Delphi Sa 10034 Skyfi Cd Audio System Review

Delphi Sa 10034 Skyfi Cd Audio System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The mere thought of a combination satellite radio/cd/radio boombox delights the ears. I needed a CD player/radio AND wanted to be able to listen to my XM radio, so I gave this boombox a try. What a disappointment. The main problem is the background noise on the XM radio. The faint high-pitched hum only occurs when listening to the XML radio. The CD player and radio sound fine, however, CDs skip and sometimes hesitate to play. Removing the XM radio takes some practice. You snap the unit into the adapter, which is fine, but to remove it, you have to push on the radio until the unit slides forward. That was my experience.

If you don't already own a Delphi XM radio, consider the Audiophase satellite radio Skybox with AM/FM/CD/MP3 player. Or you could add a receiver to an XM radio family plan,[...].

Pros:
- Radio and cd player fidelity
- Intuitive buttons

Cons:
- Background noise
- Skipping CDs
- Awkward way to insert and remove XM radio
- Garish design

Creative D100 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (Black) Review

Creative D100 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Given this is the first review, I will be thorough.

I've owned the Creative D100 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker for two months (paid $78.47).I'm very pleased.The sound quality is excellent for this type of speaker.The volume is loud enough to completely fill a room or a small outdoor area (e.g., patio).I've enjoyed it on the beach and found quality does not suffer much at high volumes.

Like with any small speaker, if you crank it to max volume, there is some distortion on bass-heavy songs.But the distortion is slight, and the bass sounds great if you have the volume appropriately set for the type of audio you are streaming.

On that note, there is no remote.The only way to control the volume is the `volume up' and `volume down' buttons on the front of the speaker or directly from streaming device ONLY IF it allows it.That is, my iPhone (3G - iOS 3.1.3) CANNOT change the speaker's volume while streaming, but my laptop can.In my use, I have not needed a remote.Usually I directly set the speaker's volume for the environment (e.g., bathroom, patio) and forget it.No remote also means you must control the streaming media from your device.There are no media control buttons on the speaker.

There is an auxiliary input on the back of the speaker, if you want to hook up a non-bluetooth device, or maybe just to save battery by not using Bluetooth.

Pairing with Bluetooth-capable devices (in my case, iPhone 3G and HP laptop) is simple and quick.

Battery life (four AA) is excellent.It is so long I cannot even put an estimate in terms of hours.It also came with an AC adapter, but I have never used it.The battery compartment is underneath the speaker.

The speaker is fairly small and very light.I actually carry it from room-to-room to enjoy while I am doing chores.

My only concern with the speaker is the build quality.The plastic casing is sturdy, but the front face of the speaker (surrounding the name plate and volume controls) is made of cloth.The cloth is spongy, but I am worried that it will inevitably tear with my heavy use of the speaker.There is no travel case included with the speaker.

Looking for a portable Bluetooth wireless speaker, I also considered the Logitech Z515 ($90, smaller and cloth-free).I've never used that Logitech speaker, but I ultimately chose the Creative D100 based on superior reviews for sound quality and bass quality.Look into both.There are good reviews for them and a comparison on CNET, if you want more information.

On the front of the speaker:
Volume up button
Volume down button
Bluetooth connect button

On the back of the speaker:
Power (on/off) switch
Aux input
5V AC adapter input

Underneath the speaker:
Battery compartment (four AA)

I had no idea how hard it would be to find a satisfactory boombox that also had the tv/dvd player built in.This looked the best of the three models I could find on Amazon and was the first of the three devices we tried, each with frustrating shortcomings in the design or quality.The other two were GPX BT780B 7 Inch LCD Portable TV/DVD/AM/FM Boombox and the Coby TFDVD7091 7-Inch DVD/MP3/CD Player and ATSC/NTSC TV Tuner, BlackAll three could be harshly described as cheap chinese junk, but for the money we were not expecting audiofile quality and manufacture. But design decisions torpedoed all three at fullfilling what we wanted from the devices. I don't like hassling with sending stuff back to Amazon, but all three were returned and we ended up settling on separate devices for the portable cd/tv/dvd functionality that we wanted. If these could have been examined in store we likely never would have bought any of them.

When first using it, I really, really tried to like this NAXA unit and justify keeping it, but sent it back for several reasons. To be fair, some people will probably find this device suitable to their wants and like it.

I had three main intended uses for this boombox and this one device appeared to have it all, plus it was the only one I could find that had battery, AC, and car adapter DC power options (a huge plus for our intended uses). It turned out to not be particularly good for any of our three main purposes.

First, we wanted it to play audio cds upstairs where we have no stereo.Though it is billed as a boombox, the dvd player does not play audio cds!This may be the unit's biggest flaw and it is hard to fathom it not playing an audio cd but playing dvd. I know cds are on there way out and digital downloads are in, but it has a disc player already installed!And it is a boombox!

