Philips AZ1330D MP3/WMA-CD Speaker System with Remote Control and iPod Dock (Black) Review

This is the only product on the market that fit 3 simple requirements I had:
1. Portable boombox
2. Will play my stacks of mp3 CDs
3. Will dock my ipod and play songs from the boombox controls.

Didnt think that was alot to ask but this really is the only product of its kind.Works great and would have gotten 5 stars if not for following flaws:
1. No power button on the remote!This is a biggie.You have to remember to turn it on before you sit down across the room.And you cant leave it on all the time either because of its energy saving shutdown feature.

2. They got rid of the preset buttons in favor of a sleeker look.Thats OK, but it sure isnt as nice to go to your favorite AM or FM stations by hitting the forward and back buttons and cycling through all 25 presets.Would rather have the first 6 as hard keys (like in a car stereo).

3. AM antenna reception could be better.

4. Sleek & shiny black casing looks real slick and nice but it also shows fingerprints and dust alot.

5. [Minor complaint] CD loader is a tray that comes out like on a computer.Sort of slow but its OK.

Everything else is perfect in every way!Love this thing and highly recommend it if you can get over the issues above.

Superb Performance in Compact Design

Bass Reflex Speakers Deliver a Powerful, Deeper Bass
The Bass Reflex Speaker System delivers a deep bass experience from a compact loudspeaker box system. It differs from a conventional loudspeaker box system in the addition of a bass pipe that is acoustically aligned to the woofer to optimize the low frequency roll-off of the system. The result is deeper controlled bass and lower distortion. The system works by resonating the air mass in the bass pipe to vibrate like a conventional woofer. Combined with the response of the woofer, the system extends the overall low-frequency sounds to create a whole new dimension of deep bass.
Dynamic Bass Boost for Deep and Dramatic Sound
The Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes your music enjoyment by emphasizing the bass content of the music throughout the range of volume settings--from low to high--at the touch of a button. Bottom-end bass frequencies usually get lost when the volume is set at a low level. To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be switched on to boost bass levels, so you can enjoy consistent sound even when you turn down the volume.
