The Bottom Line: "If it sounds too good to be it probably is."

Pros: Sound quality, compact size

Cons: Poor radio reception without antenna

Review: When I started getting ready to go off to college I had to decide what to take with me and what to leave behind at home. I had to carefully choose items that wouldn't take up too much space in my crammed dorm room. I knew my Sony receiver and 5 disc...

Pros: small size simple operation (good for Grannies)

Cons: nosebleed price limited connections to other devices seemingly poor quality CD player

Pros: Great sound quality

Cons: nothing
