LG FA163DAB

By Nate Lanxon

LG's latest CD micro system is the FA163DAB -- catchy, huh? -- and with it comes DAB radio and iPod docking functionality. There aren't a million iPod-compatible DAB systems in the world, and even fewer that conform to this form factor. Plus, the ...

Above average sound quality for price ; affordable ; good iPod functionality ; great accessories

Build ; dot matrix screen isn't great ; not good for all types of music

Overall this system is okay to use, with good radio offerings, seamless integration with iPods and, for the most part, good sound quality. For pop, jazz, vocals and electronic music, it's a sound offering for £200, despite its questionable ...

LG FA163DAB Hi-Fi system

By Stuart Miles

Can the sound still impress on closer inspection?

USB support, sound for acoustic vocal or classic music

Volume control, styling, playback of more challenging tracks not great

Lots of promise, but in the end disappointing

We all want big sound from a small box, but will LG\'s FA163DAB Hi-Fi system let you achieve that? As for the design, it\'s the typical black gloss and metal that LG has rolled out across its Hi-Fi range, however while it looked good in the demo,...

LG FA163DAB

Packed with features and costing just two tons, this LG looks a bona fide hi-fi bargain. But is there something missing?

Loads of features and functions. Direct recording to USB. Smart looks. Even sound. Great value

Boomy bass. Lacks all-out detail dynamics and scale. Touchscreen controls are a pain

LG FA163DAB

If you’re on a budget this is a great little versatile system â€" pay more for a jump in sound quality

Loads of features and functions; direct recording to USB; smart looks; rich, even sound; great value

Boomy bass; lacks all out detail, dynamics and scale; touchscreen controls are a pain

Yes, LG has delivered a feature-packed micro hi-fi system for just ?200. And, while this LG is far from disgraced, it's not quite in the same sonic league as the machines from the traditional players in the market. We're not best pleased with the...
