A Man's Boombox

bynieman46804 Dec 30, 2006
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great sound, looks really cool (neon light in front), remote.
Cons Very large, no MP3 (on CD). Too much for girly men. :-)
Recommended it? Yes

If you like Dodge Trucks, real beer, and other cool things, you'll like this bad boy. Yeah, it is big, but it also sounds REALLY GOOD. There are a bunch of sound settings, including WOOFER, for minimal, moderate, or mega bass. The unit has both cassette and cd inputs. It also has a remote, which... Read full review »

Almost awesome, but ultimately not.

Pros Line-In, Remote, Good sound for a boombox.
Cons Huge/Heavy, No MP3, still sounds like a boombox.
Recommended it? Yes

First things first: I bought this unit to replace my old CFD-G500 (basically same unit) so obviously I do think the device has merit.



Initial Experience
It comes out of the box like you'd expect any boombox to. Nothing special about the presentation or anything.

SONY CFD-G505 BOOMBOX

bylovehifi Apr 23, 2006
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Can get pretty loud. Flashy appearance may appeal to teenagers.
Cons Boomy bass. Shrill treble. Poor tone controls. Remote operates radio and CD only.
Recommended it? No

I have been looking for a higher quality boombox for some time. I decided to buy the Sony CFD-G505. It replaces the CFD-G500.

I am not too happy with the unit. I will give its pros and cons.

Just like the G500, the G505 sounds very shrilly. I attribute some of this to Sony's... Read full review »

Poor example of what used to be

byhitrack Feb 7, 2009
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Looks cool, good tone, nice bass.
Cons Display to small, not backlit, buttons not backlit, tape deck an after-thought.
Recommended it? Yes

I'v owned the Sony CFDG770CPK about 4 months now. I will say this is nothing like the gods that walked the earth in the mid 80's when ghetto blasters ruled.

This unit has more cons than pros. The tone is excellent and the bass is deep for a ghettoblaster. As one can see the unit is visually... Read full review »

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

bybettercheddar Apr 19, 2007
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros The sound is worth the money asked for the product.
Cons Weight, RED Light for bass activation is an eye sore!
Recommended it? Yes

This machine sounds very good. I wanted a high power machine with realistic watts - this one offers that feature. The bass is a plus-it's rich, but not bloated!

There are flaws here. It's no lightweight! The red light on the front of the machine when the bass is activated is just... Read full review »

Big sound...Little Price

byravenecho Jul 2, 2001

Pros Great price, features, sound and looks.
Cons Weak radio reception, preset equalizer
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this medium-sized unit about a week ago after testing many different brands and models. The first thing that got my attention was it's great looks. Upon further investigation, I found that this unit has a subwoofer. Once I fired it up I knew I had a keeper.

The search was for... Read full review »

Excellent Boombox and a Must for the Garage

byahess70 Feb 21, 2008
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros VERY good sound, line in, tuner power, digital tuner.
Cons No clock, acquired taste on looks for some, no mp3 off CD-R CD-R/W.
Recommended it? Yes

Rugged looking, VERY good sound for a boombox, line in for mp3 player or other source (TV/DVD/VCR sound). The tuner is extremely powerful compared to my last Sony boombox that lasted 12 years. It pulls in ALL my stations with the antenna in most positions. I mean, yeah it's big and takes an... Read full review »

Great sounding Sony!

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Looks, remote included, subwoofer, plenty of volume, excellent sound!
Cons poor fm reception...no CD recall.
Recommended it? Yes

I've listened to all the available portable boomboxes. For the mere price of $99.00, this unit is well worth investing in. The subwoofer is an excellent addition and it really makes the system sound more like a shelf type outfit. The audio output, as far as volume goes, is excellent!

Buy For Sound, Not For Looks

bynathanmeyers May 18, 2007
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good power and sound quality
Cons Big, heavy, and ugly
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this product for one purpose - to be usable in a noisy ice rink. It does the job, with ample volume and good sound quality.

Yes, there are things not to like about it - it's big, heavy, and ugly: its aesthetic screams "male teenager", not "middle-aged figure skater". And it's a... Read full review »