Secondly, we were going to strap it to the console of our van for the 12 hour trips we take to visit family and use the dvd to keep our daughter's attention when she got road weary. The sound for music seemed okay, no great dynamic range but listenable, but when playing a dvd male voice dialogue was hard to discern. They sounded muffled and the only solution was to turn up the volume more than we wanted it.We could find no tone or EQ settings to try and boost the mid-range and figured it would be nearly impossible to understand dialogue over the road noise in our van.The screen image was also brighter and better on the NAXA than the other two models we tried.

The third reason we wanted this was for emergency tv/radio. While we never bothered to attempt the tv because we knew it was going back, the analog FM tuner was very touchy and difficult to dial in stations as if it was an afterthought in the design. But the battery power was a plus for emergency tv and radio if you need them for that.

Comparing the NAXA and the GPX, the build quality appeared reasonably stout on the NAXA and didn't scream cheapo electronics as badly as the GPX model, which is odd because the two models share several design elements and probably schematics for the the button controls as they were nearly identical. These probably come from the same Chinese contract factory. The GPX was flimsier but to it's advantage it has a front load disc drive and the NAXA is a top loader after you flip the screen up.

Some pros for the NAXA:
1) The multiple electrical inputs are great and surprisingly hard to find on a portable tv/dvd combo.
2) The screen image for the dvd we tested, "Charlottes Web", was pleasant
3) It is compact

Bottom line on the NAXA: if you don't care that it does not play music cds or may be hard to hear in a moving car, it might work for you. It has a lot of features for the money, but the quality will obvious challenge a long life for this device.

Philips Executive 30-Watt Micro Speaker System with iPod Dock (Black/Silver) Review

Philips Executive 30-Watt Micro Speaker System with iPod Dock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great little box in almost every way, and so it is more useful, I think, to say what the downside is.

The CD player remembers where it was only during the pause-state, and the pause-state doesn't last very long.Turn it off, and you've lost your place.This is a minor issue, because a small pad and pencil an resolve it.

Considering that the external FM antenna, in my location, does not have to be extended, it would have been nicer to have an FM antenna built-in and just have the external antenna for those of us far from a signal source.

Other than that, my wife has been delighted to be able to listen to any kind of current CD, her iPod, or a USB flash drive with music files on it (the drive has to be formatted as a Windows flash drive, which can be done on an OS X Mac as well as on a Windows PC), or listen to the radio.

The sound is very pleasant to listen to and is high quality considering the size of the speakers.In fact we intend to get a second one for another location in the house.

Digital Sound Control
Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop, and Classic controls that you can use to optimize the frequency ranges for different musical styles. Each mode uses graphic equalizing technology to automatically adjust the sound balance and enhance the most important sound frequencies in your chosen music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control makes it easy for you get the most out of your music by precisely adjusting the sound balance to match the type of music you are playing.

SIRIUS Stratus 6 Dock-and-Play Radio with Car Kit (Black) Review

SIRIUS Stratus 6 Dock-and-Play Radio with Car Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this to replace an Audiovox PNP2 radio purchased in 2004...after wasting tons of time and effort trying to make it continue to work properly. I had purchased three home docks and one auto dock for the PNP2 so I was not thrilled when it started to fail. I could not get consistient reception with the PNP2 even after placing the antennae in various places outside my home. I even bought an antenna extender so I could place the antenna on the roof, free from obstruction...no dice. I listen to Sirius all day long so reception problems were driving me nuts!

I ordered the Stratus 6 (with car kit) and a home kit from Amazon because they had the lowest pricing and free shipping. I only ordered one home kit to be sure everything worked properly. After spending a short time connecting everything to a receiver on the first floor I was ready to take the antenna outside for a test when, to my surprise, I heard music! The new antenna was pulling a signal from inside the house! I was completely floored and soon realized that the technology has been enhanced quite a bit since the days of the PNP2. I now keep the unit on top of an organ next to the receiver and keep the antenna curled up, pointing at a wall, and I get all three reception bars! Moving to another stereo in another part of the house is so simple that I don't even need to purchase additional docks. I wish I hadn't waited so long.

The car kit is just as great...I plugged the supplied 3.5mm to 3.5mm connector to my AUX IN, ran the antenna through to the trunk, and found a convenient spot on the dash for the dock. WAY better reception than the crappy PNP2 car dock!

I was able ot transfer my lifetime subscription to the new unit in about five minutes ($75 fee for that but worth it to call all the way to India for assistance ;-)

The blue display is so easy to read and the 10 pre-sets are adequate to get me around the dial quickly. Sound is stellar! I highly recommend this unit!

Boombox Digital Am/fm Radio Remote Control 20 Watts White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had, well I actually still HAVE but I can't USE, a Memorex iMove Mi3005.

