Summary: Solid boombox!
Review: I am impressed for the $$$. Remember people, this IS a boombox, not a home system, so I wouldn't buy this as your home entertainment system! I would recommend for anyone for their apartment/dormroom, garage workshop, patio/deck, office, etc. Great sound for a boombox and a great deal for the $$$. Great wOOx bass, easy to use, cool looking. The only negative is that it is a little bulky. There COULD be a little distortion if you try to turn the volume all the way up and depending on the CD/type of music, but this is true with most boomboxes. Very Solid.

Summary: Great Sound for the price
Review: I bought this boombox about a year ago and it is wonderful! The features on it are great. I took it on vacation and used it as a surround sound system, it also doubles up as pc speakers. The only thing I would say bad about it is, it is kind of bulky.

Summary: Awesome little system!
Review: I bought this boombox on April 11, 2004 at Meijer for $89.97. What more could you ask for in a boombox. This one sounds great with its patented wOOx technology that gives you rich and accurate bass. You can connect an auxiliary source such as your game system, DVD player, etc., if you desire. When you crank up the music, you can see the miniature wOOx subwoofer vibrate. How awesome is that! If you want a great sounding boombox with rich and accurate sound with low distortion, this one's for you. Good luck if you are shopping for a boombox that is right for you.

Summary: The perfect office jukebox
Review: I bought this boombox to use at my office. I needed something that sounds good at lower volumes. This definitely does. I was also very interested in the USB link between my computer and the boombox. I love that feature! I use the included MusicMatch Jukebox software to rip my CD's to my hard drive. This means that I now have a huge selection of CD's saved on my hard drive, and that the software allows me to play them "jukebox style" through the boombox. Now I'm never at a loss for music to listen to, and I have thousands of songs to choose from. Sometimes I just pick several albums at once and choose the "random" mode to have continuous music all day long. This thing is great, and for under $100 you really can't go wrong. The only thing I would mention is that the player is fairly large and heavy (due to the big subwoofer magnet) and has the carrying handles on the sides, so it's not a good choice for a "carry along" CD player. But for a good home or office player with a cool USB interface for computers, this is a nice little system.

Summary: This unit does play mp3 CDs! Warning about wrong review
Review: I bought this unit just recently but have tested it with all kinds of CDs.It does play Cds with mp3s. The mp3s can be arranged in folders (albums...) or just burnt into the root directory. Please ignore the review stating that the boombox does not play mp3 Cds, it is absolutely misleading. Sound and radio reception quality is excellent/

Summary: MP3's
Review: I love this boom box. It sounds great. I plug it into the T.V. and get that same sound when watching. I burn 80 min.'s of mp3 songs on my c.d.'s, and they play perfectly. But if you format to burn 100 mp3 songs on a c.d. the boom box will not read them. This is fine with me because by the time I've listened to 80 min.'s of one artist I'm ready for a change. I love the size, not ,too big to easily move from room to room.

Summary: Great boombox for the price
Review: I won this boombox off of cokemusic.com last year, and although I didn't have to pay for it, I am very glad to have taken the time to enter into the drawing for it. At the time, I was looking around at boomboxes in this class, because I am an active person and my home stereo system wasn't portable. Although this is a big boombox, it produces high quality sound and for the price you can't go wrong. This component is unique in that you can plug it into your computer via usb, and not only use it as a set computer speakers but actually select and control the tracks with the boombox as if it were playing an mp3 cd (which contrary to popular beleif, it can't do). So you can use the remote that comes with it to select tracks on your computer through your boombox. The only setback with this is that you have to use musicmatch for this feature to work, which is a good program once you have used if for a while (the transition from windows media to music match takes a while). This boombox also has deep base and usually plays well at high volumes, although there have been incedents when distortion is present. The tuner is good, and the auxilary option makes it possible to play almost any audio type if you have a player of that type. For example, the boombox doesnt have a cassette deck, but if you have a portable one with the proper cable and a headphone jack, you can plug it into the boombox. So far I have no real complaints with this device, apart from its bulk and weight when it has batteries in it. Feel free to email me at Litdboy@yahoo.com with any questions you may have as I would be happy to answer them.

Summary: Super sound, great features
Review: I've only been using the AZ2555 for a couple weeks so I can't comment on reliability. I was aware when I bought the box it did not play MP3's. MP3 capability would be nice but all the MP3 boxes I listened to in this price range did not have the sound quality of this unit (which is very important to me). It was the great sound and features that sold me. For example, it provides complete control over EQ which was not available with the other boxes I looked at. The speaker system provides deep smooth response and low distortion (I haven't played it extremely loud or outdoors). The tuner is also very good. I really like the side handles as they don't get in the way and make carrying the box (one side up) easier. I'm thinking of buying another one for my workshop.
