I have come to expect quality from Sony and as usual they delivered. The fun color is just what my 6 year old daughter wanted for her new "big girl" room and the sound is excellent. This is the second product I ordered from B&H over the last year and I remain impressed with their [...] quality. I will be a repeat customer.

Comments about Sony ZS-E5 Colorful CD Boombox With AM/FM Tuner (Aqua):
We bought this CD Player and radio for an elderly woman -- who is not electronically or mechanically inclined -- because it has over-sized controls and is easily carried and handled. The unit proved to be ideal, although somewhat heavier than expected. The controls are easily understood, the CD spindle handles the disc with ease -- overall a great product and good sounding too!

Comments about Sony ZS-E5 Colorful CD Boombox With AM/FM Tuner (Aqua):
I bought this boombox to use at work at low volume. It gets good radio reception and sounds just fine. It's easy to adjust the volume when someone is talking to me or when the phone rings. The CD player is simple to operate and I have had no problem playing CDs I've recorded myself. I get some comments about the color and shape (it looks like a space craft or small swimming pool) but that's OK. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Bought this for my 6 year old to replace a CD boombox that had stopped working. It is lightweight, easy to use, and colorful. The sound quality is not very good, but certainly adequate for a child. She is loving it so far!

Comments about Sony ZS-E5 Colorful CD Boombox With AM/FM Tuner (Aqua):
We bought this cd player for our two year old instead of buying on of those childrens cd players that break within a week. She listens to her cd's all day long and so far the cd player holds up great. It is very sturdy !

We bought this for our 4-year-old daughter to use in her room. It is sturdy, not too bulky, and so far easy to use. Very happy with purchase. Haven't had it long enough to find anything negative.

Comments about Sony ZS-E5 Colorful CD Boombox With AM/FM Tuner (Aqua):
Bought this for my 7 yr. old niece and so far, so good, easy to use and just what she wanted/needed. Great for her room and she can take it with her with the batteries to play it outside or for family trips camping. The adults and older kids can also play their music with the adaptability to music in and that is a plus. The only thing better would have been a clock, but that is easily found, we like this and so does she!

Comments about Sony ZS-E5 Colorful CD Boombox With AM/FM Tuner (Aqua):
I bought the ZS-E5 CD Boombox a couple years ago for my elderly mother, and she loves it! It is easy to use, with large, clearly marked dials. Recently, she asked me to buy another one just like it, because they have been borrowing hers for church services at her assisted-living residence. Everyone there loves it! Seniors are confused by and have difficulty using the typical CD boombox or mp3 players. I have a 9-month old granddaughter and plan to buy one for her. If you want to rock the house, not so much; but for kids, seniors and others with visual or tactile issues this is a really great choice!

Comments about Sony ZS-E5 Colorful CD Boombox With AM/FM Tuner (Aqua):
I bought this player for my elderly father-in-law who is somewhat impaired due to a mini-stroke. I wanted something easy to use with large buttons and this player fit the bill. I was pleasantly surprised at the tone quality, which is quite good for this type of unit. There are fewer and fewer choices for standalone CD players in this new world of streaming media. But after researching the alternatives, I believe this is the best in class.

Comments about Sony ZS-E5 Colorful CD Boombox With AM/FM Tuner (Aqua):
I listen to CD books and music at night to fall asleep and the sound is very good the best that I have found. I wore out the last one after 2 years, the CD stopped working and I was lucky enough to find this unit again. I went through 4 or 5 that would not play all my CD's and they did not have any volume or good sound. I will be lost when I can't buy this unit next time and have to spend much more money to get the same quality.
