Nice system, everything you need This is a very nice stereo system for the sound quality. I would call myself a casual listener of almost all kinds of music (not opera or classic or stuff like that). Iv'e had this system for a few years now and i haven't encountered a single issue. EXCEPT that these speakers produce very little bass. I'm not sure why, but they also crackle at medium volumes when i boost the bass on my laptop. So definitely consider paying the $50 more for the system similar to this one with the subwoofer (i dont own that system but it should add some bass...) But if you dont even know what the word bass means, you will find these speakers as a great buy. Highs and mids are crisp though, just not good enough for bass heads. April 27, 2013
Good Overall This is an amazing stereo system and I would highly recommend it. It has great sound, great base, and lives up to its name. The only thing about it is that if you are going to buy it I would get the other system that is almost exactly the same except it has a subwoofer. This one doesn't even have a port for a subwoofer. The other bad parts are the radio antenna is a cord instead of an antenna and it doesn't pick up single as good as some others. Also, the iPod dock flips down out of the front so it is a little loose when locked in place. I still love my system no matter what though. February 21, 2013
Pretty much useless I purchased it specifically for it's iPhone compatibility. It says iPhone compatible all over the website. Well that's kinda true. I ordered it only to find out It won't work with iPhone 4 and up. Besides that, it sounds like junk. The bass is too much, muted and mushy sounding. No matter where you set the EQ. And the cheap plastic chassis rattles and buzzes because of the bass. Take your iPhone/iPod to a brick and mortar store and try it out before buying. Walk away from this one. I returned mine and I just ordered a different brand that I tried out in the store. February 9, 2013
