Portable Stereos > Panasonic Portable Stereos

Excellent walkman,and a sensible price tag

Advantages: Sound Quality
Disadvantages: A bit flimsy

My Panasonic Personal Stereo is fantastic, and I would recommend it to anybody seeking an excellent walkman, with amazing sound quality at a relatively cheap price. My current personal stereo is the second one of the same type I have purchased, because it simply is that good. I brought a second one because my first got smashed to bits, and this stereo was still the obvious choice after a year of new Personal stereos coming on the market. There ...

Review of Panasonic RQ CR18V EG A

Pure 1500 handheld DAB / FM Radio

Advantages: Good Quality reception, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Navigator button too small, On the expensive side, No case included with radio

I purchased a Pure 1500 Handheld DAB / FM Radio and had it for one week as I did not get on very well with the buttons. I consequently found something else in its place. Here is the lowdown of the Pure 1500 handheld DAB Radio. What it does: FM and DAB with RDS (Radio Data System) which displays the radio broadcast data, ie: The station name, song data, artist data etc. Rechargable battery which boasts to last for upto 24 hours using DAB. 20 Presets ...
...favourite stations can be stored and accessed at the touch of one button. 5 EQ Settings Hardware: The casing is made from metal and was slightly bigger than I was anticipating. The device has plastic silver buttons (which seemed a bit tacky and I am not sure why they didn't use metal buttons instead (maybe a weight issue)). For my fingers, it seemed to be a bit of a chore using the middle navigator button flicking from left to right, up and down ...

Review of Pure Digital Pocket DAB 1500

BIT OLD IN DESIGN BUT ACTIVE

Advantages: durable with nice analogue turner.
Disadvantages: old fashioned and noisy.

...THE WALKMAN. The Sony walk man stereo comes in a light green colour and with headphone stereo then by the side of the stereo, there is a black design. The most of all is the simple rectangular shape it has and that is what entices me about the music piece. Light in weight and very convenient to take about. The Sony SFR-S84/N plays its role mainly on receiving signals like the AM and FM receptions and does not come with a cassette player and this ...
...THE FUNCTIONS. The Sony Walkman works mainly as a station receiver. It has the capabilities of getting stations like FM and other medium frequencies and on the same time, is one of the easiest devices to use. But In the overall functions, it is specifically a radio for capturing stations. Just like I wrote above, it has a yellow plastic across the tiny tuning area and this makes the tuning more accurate and specific. The reception quality of the ...

Review of Sony SRFS84N.CE9

I Love Mine

Advantages: Sturdy, works well, portable, speakers also detach from body
Disadvantages: No AUX, heavy

I got this boombox in 1993 and, even after many moves, it is one of three electronic devices that has seriously outlasted my expectations (and lasted problem-free for over a decade -- not too many products these days that I can say the same about). I agree it's way bulky by today's standards, but at the time, it was a pretty good portable stereo system.. not so much that it's easy to take it out places because it is heavy, but that you can very easily ...
...speakers attach to the unit, making it easier than a standard stereo to move. In any case, I have used this stereo in my bedroom for many years and it's worked beautifully. It even plays CD-R discs, which surprised me, considering this stereo was made well before people could burn CDs at home. The sound is not bad, either. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost the power cord during my last move, so I think this stereo and I may finally break up after ...

Review of JVC PC-X95

Great for the price, but not on-the-move.

Advantages: Very cheap, well-built, all necessary features, easy-to-use
Disadvantages: Poor reception whilst travelling, love or hate design, unreliable joystick

...feels well made (unlike some Bush products) and I imagine it could withstand quite a bashing (though I haven't yet tested that out myself!). Importantly, there is absolutely no external aerial, so it can fit fairly well into a larger pocket. Size-wise, it's slightly larger than the average mobile phone and as I just mentioned, you'll struggle to fit it in a small pocket. Also slightly annoyingly, the headphone jack is located at the side which is ...
...radio on, a quick auto-scan of DAB channels is performed, similar to every other DAB radio in the world. If you're unsure as to why exactly you might want a portable DAB radio, well basically improved signal quality, a better selection of channels and useful text information is put at your fingertips. This radio's blue LCD screen is perfectly functional, although the text does scroll slightly too slowly and there's no way of changing the setting. ...
