Sony S05 Digital CD Radio Cassette Player - CFD-S05

Comments about Sony S05 Digital CD Radio Cassette Player:

I reviewed many other brands of portable radios before purchasing this one and was not disappointed. The other brands at the price of the Sony do not have many of the features this has. I wanted specifically a FM radio, cassette player and cd player, the CFD-SO5 had everything and more. The sound quality is very good for a small compact portable radio. The reviewers who labeled the sound quality as a "Con" should remember what you paid for, if you want concert sound quality you have to pay for it, for what this radio was designed for the sound quality is excellent. Sony AM/FM, cassette-Corder, CD player for under $50 is a great buy.

This compact player does it all, for me. The sound is so much better than I expected, especially for such a small box. Bought to take on a camping trip, but it will be used in my studio for a long time.

Digital tuning gets rid of station fade in radio mode. Clear audio in tape or cd mode. This is a good compact combination player-recorder (from radio or cd to tape), one of the few left on the market that will play cassettes, and I still have many that I like to play. It will replace a similar machine that I have almost worn out after about 10 years.

Good sound quality for a reasonable price was my goal, so it was a risk to buy it without listening to it first. I am happy with the sound quality for a boom box, and I'm pretty picky. For my little girl in her bedroom, it's perfect. I wouldn't mind it for myself in my garage. It likely won't be moved around much and we haven't had it long, so I can't speak for durability or other qualities. So far, it's great.

Service and delivery comments:

I was impressed with the website being clear and fast, having all of the info I needed to make my choice. Delivery was quick as projected, and considering it wasn't many days before Christmas, I expected a delay. Overall the service and outcome was great (and a relief).

I rarely write reviews and I also rarely buy refurbished products, but I bought this refurbished CD/Cassette player and am very satisfied with the purchase that I had to review it. It was on sale for just $19.95 plus tax, a very good deal. Packaging was very simple with lots of bubble wrapping to protect the product. You don't need to read the user guide to use the player. I just took the player out of the box, connect the power cord, and easily figured out how to use the player on the spot. It's very intuitive and easy to learn to use. The first thing that struck me is its small size when I took it out of the box. I was half expecting a huge player because my mom owns a huge Sony CD/Cassette player as well. This one is about small-medium size and lightweight with a carrying handle to take on the go for ultra portability. I love it. A desktop printer probably takes up much more space than this player. I tested the radio, cassette, and CD playing features and they all work as expected. Truly 5 stars and especially for the price paid.

I was looking for a cassette player for my friend with a large book on tape collection. I was pleased to find a Sony with a small footprint and a reasonable price. It will be good at home and on his sail boat. And I was delighted with Abt's service!
