Pros & Cons
Pros
The sound is quite frankly astounding for a boombox. It sounds better than anyboombox i compared it to, by a long margin. I keep them fairly low so as not to bother the neighbors or keep me awake at night.

It plays a better mix of my music than i could getting up and flipping cds. Panasonic has such a component, which i plan to buy. The remote works good, and the whole thing is a breeze to set up and use.
Easy to use with just enough controls to tweak all kinds of cds. Only drawbacks are its size and the small, unlit lcd screen. Of course, the durability aspect still has to be determined. It's easy to operate, and he hates gadgets.

I have seen sony's boomboxes but have always thought that they look like an ugly 90's nike air jordan.
Aesthetically the design is uh, let's say not subtlehere's the bottom line:the features (line in!
