A Man's Boombox

by  nieman46804 ,  Dec 30, 2006
9 out of 9 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Great sound, looks really cool (neon light in front), remote.
Cons: Very large, no MP3 (on CD). Too much for girly men. :-)
This reviewer recommends this product.
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

by  lovehifi ,  Apr 23, 2006
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Can get pretty loud. Flashy appearance may appeal to teenagers.
Cons: Boomy bass. Shrill treble. Poor tone controls. Remote operates radio and CD only.
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.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
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.

by  apanthropy ,  Jul 8, 2006
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Line-In, Remote, Good sound for a boombox.
Cons: Huge/Heavy, No MP3, still sounds like a boombox.
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.
This reviewer recommends this product.
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...

Poor example of what used to be

by  hitrack ,  Feb 7, 2009
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Looks cool, good tone, nice bass.
Cons: Display to small, not backlit, buttons not backlit, tape deck an after-thought.
The Bottom Line: Worth it on sale or clearance.
This reviewer recommends this product.
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

by  bettercheddar ,  Apr 19, 2007
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful.
Pros: The sound is worth the money asked for the product.
Cons: Weight, RED Light for bass activation is an eye sore!
This reviewer recommends this product.
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

by  ravenecho ,  Jul 2, 2001
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Great price, features, sound and looks.
Cons: Weak radio reception, preset equalizer
The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is two thumbs up. You get a lot from this unit for only $99.
This reviewer recommends this product.
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

by  ahess70 ,  Feb 21, 2008
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.
Pros: VERY good sound, line in, tuner power, digital tuner.
Cons: No clock, acquired taste on looks for some, no mp3 off CD-R CD-R/W.
This reviewer recommends this product.
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!

by  tcappert ,  Aug 5, 2002
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Looks, remote included, subwoofer, plenty of volume, excellent sound!
Cons: poor fm reception...no CD recall.
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!
This reviewer recommends this product.
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

by  nathanmeyers ,  May 18, 2007
5 out of 6 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Good power and sound quality
Cons: Big, heavy, and ugly
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.
This reviewer recommends this product.
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...
