Total Rubbish!

Advantages: Looks good, thats as far as i got.
Disadvantages: It doesn't work!!!

I already have a Philips Streamium MCI500H hi-fi system, and I have been looking for a while for the prices to drop on the WAS6050. I had read that the sound quality was good, and I liked the square cube design of the product. With its small size, it would be ideal for my bedroom. When I discovered it for £69.95 at Richer Sounds (compare that with the prices on Ciao), I took the plunge. The main reason for buying the WAS6050 was because (as part ...
...wirelessly from the 160Gb hard drive on my Streamium MCI500H. However, it will also stream music from a pc if you don't have this hi-fi, and it will connect to the internet in it's own right so you can listen to internet radio... apparently... I say "apparently", because I never actually got it to work. Set up requires you to position the WAS6050 next to the MCI500H, in order that they can register with each other. This step was easy, and everything ...

Review of Philips WAS 6050

The Very DAB

Advantages: Inexpensive, decent output for a bedroom or smaller room, mp3 capability
Disadvantages: No good for a larger room due to the 5 watt output per speaker

Over the past year my daughter has really got into music in a big way, and I have posted a few reviews on some of the equipment I have purchased for her. She usually listens to music through her laptop or on her mp3 player, but just recently she has got into listening to the radio, so her little Philips boombox which I bought a few years ago, has been the favoured way of picking up her favourite station. Unfortunately she struggles to tune in different ...
...poor fine motor skills – and her autism means she isn’t the most patient of children either. I had tried suggesting she listened to the radio through her TV, which has Freeview built in, but once again the autism kicked in and she refused to use the TV as a radio, declaring this to be “stupid”. I decided therefore that I would buy her a DAB radio, hopefully with a CD player built in, and once again the internet was my friend as I did a little research ...

Review of Sony CMTEH45DAB DAB/FM Micro System with Cassette

Sony gigajuke - music to my ears!

Advantages: Great sound quality, virtual DJ functionality is excellent
Disadvantages: search function missing, iPod connection let down

...there are some flaws where Sony could have put a bit more thought into the solution, however I can accept these for the functionality we get. Here is a review of the key features. CD loading So where do we start...well we have to put music on this thing first, and the easiest way to do that is to use the CD drive to load your CD collection. It takes around 5-10 minutes to copy a standard 10 track album to the unit, so if you have a large CD ...
...£549 from online stores. Sony store prices are much higher. Additional wireless units are around £150. Having said that, one of my other options when I was thinking of buying this unit was to get a an integrated multi room sound system with wires through the walls and ceilings and that was going to cost several thousand pounds, so it was a much easier “sell” to the wife to spend £549 on this gadget instead! Backup Having spent many hours, days ...

Review of Sony NAS-S55HDE

Nice sound, nice price

Advantages: Good sound, nice looking machine
Disadvantages: could do with longer speaker cables

I bought this last year as a replacement from a micro system that broke. Its a brilliant little thing, and the sound quality is excellent. It plays tapes, cds which include cd-r, mp3, wma, and cd-rw formatts so it gives you the ability to play your own burnt tracks from downloaded music, and you can also play from a usb device, ive not actualy tried this bit yet because i cant find my usb cable for my mp3 player, but it means that i have the ability ...
...find it! The system looks rather sleek and has a blue digital display when its turned on (not on stand-by) It loads one disc at a time so a bit basic in that respect but im not fussy... It has a total of 120w music output which is 4x30w, ive little understanding of what that actually means but i know it gives a cleaner crisper sound than an average 5w output from similar priced machines. It comes with a remote which is easy to use unlike some ive ...

Review of Philips FWM 185

Music to My Ears!

Advantages: Reliable - Brilliant sound oly rivalled by Bose. Easy to Use.
Disadvantages: Technics have stopped manufacturing these systems. No upgrades available.

...quality? Your right! Technics started manufacturing the "HD301" mini Hi-Fi in 2001. Many of the systems were sold through the high street entertainment retailer, Curry's in the UK. The system was retailed for around £300. The system consists of two high quality 30 watt speakers, a mini amplifier, a single CD deck, a single cassette deck and a stereo tuner, complete with an LCD screen which includes, "Compact Disc Text" - a rare asset, and this still ...
...your system is the beautiful Technics HD301 tape deck which uses Doldy B NR surround sound. I will not teach you to suck eggs, by explaining how a tape deck works. However, what unique with the system is that if your uses a tape to play an album and want a certain track, say "track 10". All you have to do is press the "select track button" 10 times and the system finds it without you having to even use the fast forward button. Magic! Amplifier/Input ...
