Comments about Sony Sony Black Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System:

This product is used in an exercise room to while away the time while getting my cardio. It is small efficient and easy to use. My only complaint is that for some CD's I just can't get it to play loud enough for my liking. Mostly though that is not a big concern.

Comments about Sony Sony Black Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System:

Great to dock your Ipod and listen to your favorite music and charge it at the same time. It's very handy! The sound quality is great for a micro system. The sound is a bit muffled as you increase the volume.
Overall: Great product. Easy to use. Very well made!

Comments about Sony Sony Black Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System:

I got this unit for my nephew for Christmas. He is extremely happy. Like the fact that the speakers can be attached or separated, the remote controls the iPod functions not just the unit functions, and the iPod will charge while docked. It is a good all around unit and great starter unit for a preteen.

Service & Delivery comments:

ABT Electronics got this unit delivered before Christmas and I ordered it on Dec 23. The web site was easy to use. They sent email alerts at every step of the process. I felt informed and connected to whole process. Everything went very smooth. I used to live in the Chicago area and know that my nephew will be taken care of if anything goes wrong with the unit. ABT is very reliable and will shop with them again.

Comments about Sony Sony Black Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System:

This stereo and an iPod were a Christmas gift for my home office. It was easy to set up, and my family and I were impressed with the quality of the sound for such an inexpensive unit. The stereo fits nicely into a built-in bookcase. However, I do wish that it was about half the size it is more like "executive stereos" of recent years. Overall, though, I am thrilled with it and my iPod.

Bought this system for my teenage daughter to use with her iPod in her bedroom. For the price this is a very nice system. I was surprised at how good the sound was. I listen to a lot of music and am pretty picky. I was very pleasantly surprised. Great value for the money.

Comments about Sony Sony Black Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System:

This system produces great clear sound although it looks simply enough and comes with separated three pieces that make it clumsy to carry around the house. It can be heard best whenever it at low or high volume and it is good for my bedroom night stand.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Sony Sony Black Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System:

This is the perfect office (dorm room, bedroom, etc.) sound system. The unit is attractive and does not take up much space. The sound is great - either through the provided speakers or through headphones. The iPod doc is easy to use and the remote control syncs nicely - you're able to control the iPod by the Sony remote. In addition, I hooked up a Sirius Satellite Radio docking station to the "Audio In" input and am able to enjoy all its offerings. The only downside I see is that the speakers do not attach to the control until making portability a bit more difficult.

Overall, for the size it has a good sound. Don't like where IPOD docks. Looks like one good bump and it breaks the connector.
