4.0 out of 5 stars Very clean sound, November 28, 2004

(1) Plusses:

By "very clean sound" I mean that the accuracy/lack of distortion is excellent for a unit of its size.

I use it for water aerobics classes, along with several other boomboxes at the same time (that all receive their music via a low-power FM transmitter). In this environment, compared to both the Aiwa CD Boom Box - CSD-XD55 and the Sony CDF-G70, the S2 has less volume but cleaner sound, especially when the bass button is on.

(2) Minuses

I keep accidentally activating the Jog-Lever -- the joystick on the handle -- when I grab the S2 by the handle. "Accidentally activating" means that I knock the FM tuner off its station.

(3) Other considerations

It does have an FM antenna, that completely disappears into the body of the unit.

(4) Summary

"Very clean sound" means that, if you want a true portable, it's worth the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does What I Need It To, June 26, 2005
This review is from: Sony ZS-XN30 Multi-Codec S2 Sports CD/Tuner Boombox (White) (Electronics)
I bought this boombox because it has one unique feature that is hard to find on any other boombox.

My primary use for this boombox is to download very long mp3 files (two hours long) from the Internet(talk radio files). The problem is that I may listen to fifteen minutes of this file in one day, and then listen to the rest of the file later. With most boomboxes (once power has been turned off/on), I would have to start over at the beginning of the file and try to fast forward through fifteen minutes to get back to where I left off.

However, the Sony ZS-XN30 *remembers* exactly where it left off in the mp3 file. So if I listen to fifteen minutes of a two-hour mp3 file, and then turn the power button off - I can then go back the next day and the file will start playing exactly where it left off. I even tried unplugging the power chord (with no batteries installed), and it still remembered where it left off. This only works if you don't unplug the power for... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad product, but it could stand a few improvements., November 19, 2004

I've owned this stereo for a couple of months now. I got it essentially for free because of the "Sony points" that I earn by using a Sony credit card. As a result, price was not an issue for me. I do not profess to be an "audiophile," so I do not consider myself qualified to address hyper-technical issues about the quality of the sound that this stereo produces.

First impressions: this thing was way bigger than I expected it to be. That is, it was longer than I expected it to be. All accounts report it to be 16 7/8 inches long (i.e. the Amazon website and the sonystyle.com website), but this thing is probably at least 3 or 4 inches longer than that. I would put my official estimate at just over 20 inches long. I know, that sounds like a minimal difference, but instead of getting a small-ish stereo for my office, I ended up with a large piece of equipment that I really couldn't just stick in an un-noticeable location. (If you're interested, as for the other... Read more
