Just a bass boost, which he had already turned on

It has bass boost and it is loud

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.

This Sony boom box has great sound and bass.

Their sound was only good when you were close to the speakers but they had decent bass and sound for their size

It's got a really satisfying, rich bass tone.

Excellent sound and bass.

Indoors the sound compares to a decent stereo and has some incredible bass along with some crisp, clear sound that you typically wouldn't expect from a boombox

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

It has a bulky AC adaptor verses a regular power cord, and 2) Not a definitive sound meaning the sound is very good, and I mean that, but it could use a simple equalizer component as part of the system, and not just the bass boost which does indeed work well.

Inadequate bass: no tone control.

The bass isn't even good, even when you turn on the bass boost

I really like Sony's idea to have the sides of the box be flat(the red hexagons on either side)so that you can pick it up from the side handle and stand it upright to save space(quickly and easily--even with 6 D batteries in it, this thing isn't a chore to lift unless you happen to be a 12 year old girl with stick arms).Complaints(time to whine):While the "stand upright" function is a huge plus for me, Sony put a big dent in that functionality by putting a CD player in the unit that has VERY bad esp(shock/bump protection); so bad in fact that it's impossible to play a CD in it while in the upright position or it skips frantically with the slightest movement(in my case this movement was having the volume up to the high 3 setting w/ mega bass off...not very loud at all)

CD player great at work,i can clearly hear the music an the mega bass adds the boom

Great bass

Solid bass, digital tuning, streamlined controls, easy synchronization to almost any MP3 or external audio device and heavy plastic construction makes this item 'every bit as advertised'

She wanted a portable CD player that was lightweight but durable to take her CD's from room to room as well as to the patio and garden
