Just what I was looking for

As I travel a lot and like to listen to world service I was looking for a small portable radio, with a built in alarm clock but which also received short wave. Thats easier said than done as radios seem to have gone out of fashion and everyone seems to sell gadgets with too many features. This radio fitted my requirements perfectly, its lightweight, tiny, folds in 2 so is more resistant to falling on the floor, has a little snooze light so you can check the time in the dark and gets excellent short wave reception. You don't even have to change the time as you tell it the time zone and the time adujsts automatically.

What I really liked is that everything is manual, no annoying electronic features that take you 4 hours reading the manual. The sound quality is also very good for such a small device and certainly sufficent for world service, though probably not for someone who really wants to focus on music. I bought this for a studying holiday in Rome and it really served its purpose of allowing me to listen to the local radio and foreign stations, it now travels with me everywhere. The only negative point I can think of is that the noise of the alarm is very irritating but then perhaps its supposed to be.

What WATT is this speaker

Hello would anyone beable to tell me what WATT this speakr is because im wondering if to buy it or not ... and would it be compaitable with diffrent make phones eg ... i have an Nokia 5800 would it work on this kind of phone...

cassette Decks

A great product at a reasonable price. As an entry level deck it is superb. Does everything I want; records from any source, turntable, CD player or tuner, as well as recording (dubbing) from deck A to B, and all via standard 'phono leads (supplied).

Make sure you read the addendum to the manual as there is a different regime for dubbing, NOT involving the Record button, to recording everything else.

OK, so you can't record on deck A but, seriously, who would need to record on two decks at the same time, unless you are a real pro., in which case you need to be looking at a higher price range.

No, this unit does everything that you need for a home HI-FI seperate and gives a great sound.

easy listening

Having several Sony products including Tv, high fi, clock radio mp3's .I wanted a new portable cassette/radio. what better choice than the Sony cfds01 ,it has a reasonable sound output and the layout of controls is very good and easy to operate .plus it got Medium wave great for sport reports .in short it will do nicely for me thankyou very much.

GOOD But....

these are very good. very good sound and brilliant to just pack away. the only thing is that the connector is very weak. had mine only a couple of months and a part of plastic on the connector snaped in my phone. so now i have a peice of plastic stuck in my sony ericsson. if you want to pay a bit extra get the mbs-100 speaker it is bluetooth and just amazing

Super Sony

I have to disagree with Mr Bearman as I have the same model and consider it to be five star in every sense. I think he must have just been unlucky with his receiver as mine performs effortlessly taking in its stride everything I put through it. I have a Toshiba HD player, blu-ray player and v+ hd cable box connected up to it leaving me with another 3 HDMI inputs should I need them. It also upscales SD very well. With an intuitive GUI menu, full Dolby True HD/DTS-HD Master audio decoding and a host of other goodies I'm not surprised it received the EISA European Best Product award for 2008-2009.

Fantastic Portable Speakers

These Sony speakers are great if what your looking for is a pair of speakers that you can take with you anywhere. Theve been with me all over the world and been thrown about much more than I inteneded them to be and I'm sure much more than they are designed for. Yet despite all that they still play my music to a very high quality without any distortion even on full volume, my old speakers started to destort and crackle at even half volume. These are well made, light, small and attractive speakers.

5 Stars

It will charge your mobile as a docking style device and most importantly, give you a great sound for such a compact unit.
Whether or not your playing your MP3 tracks or the radio you will love the sound from this unit......that for once (for this type of accessory).....feels really well contructed.

COMPACT GOOD QUALITY LAPTOP SPEAKERS

When folded the speaker measures approx. 17cm by 6cm by 2.5cm. So very easy to store, great sound, great look and I think very good value for the quality of this product. Only wish I'd bought this speaker ages ago!

Sony SRS M-30 small portable with OK sound

The great thing about these speakers is that they are very light (only 200gms) and easy to carry. Even the adapter is pretty sleek. The sound is OK. Mid and high frequencies sound very good, but lower frequencies get distorted esp. at high volumes. So if you listen at low and medium volumes and are always on the move, and hate to have headphones always on, these are worth the price.

Sony CFD-SO1

It does everthing it says it does, well made, good sound quality (including radio reception). Good value for its price.

Good value for money

Very compact therefore good for travelling. Work best in small spaces with no other noises, perfect for hotel rooms etc. If you have the volume too loud the sound does become 'tinny' and distorted. Good value for price probably not good for everyday use.

Excellent but there is one deception

Perfect product with lots of easy to use functions. Compact size and stylish look. Very good sound. However, advertisments and packaging box mention you can connect your MP3 via USB. The manual then mentions you can only connect a Limited types of SONY MP3 which are: NWD-B103/B103F/B105/B105F/NWZ-B103F/B105F/NWZ-A815/A816/A818/NWZ-S515/S516/S615F/S616F/S618F
Its a bit misleading but you can use your MP3 and connect it to the"Sound in" socket with a cable with 2 male Jack connectors. Easy to find in one pound shops, Curry, Comets etc...

Sony SRSA201 Computer/MP3 Speakers

I bought these speakers for adding to a Teac 19 inch LCD televison that sounds like a wind-up 78rpm record player with a rusty needle and playing though a couple and empty baked bean cans. Although the Bass of these Sony speakers leaves something to be desired they transform the sound from the television into something that is acceptable. The speakers are quite attractive and neat and for the price are good value for money. They are certainly not Hi-Fi and perhaps not the standard one would expect from Sony, but I would rate them as good per purpose. These speakers also work well on an MP3 player, although again not Hi-Fi. At 2 watts the volume is fine for a small room or personal listening in a study. However, the Bass is weak, as one would expect from a small cone speaker, and if anyone wants good quality sound a more powerful amplifier and and more substantial case and speaker design is necessary.

Interference all the time

I was given this Sony ICF-C205 clock radio as a birthday present 4 months ago to replace my old one and since I have had it I cannot say there has been one day without interference, crackling, high pitched whine etc. I only have to walk around the bedroom and the sound varies from good to terrible.If someone is having a shower and the combi boiler starts up there is continual interference. If I catch hold of the trailing arial wire the reception is great. I have wound the wire around a table lamp but still reception is variable. Sit next to it and it's OK, move a few feet and interference is back again. A great pity as the display is good and the controls easy to use.
