brand.

All else is ok, but I am GUESSING that my Sony warranty is no good and the Asurion extended warranty I bought at time of purchase is also no good

I suspect that a lot of the positive reviews here are phony, as the last Sony boom box I purchased was an "Xplod" model whose CD player started having problems after 4 years, despite only occasional use.

Usually Sony makes a good product, but it bombed with this one!

It may well be that this new Sony CD boom box is as good as you can buy out there these days, which only underscores the point how much the quality of these products have regressed over the years.

Also noticeable is how much lighter this Sony CD boom box weighs as compared to the previous one

This one is easy to use and has excellent quality sound.

This is just what I needed,,,,,,,,,,,it works very well and the sound quality is pretty good.

The sound quality for CDs and radio is great for this size boombox.

Usually Sony makes a good product, but it bombed with this one!

The product is great, but the lack of disguise is most annoying.

Nobody likes blowing $90 on a product used occasionally like that not being able to get it fixed.

Usually Sony makes a good product, but it bombed with this one!

Product useless as connection for mains electricity is for USA not Ireland and therefore can not be used.

The antenna is so hard to move it broke off the first time I tried to move it (I guess it is a CD player only now), the buttons are hard to read for me, I have to pick it up to see what the buttons are and there is no handle

Every time you unplug it, it loses the channel you were listening too

People who have problems with eyesight have a hard time reading the dials.

Just recently my long-time Sony CD boombox finally bit the dust (more on that later)
