Sony CMT-MX550I

92% of the reviews on Amazon.co.uk give this product a positive rating.

Extensive spec and visual appeal ; deft and explicit with voices

The midrange is bullied from every direction ; build quality could be better

Far from as good as Sony’s capable of, and far from competitive

There is a sleep timer function that either turns off after 100 minutes or when the CD or USB stick has played

Sound quality (using my old Goodmans Mezzo 3 speakers - didn't try the supplied ones) , controls, user interface.

Goes 'idle' too quickly when CD paused. Please offer system without speakers for those of us replacing old 'separates' hi-fi systems.

Exactly as advertised, looks good, sounds good even with volume down low.

No headphone socket. I have my system in my bedroom, directly below my grand daughters, so after her bedtime, I have to turn it down low or off.

It does what it says on the tin

I believe that in this day and age a headphone output socket should be included in the spec - it isn't

Excellent sound quality, nice design very elegant looks good anywhere, fantastic product and brilliant build quality.

Can be expensive! But you get the quality that you pay for.

very neat, speakers small so do not overpower the room.

the sony centres have closed,we took out extra cover but still havenot received this from sony,several phone calls to goodness knows where,e mails still no responce. my advice stick to the years warranty & pray nothing goes wrong!!

No headphone socket

Design, sound, easy to use - good quality at a reasonable price

None I can think of

We are so delighted with this sound system - it does all it says on the tin and is a very attractive addition to the room.
