Whether you're on a construction worksite, relaxing on a yacht in the San Francisco Bay, fixing the car in the garage, need tunes to take along on that long planned camping trip, or are just someone that wants an excellent sounding boombox, this rugged Sony ZS-H10CP boombox that was designed for outdoor use is for you. This powerful and beautiful red Sony boombox produces clear sound and plenty of volume for music of any genre. The Sony portable stereo features deep bass performance from a full range, two-speaker sound system. This unit comes equipped with a large, digital jog dial volume control for easy amplifier output management. The Sony ZS-H10CP boombox includes a digital FM/AM tuner, 30 FM/AM station presets, telescopic FM antenna, and built-in AM ferrite bar antenna for accurate, drift-free radio reception. Additionally, the Sony boombox features a CD player that is virtually shock proof with built-in ESP shock protection, two high impact speaker grills, backlit LCD display, headphone jack for private listening, line-in jack for connection to a portable MP3 player, Mega Bass sound system, and MP3 CD playback. Sony has outfitted this stereo with a water, dirt, and dust resistant high impact plastic construction that is more than ready to handle the toughest operating environments. The Sony boombox features a protective guard bar that doubles as a carry handle to protect the stereo from falling objects. The Sony ZS-H10CP boombox is powered by 6 D batteries that seem to last forever or the unit can be powered by the supplied AC power adapter. Please note, that this product was not designed to be completely submerged in water, but it can stand up to wet conditions during an inclement weather situation. I use the Sony ZS-H10CP stereo every day, and it never fails to impress me as it always sounds awesome. Lastly, customers should be aware that the Sony boombox does not come with a remote control and it does not feature a cassette player for enjoyment of your tape library. Good Luck. Enjoy.

Horrible receiver stage
Bought three of them for a camp event. I've got a low powered FM transmitter, and none of these would pick up it's signal, from 100 yards away.. Brought them back to DC...Read complete review
Bought three of them for a camp event. I've got a low powered FM transmitter, and none of these would pick up it's signal, from 100 yards away.. Brought them back to DC, and tried them FIVE BLOCKS FROM THE CAPITOL. Smack in the middle of the District of Columbia. Bupkis!
While the units all sound good, if you're buying them for the radio, don't bother. The only station I could pick up was the 100,000 watt rock station. Literally no other smaller powered radio station was able to be picked up. All three of them.
Everything else is fine, but the radio blows.

Comments about Sony ZS-H10CP Heavy Duty CD Radio:
I only had a chance to use it last weekend while gardening and it was great. I hooked up my Ipod to it and only had it set to a level 5 on the volume and it was loud and clear. I can't wait to take it on the sail boat next weekend. My only issue is that it's a little heavy but it's worth the weight.
Good product for the price!

This is fabulous! I got it for outdoor fun on our porch, in the yard, on the dock, and in the boat, and it delivers everywhere. Yes, its heavy, but also its heavy duty. I have been through many boom boxes for these purposes, and they just didn't hold up, and actually didn't even sound this good.
I am finally happy. And it even plays my ipod. LOVIN IT!

Comments about Sony ZS-H10CP Heavy Duty CD Radio:
We owned a weatherproof Sony for 12 years that endured many raft trips, camping trips, and every warm weekend at the beach. Last year when the tide came in and took it out, my husband was crushed. Luckily I found an even better replacement. This radio rocks! Durable, versatile, and loud. Everything my very active husband needed for the best Father's Day gift ever. Highly recommend this!

My husband likes to listen to his favorite college team while working in the yard or on our pier. The sound this boombox makes is clear and easily heard while he works in the yard.The boombox itself is a bit large to tote around, but the sound is so good you forget that it is big!

This radio is a tank. It sit on a pool deck taking the abuse of the high heat and humidity. It has already lasted longer then any other one.
Being in a brick room this radio gets stations that have never been gotten by any other radio in here. Love the color. The sound is clear throughout the whole pool area. Never had that before.
The long cord that it comes with is great incase you have to put in an odd place. The retactable anntenna is nice, still get a lot of stations and don't have to worry about kids snapping it off.
It is nice that you don't have to swap modes. Each feature has the ability to turn on the system. Highly recommended for pool areas. So worth the price.

Comments about Sony ZS-H10CP Heavy Duty CD Radio:
As a new primary school teacher I was looking for a boombox that wuld keep little fingers away and be rugged enough if they got to it. This one does the trick! I only wish it didn't weigh quite so much - it is a little awkward to move around, but it is virtually indestructible so I guess that is okay. Thanks Sony for a great product!

Ordered this product for my 9 year old because it was bullet proof, however its also a tank(huge.) I ended up purchasing something more appropriate and will have to find a buyer for this box since it weighs to much to send back to the online seller, I would take a $20 hit just to ship it.

We purchased this to use at the beach and especially on our boat. It is wonderful. The sound is great and I think it will hold up well under the harsh elements at the coast. Seems very sturdy and all controls are protected against water spashes and sand.