I paid around $100 for it and really loved using it for the two years it lived.We're pretty well-stocked in the way of iPod accessories (iLuv clock/radio, iPod dock on our surround sound, iTravel, and then our PCs themselves), so I only actually used it outside and on a couple of family vacations.For us it did the trick, playing my iPod while relaxing with friends outside during our 3 1/2 months of summer here PLUS it was portable enough to take when we went away.I loved the way it looked with its built-in handle, and never thought the sound was lacking.I actually never thought anything about it was negative at all.Until now.

Just today, after not using it for the past eight months I plugged it in and went to turn it on and NOTHING!The power pack attached to the electric cord shows the green light, but hit that on/off button and absolutely nothing happens.Oh, well, the display did illuminate for a nano-second on one or two of my tries, but that was about it.Googled the problem and it seems I'm not alone.Quite a few others have posted this issue in several different forums but there's not ONE solution posted at all...just that others are indeed experiencing the same problem.

So I'm kind of in the middle here.I liked it a lot, but I bet I'd used it no MORE than 40 or 50 times.Was it worth the money for two years of only occasional use?Ummm, for me, no.And I'm kinda bummed because ***I*** was the one who out-and-out refused to take my boombox down to the beach for fear of ruining it (always stayed up in the beach house)!So it was well taken care of...nothing I did to cause this problem, of that I'm sure.

Take this for what it's worth.They've REALLY come down in price so you might want to give it a shot...it wasn't a bad product while it worked.As for me, I just bought a Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere.We're going to see if we have better luck with that one!

I choose the JVC Sirius tuner because of this boombox.It is by far the best boombox available for satellite.The sound is good due to it having separate tweeters mounted coaxially with the woofers unlike the other brands which just have a full range speaker.It's very easy to operate.It has an input for things like your MP3 player and a headphone output which mutes the speakers.It even has a built in fan to cool the tuner which is really nifty.Definately the way to go to take Sirius to the pool or yard.

UPDATE - 9/19/2007:I WROTE THE COMPANY VIA E-MAIL.AFTER A COUPLE OF E-MAILS, THEY WROTE BACK, TOLD ME THEY WOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS EXPIRED, AND REPLACED THEUNIT WITH A NEW ONE.THE COMPANY STOOD BY THE PRODUCT.THE NEW UNIT IS AN IMPROVED MODEL, AND IT IS MUCH BETTER.FOR THE PRICE, IT'S AN PRETTY GOOD VALUE.AT LEAST THE ONE WE HAVE WORKS NOW.THANKS TO iLIVE FOR BEING A STAND-UP COMPANY.We purchased this unit at a Kohl's in Arkansas in April.It is a cheaply made unit.If you turn up the volume very loud, the CD player will skip, so apparently there is no anti-skip feature.That's extremely annoying.The unit began to give problems just after the 90-day warranty (imagine that!) and now it will not turn on at all.The clock display will appear if the unit is plugged in, with the time of 12:00, but you cannot set or change it.The iPod will charge, but will not play.We are going to throw this hunk of junk in the trash.I certainly cannot sell it to anyone, as it will not function or play, PERIOD.Perhaps another manufacturer has a better quality type of iPod boom box that will work well.Whatever you do, PLEASE do yourself a favor, and avoid this product like the plague!I intend to write the company over this most disapointing experience.

Product Description:
A great gift for iPod owners everywhere, the iLive IBCD3817DTBLK portable boombox integrates a built-in iPod docking station with a slot-loading CD player and AM/FM tuner, making it a true all-in-one portable audio system. The unit starts with the iPod dock, which plays and charges your iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod photo 4G, iPod video 5G and 5.5G, iPod mini, and iPod nano 1G and 2G. The CD player, meanwhile, supports CD, CD-R, and CD-RW formats, letting you listen to any CD tracks that you haven't yet uploaded to your iPod, along with a friend's CDs. Finally, you can catch up on the news, listen to the game, or catch a commercial station via the AM/FM tuner, which offers a number of station presets for easy channel surfing.
The IBCD3817DTBLK owes its high-quality 2.1-channel sound to its pair of front-firing stereo speakers and dual subwoofers, which combine to produce a rich audio performance with a surprisingly deep bass response for such a compact unit. Also adding to the audio quality is a built-in equalizer with several preset settings, including rock, pop, jazz, classic, and DBBS. And thanks to the full-function remote control, you can control the CD player and iPod from a distance. Other details include a sleek black housing; a six-digit blue backlit LCD display with a digital clock and timer; CD track programming; a 3.5 mm auxiliary input for connecting other audio players, like an iPod shuffle or MP3 player, an audio/video output for connecting an iPod photo or video to a TV; a stereo HP jack; and a comfortable carrying handle.

