Bought this Philips hi-fi off of ebay for a mere £30, brand spanking new and including delivery! I can only sum it up in 1 word.....Excellent! Sound quality is next to nothing, I would have expected to pay something in the hundreds for something of that quality. It is very hi tech, has the usually CD player, tape player, radio, however it also contains a USB port, superb for connecting up your MP3 player, or your flash drive and it also comes with a AUX input, so if your MP3 player isnt compatible with the system you can plug it in through the AUX cable, however the downside to this would be you cannot change tunes with the included remote control.
It looks very neat and modern, would fit into many styles of rooms, and its wood finish on the speakers is not cheap and nasty, and looks very stylish.
I did find there was a few downsides however, the radio for one took awhile to tune into a good station and get a good reception, however I feel this also may be where I live (out in the country) and getting a good signal has always been a problem. The other upset was the USB port would sometimes not pick up the USB device inserted, it wasnt a big deal, it would eventually pick it up after a couple of reboots, however an inconvenince at the end of the day.
Though I would not let these two tiny defects alter your decision, this little piece of technology is well worth the money, I would still have bought it if it cost £100, would suit anyone, anywhere. Great investment!
