I have owned both the current and previous models of this Sony unit. All features and functions work well within the configurations of a portable stereo unit. For my own description I would not necessarily say this is a "compact" unit. It is a full size box with many functions and features to enhance listening performance. It is heavy to carry around and is best suited (for me, anyway) to sit upon a shelf in my work area. sound/ tone features can be adjusted to each individuals tastes using various preset equalizer functions and the woofer as well. Radio delivers better (louder) tone than the tape/cd selections but it did not take away from the sound quality too much, in my opinion. Everyone likely has their own preferences for sound quality and this unit seems to suit my needs well. I was disappointed to not find it in current manufacture, but maybe Sony will see fit to reintroduce it or an updated/upgraded unit in the future. My listening tastes run the gamut from heavy metal to classical and this unit holds all genres well in sound quality(note- have not tried/listened to heavy bass music, so I cannot attest to its' quality in that format)Read full review

Big sound with many features in a portable Boombox, easy to move around and a great option for outdoor sound and activities. A great option for sound around the Hot Tub/Spa for the fall winter months.

We bought this because we use it in our community fitness center for dance practice and in the shower for practicing karaoke. It's got terrific sound and power. The woofer adds terrific bass. The only downside is the weight for carrying it around. It would also be nice if it could record in the cassette mode. It was pricey but the reviews were so good compared to other products that had positive and so many negative reviews at somewhat comparable prices.
This is the best boombox that Sony has ever made !! It has the best sound !! I am about to purchase my third one !!!
