from reviews.sears.com
great product but i have to turn it up to volume level "10" to get some good volume.
from Not 2 fond of brussel sprouts, www.target.com
an option for mega bass only adds even more depth to your cd's..and the radio!-wow-a "10" on the sound scale!!don't bother looking at any other stores/sites--you won't find this product anywhere else!
from www.abt.com
the sony heavy duty (construction) boom box is a quality product.

jWIN JXCD573

$52.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it doesn't have earth-shaking bass response, nor is it particularly loud.
from www.amazon.com
the only other complaint is that the boombox could use a bit more volume, because to me the only way the get the music to play at a decent volume was the use the "jazz" and "pop" presets.
from www.amazon.com
the lcd works, it plays all the media and i have all the volume i need for a moderate size room.
from www.amazon.com
it's probably not loud enough to satisfy most teenagers, but it's good enough to fill a room and the sound quality is solid for the price.
from www.amazon.com
i agree that the lcd display is not always clear and i sometimes have to angle the unit against the light to see it.
