Whoo Hoo!

Well sometimes the one you least expect and the one most likely overlooked, comes up with a winner! Emerson really surpised me. I was going to buy a Logitech MM50 but when I put them side by side, Emerson iTone iP550 won out. The Logitech had deep sound but reverberated badly. I was surpised at the clarity and pretty good bass on this model. As a matter of fact, when I put it at its height, it retained a great sound without jumping off the counter. Now, get this, what was most suprising was its cost. It was literally more than $70 cheaper than the more popular Logitech!! Okay, it doesn’t have the accessories, i.e., carry bag and ultra slimness in design, but its got everything else and more: radio, preset stations, clock, sleep button, digital remote, along with stuff you would expect in the big names. And its cute too! For what you get and for the money you pay, you can’t beat it. AND, if you really tell the truth, the only difference in this little guy and those “speaker-only” types, it admits to being a boom box rather than just “stereo speakers.” Maybe that’s why they are trying to charge more for giving you less!

Big Sound in a Little Box
I was more than asking for the sound output of this! It almost sounds like a stereo in full size. I can most likely be buying another one!

Disappointing
I purchased this product based on the two reviews listed. I guess we all have different expectations of what quality sound is. Virtually no bass and at times gets tinny. I bought it for my wife for Valentine’s Day to replace her older Phillips CD boom box in the bathroom. The sound does not compare. The old Phillips sounds much better. If you buy this expecting “big sound” out of a small package, you will be disappointed. If you just want something to hook your iPod up to, it works.
