First what it is not.It isn't hi-fi, despite some descriptions; the mega bass is boomy and sound is edgy. It's better left out. Turn the volume up and the whole case seems to vibrate and sing along.It isn't a sensitive tuner; It skims past many (local) stations in search mode, that a cheap radio at the side can pick up with a telescopic aerial.It isn't a good aerial, you may need to puchase a separate one, (good luck in finding the right connector!) The hanging wire looks awful and why Sony didn't give it a neater telescopic aerial, I don't know.It isn't fast; i.e. It's slow to react to its handset, and this invites double presses. It reacts eventually, but slowly.It isn't good stereo,

Overall I am really pleased with my purchase. I love products that have many features and in addition the design is sleek and streamlined. The bluetooth, audio, cd, decent sound quality, bluetooth touch and overall design justifies the cost straightaway. The reason for my slightly lower score (4 stars not 5) is only because of a few minor things. I would prefer the display to be on the front not on top, radio is fuzzy and have to constantly adjust the aerial or retune, cd takes too long to load and cannot change to another feature whilst the system loads the CD. BUT I would recommend others purchase this product, it will fit any space, you can move it around, and literally you can connect anything to it (laptops,

This speaker is very good - I can play music directly from my phone or tablet using the NFC or Bluetooth function, and can listen to all of my other music and radio plays with the handy CD slot! The sound is clear and crisp (and can go quite loud), and the design is very sleek and smart.My only query is why the remote control that comes with it is not as sleek and modern looking as the device, and you have to point it directly at the device for it to work, however I don't use the remote that much so it isn't a big problem.Overall, a nice piece of kit! looks excellent in the home, and will be purchasing another one soon! (possibly the white colour).

I needed a new CD player and didn't want bulky speakers, so when I saw this unit I fell in love with it. I originally had the CMT-X5CD with DAB radio but this didn't work where I live with the aerial provided and I could only get 2 FM radio stations, so I was lucky enough to be able to exchange it for the CMT-X3CD. This has FM radio and I can get more stations and the CD player sounds great. It is really easy to play music from my phone by just touching it on the NFC button on the top and it connects automatically. I have the version labelled 'white' but it is really more like silver and looks great where I have it placed.

I wanted a smallish portable mains operated CD and Radio with built in speakers and a decent sounding power amplifier. At 10 watts r.m.s per channel, this is perfect for a small to medium sized room. You can play CDs, Radio, audio through a 3.5mm input at the back (mp3 player etc.) and via Bluetooth. My 2 smart phones both have approx. 1200 songs on each and it is very handy to connect up either one as and when I please. With remote control and a sleep timer function, it is also ideal for the bedroom for a little night time music. Also I like the shape, styling and colour of the unit. I thoroughly recommend it.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago, on a recommendation of its good sound quality, which is quite true. It is a little annoying in that one has to be very close to the machine in order to read the display - why not an angled screen one wonders? I have also had great difficulty getting a good quality signal for Radio 3, Radio 4 and Classic FM with the aerial supplied. I've had to compromise with a certain amount of 'hiss' with any two of the three stations; perhaps a longer aerial lead is the answer? As regards operations via the hand-set, this works well. Playing CDs gives excellent quality sound and volume.

This has almost all the attributes I was looking for, plus it is a solid, fairly heavy item giving the feeling of quality. It is actually much wider than the photo would have you believe as there is quite a large 'bulge' at the back, so don't expect it to sit flush against the wall. However, that aside, I am really happy with it and so far, have had no issues. I have attached my phone through Bluetooth, played CDs but more often had the radio on. Shame it's not DAB, but that's the only thing lacking. The sound quality is good and the accompanying remote means you can change the volume or source quickly.

I have had this for a couple of weeks, and am very pleased with it. It is very compact, but gives a very good sound. It is much smaller than my previous music centre and speakers, and fits nicely on my bookcase, which has saved me a lot of space. I am sure there will be people out there who need a complicated system, and would not be happy with this, but it's great for the average person who just wants to play music or listen to the radio. It stands up, but I would have liked it to be able to lie horizontally like a DVD player, but apart from that it is very good for a reasonable price.

Bought about a month ago and found it easy to install both the cd and radio. Sound output is OK given the compact speaker system and 20w output. The only negative is that I'm still struggling with the radio presets. The system seems to like Radio 2 and nothing else - even though I can tune into other programmes. Having read the instructions, and even scanned the visual diagram of the remote functions to ensure I'm pressing the correct buttons, it still doesn't want to know. Will try again another day but in the mean time, I'm happy with the sound and appearance.

I purchased the HiFi unit with Sony Headphones, BTN200 at the same time but could not connect them with Bluetooth, I put it down to my age, 89 years, so had my son try who is in to these things but he could not connect the either. He could connect his I-phone and Tablet to the headphones but not to the HiFi unit. I told him to keep the headphones and I am back to using corded headphones which I did not want to do. I am pleased with the unit as such but it is a big disappointment not to be able to go cordless. For that reason I would not recommend them to anyone

I bought this to replace a Bose Wave that let me down badly.Considering that this stereo is a third of the cost i am amazed at the quality of the sound.The sound is nice and does not have too much bass, its also adjustable on the equalizer.Taking up not much space on my shelf and with blue tooth included this is a superb all round stereo suitable for any average size room. Im considering getting another one for the other bedroom.It has loads of volume if needed but i have not managed to get mine past half way, thats pretty loud ! Superb !

I use this as a secondary CD player for classical music in my bedroom. I have not used the radio or the remote control, where most of the more advanced features are sited.The sound quality is not as good as that of my main HiFi but is decent for the size and price.The sound volume is quite adequate for a normal sized room.The player does not emit significant amounts of light, important if you need darkness to sleep.Only the key controls are on the player. The buttons are small - fine in good light but hard to see in poor light.

Nice unit this, very sleek and chic looking. Extremely portable also. Sound from this is surprisingly good, more than loud enough to fill a room. Bluetooth works like a dream too, can easily pair my tablet or phone without any bother. Also has a usb port for flash drives etc. I mainly use mine as a convenient cd player. Only downside is the preset graphic equalisers, they cannot be modified and there are no separate tone controls. Also has radio which I have yet to use. Overall a very nice cd player...would recommend at this price.

We were looking for trendy looking 'bose' like sound machine that would play Bluetooth but also play cds (as we still have loads of cds). Bose products look great but they're crazy priced and don't appear to offer cd option. This Sony ticked the boxes. Firstly it looks great, sleek and modern with minimal buttons to operate. Secondly sound quality is really good, and loud if you like it. It is obviously portable but needs to be plugged in, and radio is FM (not DAB) which is disappointing, but it gets a 9/10 from us.

Bought this system two months ago from a major supermarket. The price paid at the checkout was less than the ticketed price but even at the higher price, this would be a very good buy. I bought it primarily for the blue-tooth function so that I could play music from my iPad and was originally going to buy a blue-tooth speaker; the CMT-X3CD turned out to be a much better option, also having a radio and CD function. Set up was relatively easy and performance excellent given the price. Very pleased with this purchase.
