Review on Sony Portable Bluetooth Digital Tuner AM/FM CD Player with Mega Bass Reflex Technology for Enhanced Stereo Sound System by Trevor Blazis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A few real flaws

I'll start with some good news. The sound of this device is decent considering the relatively low price. On the downside, the small screen isn't backlit, so it's hard to see (which isn't a big deal) and there's no remote control (again, I don't really care). I have two serious problems. . First, there are only 3 radio presets, even though the description on the Revain page says there are 20 FM presets and 10 AM presets. I can only live with 3, although I would have preferred a few more, but the inaccuracy of the description is really concerning. Another problem is that the part of the back panel that covers the battery compartment has serious design flaws. With some effort I removed the fairing but I managed and put the batteries in. When trying to put the panel back in place it jammed terribly with the bottom part being stuck and the top sticking out. Worse, I can't turn the panel on or take it off, so now it's half on and half off. In hindsight, my mistake was probably placing the bottom first rather than the head, but somehow it shouldn't have happened. As I said, the sound is quite decent for the price, but...

Pros
