A Man's Boombox

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2006
Review: If you like Dodge Trucks, real beer, and other cool things, you'll like this bad boy. Yeah, it is big, but it also sounds REALLY GOOD. There are a bunch of sound settings, including WOOFER, for minimal, moderate, or mega bass. The unit has both...

SONY CFD-G505 BOOMBOX

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2006
The Bottom Line: I'm disappointed. Sound is compressed, shrill and boomy. Display is tiny. May have power supply problems. Awful tone controls. Sound is annoying. I returned mine.
Review: I have been looking for a higher quality boombox for some time. I decided to buy the Sony CFD-G505. It replaces the CFD-G500.

I am not too happy with the unit. I will give its pros and cons.

Just like the G500, the G505 sounds...

Almost awesome, but ultimately not.

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: Sounds good for a boombox, and has line-in. If that's what you want, this will do it. If money's no object, get the JVC $250 one.
Review: First things first: I bought this unit to replace my old CFD-G500 (basically same unit) so obviously I do think the device has merit.



Initial Experience
It comes out of the box like you'd expect any boombox to. Nothing...

Poor example of what used to be

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2009
The Bottom Line: Worth it on sale or clearance.
Review: I'v owned the Sony CFDG770CPK about 4 months now. I will say this is nothing like the gods that walked the earth in the mid 80's when ghetto blasters ruled.

This unit has more cons than pros. The tone is excellent and the bass is deep for a...

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Date of Review:  Apr 19, 2007
Review: This machine sounds very good. I wanted a high power machine with realistic watts - this one offers that feature. The bass is a plus-it's rich, but not bloated!

There are flaws here. It's no lightweight! The red light on the front of the...

Big sound...Little Price

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is two thumbs up. You get a lot from this unit for only $99.
Review: I purchased this medium-sized unit about a week ago after testing many different brands and models. The first thing that got my attention was it's great looks. Upon further investigation, I found that this unit has a subwoofer. Once I fired it up I...

Excellent Boombox and a Must for the Garage

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2008
Review: Rugged looking, VERY good sound for a boombox, line in for mp3 player or other source (TV/DVD/VCR sound). The tuner is extremely powerful compared to my last Sony boombox that lasted 12 years. It pulls in ALL my stations with the antenna in most...

Great sounding Sony!

Date of Review:  Aug 5, 2002
The Bottom Line: I'd buy another without a second thought. As a matter of fact...once my brother heard my CFD-G50, he rushed out and bought one with no regrets!
Review: I've listened to all the available portable boomboxes. For the mere price of $99.00, this unit is well worth investing in. The subwoofer is an excellent addition and it really makes the system sound more like a shelf type outfit. The audio output,...

Buy For Sound, Not For Looks

Date of Review:  May 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you need volume and sound quality from a boombox, this will deliver in a way very few other units can match.
Review: I bought this product for one purpose - to be usable in a noisy ice rink. It does the job, with ample volume and good sound quality.

Yes, there are things not to like about it - it's big, heavy, and ugly: its aesthetic screams "male...
