Sony CMT-CX5BIP review

 

The CMT-CX5BIP from Sony is a mid-priced entrant in the wall-mountable micro hi-fi market and covers a lot of bases

Plenty of music sources ; Attractive design ; Decent price

Clunky dock adapter ; Speaker cables look naff ; No USB drive support

Is the Sony CMT-CX5BIP reasonably priced? Yes it is. Does it have all the major connections and features that a micro hi-fi buying consumer would want? Yes it does. How does it sound? Pretty good. It is based on these simple facts that you have to...

Sorry to Buck the Trend

 

I received this within the last couple of days and, to say that I am bitterly disappointed with it is an understatement. Firstly, the blurb states that it has USB.... NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!

Consumer review by:

Sony CMTCX5BIP

 

This is a lovely, sleek and compact Hi-Fi system. It looks great and the sound quality is impressive.

Consumer review by:

Stylish minisystem

 

For the reasons this system is bought I am happy to give it four stars. The sound is good, and can be adjusted either with the DSGX feature (usually left on) and adjustable bass & treble (use the EQ button on remote). Music played through CD, Ipod or...

Consumer review by:

Not a bad mini system

 

Good quality sound for such a small unit, the only reason I rated it with 4* was the speaker cables are only about 2 foot long and though the picture gives the impression you can keep the speakers connected to the unit you can't. I've ended up...

Consumer review by:

What a nightmare!!

 

Lovely sound & everything that I had hoped for with one MAJOR exception. Although the DAB reception in my area is excellent (I have two other DAB radios (much cheaper than this) I have only been able to get about 4 stations. So. I purchased a Philex...

Consumer review by:

No Complaints for a 2nd System

 

I spent a while looking for a small hi-fi for a spare room that featured an iPod dock as well as a DAB radio and, after reading positive reviews here, decided to plunge for the Sony CMTCX5BIP. I have to say I am very glad I did.

Consumer review by:

dont buy to listen to the radio

 

The system was easy to set up and sound is great, the downfall as others said is the radio. You would think radio being about for so many years would not be a problem from Sony. IT's pathetic ! I have emailed Sony but won't hold my breath for a...
