No headphone jack best for home audio

I bought this because it said it has a headphone jack. What a rip off. Neither on it, nor in any documents. Wrong description.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • No form needed

Beautiful looks and great sound

I gave away my (cheaper) Panasonic RC-CD500 (and she loves it) and then bought this Sony ICF-CD 873. I like this one better! Sounds great and looks good.

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Frequency

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very good sound BUT SOME PRACTICAL FEATURES MISSING

What's missing is a remote control for the price, backup battery, wake-up call for momentary power outages, awkward location for Daylight Saving Time button, easy to press when waking up, and the inconvenience of mounting anything on top in a dark room.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Possible Contender

This product would be excellent if it weren't for two BIG flaws.1. Radio reception is horrible, barely picking up stations, works fine on several of my other radios. Thus, this device is more like a CD player than a radio.2. When I turn on the radio or CD, there is an audible background hum. I don't know if it's because this device is defective or something. Tried troubleshooting (tried other locations, outlets, let it burn a bit) but no luck. Technical data: 94 Usability: 93 Performance: 10…

Pros
  • Excellent Price
Cons
  • No Machine

Now I am happy. top of the line!

I looked at the Sony ICF-CD820 model and was disappointed (see test report). So I upgraded to ICF-CD873. Now I am happy. This block is much better designed. The mega bass connection produces a very good, rich Bose-like sound for its size. The AM/FM tuner has a digital setting that should be updated. You can tell this is a newer design as AM operates at 1710kHz. Both AM and FM are sensitive. This is definitely a high-end clock radio. You can choose a synthesized voice message with a display or…

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Communication with seller
