Sony S2 Sports ZS-X3CP CD Boombox

Pros: Great style, very good sound, MP3 capability, and water resistant.

Cons: No remote

The Bottom Line: Great all around system. Very easy to use. Very funky design. The only thing is that it should have come with a remote control but SONY HAS DONE IT AGAIN!

Review: I bought the boombox back in November so that I can have some music to listen to while using my Bowflex in my garage. There were other boomboxes that I was interested in purchasing but the funky design of this boombox is what made me buy it. The design...

Pros: Amazing durability and good sound

Cons: just a little bit big

The Bottom Line: This portable player is beyond durable with good sound and nice features.

Review: I bought this player a few years ago to conduct marshbird surveys (play the bird's calls and note their the responses). I really only needed it to be better than average in two areas: loudness and durability. Loudness was at least adequate, but the ...

Pros: MP3 Player, programmable play lists, shuffle play, cool design

Cons: Cost a bit more

The Bottom Line: New purchase for me and have no regrets that I spent more than I intended.

Review: Just bought this for a Beach vacation. Got a great price at Target (as low as any I found on the internet). Wasn't really looking to spend this much for a boombox but the MP3 capability made it worth it for me. Also like the water-resistant nature of...

Pros: Water-resistant, rugged design (good for kids), MP3 capable

Cons: More expensive, no remote

The Bottom Line: A nice solid unit, durable and rugged. Handles MP3's well, and is versatile for use in many different environments. Will stand up to kid use and abuse.

Review: The SONY S2 boombox is part of the new Sports line. it looks pretty funky, but it is rugged, water-resistant, and very portable. It kind of reminds me of a pair of Oakley sunglasses. The black plastic front between the two speakers serves as the unit's...

Pros: Style, durability, sound

Cons: mp3 playback could be better

Review: I feel that there are a few problems with this boombox particularly with the mp3 playback, but I bought it for $55 on ebay, so any shortcomings of the boombox are made up for by the great ...

Pros: Plays MP3 excellent design water splah proof

Cons: No equalizer Cannot read some MP3 discs

The Bottom Line: An excellent design but I cannot tell if the parts used for its construccion are in A condition, the optical block broke down after three weeks of use.

Review: I used Sony ZSX3CP Boombox in my office for 3 weeks and suddenly it stop playing. I took it to an authorized sony center for repair. They told me that the optical block was damaged and they will have to request this part because they did not have it in...

Pros: nice design, okay sound, claims to play MP3 CDs

Cons: very poor radio reception, poor user interface

The Bottom Line: buy something else, and rember to check out radio reception first.

Review: On the website, this looked like the box I for me. Good looks, plays MP3 CDs, and made by Sony -- which is ussually at the higher end of consumer electronics. After returning the first, I can say that the problems with this box are inherent in the...