Purchased this to supplement my Motorola BT headphones. Product is visually appealing and has overall well constructed and solid feel. Performs well and audio sounds very crisp/clear.

I use it for streaming audio from the internet with my Motorola Q"SOMA FM"and it tends to clip from time to time due to the signal. Does not occur while playing songs straight from the phone memory/SD card.

Volume goes loud although bass response will suffer due to limited woofer size. 'Has much more range overall than most "ipod" and "zen" player loudspeakers I have heard.

Expensive but worth it for a very unique, new tech product !!!

Great boombox!It can be used with the original Sirius Sportster Receiver and also the Sportster Replay 2 Receiver.Comes with an AC Adapter and the antenna to pick up the satellite signal.If you want to take the boombox out and about, plug in 8 D Cell Batteries (yes that's a lot, but most boomboxes require this number) and you're out and about.

Great sound on the speakers!Crank it up and there's no crackling or sound distortion.

The price Amazon sells it at along with the free shipping, you're going to have a difficult time finding anyone else with these prices!

Philips PSS110 GoGear ShoqBox 256 MB Personal MP3 Sound System Review

Philips PSS110 GoGear ShoqBox 256 MB Personal MP3 Sound System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this little guy hoping it could be a good alarm clock replacement, but I've found that it doesn't work so well in that regard. That is not to say that it is a bad music player though, it's just not meant to be an alarm clock.

It looks like it would be perfect as a portable speaker set for an iPod or something, due to it's size and rechargeable battery. Or if you didn't have a computer at work and wanted something you could bring in to play music files on. It's very portable.

The good:
1. sound - puts out some pretty decent sound considering the size.
2. size - smaller than I thought it would be. not pocket-sized, but not prohibitively big or heavy either.
3. looks - very polished design.
4. accessories - comes with cord antenna, line-in cord & carry case, all good add-ons that complete the function of the unit.
5. firmware upgradeable, so more (or more improved) features may be yet to come.

The bad:
1. clock displays in 24hr format all the time. I'm guessing Europe is the primary market for this thing.
2. When plugged in and turned off, the LCD backlight is on all the time. Might bother some people who are light sleepers. and when you have the unit on, the backlight has a 5 sec timeout? it would seem to make more sense the other way around to me.
3.alarm snooze is only 10 minutes, and automatic. I prefer it to only go into snooze when you hit a "snooze" button, so I can leave the radio running while I get dressed and stuff in the morning. as it is now, you have to turn it off after the alarm goes off, then turn it back on again, or else it will automatically go into snooze mode after 10 minutes.
4. you have to use musicmatch jukebox to upload music to it. well, you can upload music manually, like it was a flash drive, but the device uses a SQLite database, which needs to be updated or else it won't see any new music in the music folder. there are some third party apps for updating this db for you, but they are flaky at best. I just hate having to use an app to do something as simple as moving files.

The good news about most of these bad things is that because the unit is firmware upgradeable, Philips could release fixes for them eventually, if they are on the ball.

So, I will still say I like this thing, even if I do have to still stick with my older, uglier alarm clock for now.

UPDATE: the latest firmware for this has fixed two issues:

1) it now does 12 hour time display as well as 24 hour.
2) the backlight will dim after a short timeout period when it is plugged in.

Just an FYI.

RCA Universal Portable Electronic Replacement Power Cord (AH1U) (AH1U) Review

RCA Universal Portable Electronic Replacement Power Cord
Average Reviews:

hi. my mom lost her power cord, for RCD159 RCA CD boombox. I searched the net alot, and this RCA Universal power cord replacement model, seemed 2 be the right thing 2 get. It doesn't work on my mom's RCA RCD159 CD boombox, or my friend Fe has RCA RCD200 CD boombox. So, u see, i just know 2 RCA models that IT DOESN'T WORK FOR. Better be sure, cuz they will tell u anything, and usually they have no idea of what works, or doesn't work. I'm gonna email Thompson Electronics, who handles support for RCA items, i think they r in Indiana, and i will find my mom the same power cord that Fe uses on her RCA RCD200 CD boombox. i rated this 4, cuz it's ok, but it's not right 4 me. Good luck 4 u.

Disney Hannah Montana Speaker System for iPod and MP3 Players Review

Disney Hannah Montana Speaker System for iPod and MP3 Players

This system is so cool. It plays your ipod and you can totally plug in a mic and sing along with all your fave Hannah Montanna songs. The sound quality is amazing. You can really get the party started by plugging in a guitar and jamming, this is a guitar amp on top of everything! The look is so cute with great little details on the knobs showing a mic or a guitar for that particular knob purpose. As soon as it came out of the box, I sang for like an hour. Also I got a really good deal, only 24.95 for this instead of the 69.99 amazon price. Get this deal fast, it really is too good to be true.
